Week 7-14: 3/7-5/2
Student-led Workshops to field test experimental observational methods

As a workshop-facilitator, you will share a set of three readings a week in advance. These readings should come out of your existing research practices and there is no need to look for something completely new – just select articles or chapters of books that inspired you the most so far. You can also ask the group to bring in simple tools or instruments (like a measure tape, a mobile phone, paper, pen, a laptop). You will initiate your workshop with a short and simple “observational score” — take a look at the fluxus event score book for syntax/examples. You can stick to a single instruction (which will then take up to 30 min) or introduce a series of shorter micro-observations. After the observation, the class will discuss the experience and give feedback on how the initial observational score could be modified or extended. The collected instructions of all workshops will be “published” as an Observational Score Book.
