Experimental Process
October
Define ETUDES.
Collect and perfect TECHNIQUES:
(Gather gear, adapt code, recruit team, practice coding till team is good at improvising with the techniques.)
Form a cross product between the sets of Etudes and of Techniques. (Not every technique will work for every Etude)
November 17 - 26

Typical daily schedule
Typical daily schedule:
MORNING HACKING: Unscheduled small group and individual work: making, occasional scheduled work with specific movers
LUNCH BREAK, discussion, prep
AFTERNOON ETUDE
All LRR residents should be present for all sessions, whether or not they are "active" in a particular Etude.
1:30 Preliminaries: Recap from last time. Where have we been, what do we want to learn today, what are we trying today?
2:00 - 3:30 Session
Be able to alternate and vary techniques for each particular Etude,
depending not on whether it looks good, but on what we're learning from it.
3:45 - 4:00 Break
4:00 - 5:30 Discussion with illustrations
DINNER BREAK

Roles: two sorts of activities
There will be some who are primarily oriented by / to movement-aesthetic or media-aesthetic concerns, others who are oriented by philosophical-conceptual concerns.
Movement + media (artist-)researchers:
(1) Performers rehearsing creative responses to questions of rhythm, or Reading Body, Reading Space, etc.
(2) Ordinary people in quotidian activity (such as having tea, exercising, making sandwiches, conducting a Table of Content seminar).
Witness second-person interviews (Petitmengin observational technique) from phenomenological, scientific, and engineering perspectives.
Participants debrief after experiences...
Temporality + media researchers:
(1) Talk with movement+media artists to understand verbal report of phenomena;
(2) Tweak instruments to generate observables and conjectures about what's going on in terms of rhythm, ecstasis, temporal texture;
(3) Design instruments for other observables, to be implemented in subsequent months.
