An etappe in a publication, thinking process.


"Para-architecture" = thinking through architecture and design under different terms.
What would a quasi-architecture be, if we think about quasi objects, ref. Michel Serres.
Sean Dockray introduced the term.

Quasi not as a lack but as a rich movement between. Things, methods, spaces that can function as architecture but aren't necessarily that.
People that not have the ball are part of the collective wanting, playing the ball. The ball is not just the object, but somehow organises, constitutes the collective, the community. 
Collectivity through passing back and forth. Things, props, objects that can facilitate the passing of authority, changing of roles, ...

A publication that consists of a series of conversations.
Our collabaration could be a thread in that publication, or in some way be a contribution or ...

conversational tools
http://conversations.tools/

within the framework of para-architecture, finding overlaps in our practices to have a conversation about, and eventually open it up to other people. 

trying to find a context to try out something - a small intervention, in a relevant context.

Lucy Suchman: human-machine interaction, the story of the blind man and the stick, he can feel the curb or the stick but not both at once
how can you feel both at once, both the stick and the environment? 

"a clumsy DIY steady-cam"

what moves you to do something
movement - being moved

becoming

thinking what a "becoming" architecture, software would be

conversation as a way to formulate what we want from software

both on the level of code but also on the level of the people/structures that are part of it

what would it mean to have a conversational software
how we co-evolve with technology

customisation, participation -- The Turing Complete User

the trouble of open-ness and dealing with the actual boundaries

the fact that you have the legal permission to do something doesn't mean that you can do
or maybe borders are produced on other levels

dialogical art
grant kester, conversation pieces 
"after relational art" ref Claire Bishop
from some random blog: Grant Kester (2005) discusses the movement of a number of contemporary artists towards dialogue-based socially-engaged art. Here the artists avoid the tradition of object-making, instead embracing a performative, process-based approach which “involves the creative orchestration of collaborative encounters and conversations well beyond the institutional boundaries of the gallery or museum…….these exchanges can catalyse surprisingly powerful transformations in the consciousness of their participants”.

conversations that also include spaces, objects, software ...
speaking with, through objects

Objects of solidarity: objects that are formed by and are forming the communities around them

"what an object can hold"
