==== Machine Wilderness Workshops ==== === Transmediale === * start with a general introduction of Machine Wilderness and the workshop / 30min * then move outside for a visit to some mixed green zone, do warm up / 15min == fieldwork part 1: == * people each explore the terrain imagining a typical day of an animal / 20 min * [what are it's daily goals?] * [what are it's daily challenges?] * [what opportunities is it looking for?] * [how / where does it get information to act on?] * [what social communities does it belong to?] * [how does it avoid danger?] * [what is it's energy source?] * [how does it celebrate it's existence?] * take notes, make sketches in notebooks \\ * regroup and review what happened, feedback from group and by Matthew from experience in behavioral ecology. / 10 min == fieldwork part 2: == * explore the same are looking at the animal as a force of influence on its environment / 15 min * regroup and review what occurred, feedback from group and by Matthew from experience in behavioral ecology. / 10 min == fieldwork part 3: == * decide if you work alone or in a group * based on our observations from the perspective of the animal we try to design a 'wilderness machine' based on it's phenology * so imagine you are a machine that wants to be a bird (i.e. your animal of choice) and learn how to do that by joining the local population * [how would you (the machine) make contact?] * [where would you go, what would do?] * [what would be your strategy?] * [what role could you play in that community / population?] == fieldwork part 4: == * explore the area looking at the force of influence of your 'wilderness machine' * we go back inside, review, document(!) and relax
