+ | **Design Fiction** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bruce Stirling: Design fiction is the deliberate use of diegetic prototypes to suspend disbelief about change. That’s the best definition we’ve come up with. The important word there is diegetic. It means you’re thinking very seriously about potential objects and services and trying to get people to concentrate on those rather than entire worlds or political trends or geopolitical strategies. It’s not a kind of fiction. It’s a kind of design. It tells worlds rather than stories. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Discussions at foam Brussels** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tim Boykett | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tim spoke about people resettling from one geographical place to another and still living by the weather lore of the first place. Hence a misunderstanding of the seasons/ leading to dire consequences for the environment of the next place. For example the noonga people in Western Australia considered their part of the world to have six seasons but when it was settled by the English they brought their idea of four seasons with them. | ||

+ | Rasa gave direct feedback on the project as she had read about it in these notes. Firstly she found the focus of the project very vast in respect to potential outcomes. This could be considered a bit unfocussed, however she thought that if the main idea becomes clearer then it was very exciting to have a project with so many potential forms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The videos could be reconsidered in respect to what needs to be said in words and what can be said in images. There was also a question of language and whether text would be best received spoken over the images. We discussed the tone of storytelling and considered the addition of a fictive language based around tonal sounds of storytelling. | ||
+ | * She liked that we worked closely with who and what was at the residency. We discussed that my perception about the work I am making has altered since becoming a mother. I might observe and listen differently, | ||
+ | * In respect to physical languages, she recommended that I study the gestures of mothers and babies in paintings by Brueghel or Bosch. | ||
+ | * I spoke about body weather and how there are physical processes to train the dancer/ performer to embody their environment. | ||
+ | * We discussed the potential for theatrical scenarious to develop from the images and proverbs, live art installations and participatory performance or even community workshops could work well with the idea of weather lore. | ||
+ | * Rasa suggested that I try to clarify several of the potential outcomes as goals and determine the real possibilities of each so that each incarnation is not necessarily a search for one main outcome but rather an individual focus with its own aims and goals. | ||
+ | * We discussed the weather and atmosphere in Brussels and considered where this work might sit in respect to potential presentation outcomes in the future. The conversation then turned towards the suggestion that my next visit could be to locate presenters and performance opportunities. | ||
