to the&nbsp;<em>Fabricating Vibe <\/em>Residency Platform<\/strong><\/span><br><br>For my contribution as a mentor to the Dark Matter Playgroup, rather than conduct a single workshop, I would like to try to <em>fabricate one<\/em> progressively with you over a longer, slower duration. This longer-term \u2018workshop-fabrication\u2019 project will require that we construct customised habitats for our own learning, co-teaching, and artistic production \u2013 our own <em>scene<\/em>. This process will be both immaterial (we will devise a set of behaviours, values and priorities that will guide us in smaller teams) and materially grounded (we will physically occupy a real-world workshop-like environment at my studio at 239 \u00bd Brock Street and together determine its operational functions and priorities).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">While I am attempting to initiate a flexible and malleable learning context, I am also experimenting with it through deliberate design strategies, specifically those that attempt to build &#8216;publicness\u2019 into their very operations. <em>Fabricating Vibe<\/em> necessitates that we consistently attempt to codify and externalize our knowledges and practices <em>for one another<\/em> by employing a range of exhibition-like strategies, including didactic address, architectural scenography, spatial ambiences, etc. Through this approach, the <em>Fabricating Vibe<\/em> platform aims provide a space and time for the group to examine the &#8216;exhibitionary&#8217; as not a result or container for &#8216;research&#8217; or \u2018presentation\u2019 but as itself a tool, grammar, and mobilizer for group learning and the making of our scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This is a learning experiment driven by and rooted in concepts and methodologies of \u2018paragogy\u2019 (or peer-to-peer learning), and its structure represents a deeply modified, transposed, distorted, thickened, and folded version of an Open Educational Resource and course that took place at Edinburgh College of Art in Fall 2020 called \u2018Contemporary Art + Open Learning.\u2019<br><br><\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Pandemic-Pivoted Learning<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">As will be outlined in Module 01: <em>Gravity Calibrations<\/em>, the platforms for study that I am proposing and offering here will attempt to take on approaches that differ from the general response that many educational institutions have had to take towards COVID-19: hosting Zoom-based classes, seminars and lectures that attempt to reproduce online classroom-style knowledge exchanges or in-person programming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Instead, and as a more informal educational entity, I would like to engage with the Dark Matter Playgroup to together design and \u2018test-drive\u2019 an experimental (and safe) set of pivoted learning tactics that may involve processes such as: choreographing dispersed navigations of outdoor spaces and cityscapes, hosting one-day &#8216;residencies&#8217; in a shared notebook, co-existing in indoor studio environments through a rotational logistics (not gathering inside at the same time), and other not-yet-discovered modes of embodied learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It is my hope that these strategies will prioritise more joyful modes of exchange that will counter-act the fatigue and burnout that some of us (including myself!) may be feeling at this late point in the pandemic with Zoom-based learning, working, and socializing. Some key questions on this theme that I am keen to explore with each of you are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">How can we safely pivot our organizational behaviours as a scene towards learning strategies that are materially anchored? Are we willing to sacrifice the <em>convenience<\/em> and familiarity of online discussions for slower and possibly more difficult forms of exchange?<\/span><br><br><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">How can we attend to and prioritize the affective dimensions of artmaking, learning and thinking? How can we tune into the \u2018vibe\u2019 of our learning experiences and adjust \/ revise these vibes as necessary, as we move through the project? How might our vibe-adjustments transform what types of discussions, processes and creative outputs are possible within our group?<\/span><br><br><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In the absence of the possibility for safe spatial coexistence, how might we think of our coexistence today beyond sharing a screen-based environments? What role does the spatialization of our thinking have on its development, retention, and our capacity for collective enunciation?<\/span><br><br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Shared Studio Habitat<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For the duration of my exhibition <em>From the vibe out<\/em> at the Agnes (running from February 20th &#8211; May 30th, 2021, although currently closed), I will be transforming my studio space in downtown Kingston into our learning commons, re-configured for this group project, and hosting and propelling its systems of study. In keeping with the strictest COVID-19 prevention measures, my initial proposal in Module 03 will be that we each use the space in a rotational or \u2018orbital\u2019 manner, with members of the playgroup running independent sessions in the studio space, creating a relay of sessional, responsive workshopping while never gathering indoors at the same time. <\/span><br><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">As will be explained in the video posted in Module 03, as a paragogically-driven peer-to-peer learning site, I would like for us to engage with this room as <em>itself a habitat<\/em> for our learning and thinking, gradually developing from it an original \u2018space-making methodology\u2019 through the mutual preparation, caring for and priming of the space for one other\u2019s use. This will transform us all into both senders and receivers, teachers and learners, designers and users, architects and tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vibe Check: Episode 02 | Speculative Itinerants [excerpt]\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/921723967?h=cfb4a6fad3&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabricating VibeWinter 2021Agnes Etherington Art Centre \/ Special Topic Project Space Introduction to the&nbsp;Fabricating Vibe Residency Platform For my contribution as a mentor to the Dark Matter Playgroup, rather than conduct a single workshop, I would like to try to fabricate one progressively with you over a longer, slower duration.
