WEEK SEVEN
He believed in an infinite series of times, in a growing, dizzying net of divergent, convergent and parallel times. This network of times which approached one another, forked, broke off, or were unaware of one another for centuries, embraces all possibilities of time. We do not exist in the majority of these times; in some you exist, and not I; in others I, and not you; in others, both of us. In the present one, which a favorable fate has granted me, you have arrived at my house; in another one, while crossing the garden, you found me dead; in still another, I utter the same words, but I am a mistake, a ghost. (Borges)
Cut
Cut three sections through your first prototype of the Volume of Jointed Tales. Choose those cutting planes (xy, xz, yz) that reveal the most information about your assembly. Draw sections at full scale. Use different line type and weight to establish hierarchies. Draw separate elements with a 1 mm gap. Arrange three sections according to the ‘rewrite’ layout. Indicate cutting planes in small 3x3 picto (axon) at bottom left of plan. (Pencil on vellum, 36" x 17" horizontally)
Build
Build a second prototype (foam or wood) of the Volume of Jointed Tales. The assembly that tells the jointed tales has evolved. Consider your sections (above) as generative drawings. Add layers of improved information to the drawings, and then build from the better sections.
Carefully read the volumetric parameters and tectonic rules from the general syllabus

Research
Prepare three pages (11x17 Portrait) documenting your research on material memory. Page One is text based (Arial 12 pt) and consists of a title for the area of research, a concise description of your focus area, and a summary of the research so far. Page Two is image based (color or b/w) and holds a small collection of visuals you have collected. Page Three consists of drawings and diagrams (b/w) you have prepared to analyze and present discoveries of potential tectonic value.
Write
Your Tale has evolved. Rework your text on the basis of Jeffrey Hogrefe's feedback.
