WEEK FOUR
Someone proposed a regressive method: To locate book A, consult first a book B which indicates A's position; to locate book B, consult first a book C, and so on to infinity .. (Borges)
Rewrite the Tale
Select three Wood Word Joints from the studio's Joint Gene Pool. At least one Joint emerges from your own Project One. Make an informed decision by thoroughly studying all word and wood components of the Pool and by probing compatibilities. Compatibility here does not refer to the immediate putting together of the joints, but rather to the potential symbiosis of their tectonic identities. Rewrite the three tales into one.
Rewrite the Joint
Design a Rule Set as combinatory logic for the selected joints. Start with a simple (ABC) axiom. Let it run for 9 generations. (See example provided in class)

Redraw
Draft three generative drawing of the combined Wood Word Joints. Follow these steps:
- Draw one main section of each joint in two different scales: 1/2 full scale (3"x3") and 1 1/2 full (9"x9")
- Xerox several copies of the three small drawings (3"x3" sections) on transparent paper
- Layout three large drawings (9"x9") horizontally, (an ordering system lightly inscribed)
- Crop a 4 letter string over 4 generations from your Rewriting System. Assign joints to letters.
- Map small drawings (3"x3") according to Rule Set. Superimpose on large sections.
- Redraw three collages as generative drawing. Pencil on vellum (36" x 17" horizontally)
