SHRINE OF THE MONSTROUS LOG:
Practices of self-documenting and record-keeping through performative research
with Ralo Mayer
We will explore various forms of taking notes, of blogging, of diaries in all kinds of forms and media that document and accompany processes of design. Through methods of performative research, we will play with making records, with keeping records and revisiting them. The week will orbit around and employ concepts such as plot, props, and roles.
The week’s secret master plan involves the creation of a TV-series about a well-known monster. Its multilayered plot can be traced back to a specific location that is close enough for us to visit and celebrate accordingly. The workshop aims to offer a box of tools and playful approaches to document and catalyse your own working processes, as well as to reflect and review various stages of research, design, production and publication.
