meeting w/laura (12 june 14)


look at: tim infold ; lines, how they intersect, twist go apart come together; double helix-y.  this work is like that, can visualize like that--two strands come together and converge and wrap and unwrap and go in different directions and converge again, etc.  the two sides of the spell-desire equation, sometimes it works together iike they were both together, but even when they are in their own 'domains' they still speak to each other.
next work, next project, talked about the outline of an idea posted in my last blog.  
thinking now to have 1 media projection w/no performers, 2 performers w no media, 2 performers w media.  test to see how spell and media work together, how trance works for each performer.  media enters into image and imaginary, i said oh this is about seeing, but what about hearing and she said, look at that french guy again, voice and gaze as objects of drives. look at what zizek says about this, the orifices of the face, the shadow
also note to self : look at laura's thesis again, on gaze and voice 
lacan's word: exstimacy - inside and outside come together (in voice and gaze)  

--focus for next part, again it's the presenting, how to present, be more willing to experiment in all of this, the presentation of the documentation (geoff's seminar on exposition will help articulate this, the mila kunst exhibition will be good practice for the practice, haha, a pun)

and thinking forward to the last project: she suggests i do something already written, removing myself in all the variables til the last, which will see how this works in a text that is not written for them.
this next work is going to be massively written for these particular performers and their particular abilities in trance.  
so the last one will be how this method might work outside of this context.  mm hm. mm hm.
yes.
on fire,
c
