Muindi F Muindi: recordings, next PSF Jan 4, 2021!

Thanks for leading off the meeting and for facilitating the recording, Xin Wei. And thanks to Desiree and Dulmini for the great conversation. 

A scheduling question, with quarters/semesters ending and the holiday season upon us, shall we hold off on meeting till Monday, January 4th, at 12PM EST? 

In the meantime, there could be some sharing of "process germs" and framing texts via email/Slack.

Finally, Xin Wei, I think the phrase "holding intentions light-ly" is quite fitting and fun to pun. All are welcome to diffract, refract, reflect, and transduce the expressed intentions as is their wont.

Muindi: notes from past

Hi all,

Thanks again for joining in the Alter-Eco/PSF reverb discussions that have taken place since November 2nd. Some of us are preparing some "process germs" to share with the group in response to our last discussion, but I don't think that these are ready yet. Thus, this week, I think we could discuss some potential texts to collaborate on and that we would feature on the Alter-Eco/PSF website alongside those "process germs" that can be dispersed digitally (again, as we discussed, some "process germs" that we are imagining can only be dispersed experientially or materially).

Below are links to some of texts written in response to the Alter-Eco/PSF sessions this past summer. Feel free to briefly skim them, but note that we do not need to draw from them.


 

Re: Prototyping Social Forms, Nov 2 reverb

Prototyping Social Forms, Nov 2 reverb

Great !  Thanks Muindi for calling us onward for the first reverb from our  prototyping social forms (PSF) seminars this past spring & summer.   I have blocked out 14:00 - 16:30 EST Nov 2  on my calendar,  but shall we confirm the hours?   (Shall we use shaxinwei ASU zoom in place of the original zoom, for purposes of documentation and availing ourselves of ASU’s automatic transcription, and infinite but time-limited video storage?)

Let me widen the call a little bit to welcome new potentially interested voices.  For newly cc’d friends: prototyping social forms is a fairly loose conversation over the past year that has spawned a few projects: for example:

(1)
a practical socially-embedded  project with educators, e.g Phoenix Science Prep academy with autistic students;

(2) 
Field-tested in European Graduate School and prospectively Dartington UK
 
(3) art-tech-philosopicial experiment(s) under consideration
Extending from past

Xin Wei

Hi team,

I am looking forward to catching up with many of you on November 2nd. I have taken the time to work up some of my notes from our sessions into sketches of texts we could collaborate on, and I have two (very rough) sketches that I can share now: one on "Defining Prototyping" (assembled from our Slack conversations) and another on "Measure and Intent". These two sketches outline insights rather than presenting a full-fledged argument for publication.

Please follow the links below and feel free to add questions, comments, criticisms, and affirmations as you will. One thing to note is that both texts end with propositions about "substrates", and I am curious as to whether there are ways to weave the two texts together.



Best,
Muindi
