SUPPORTING MATERIALS (thinking aesthetic thinking through aesthetic research practices) by Emma Cocker

thinking aesthetic thinking through aesthetic research practices is an artistic research project by Alex Arteaga, Emma Cocker, Nicole Wendel (with Sabine Zahn during the first phase), focused on the ways in which aesthetic research practices realise a specific form of thinking: aesthetic thinking. This exposition shares the research process of this collaborative project tracing its key phases between June 2020 - October 2022 and the gradual evolution of an original research dispositive or apparatus called Ecologies in Action. This exposition is conceived as Supporting Materials for a parallel article published in ______________.

Ecology in Action (18.03.2022)

* Focus: A structured exploration for activating a number of practices within a specified timeframe. The Ecology in Action is conceived in 2 Parts. Part 1 (30 minutes)" 5 practices are activated. In practising, testing ways for exploring the relation between being-in-touch (being-with) other practices and being-apart (practising autonomously). Part 2 (20 minutes) - Practice of Conversation.

Part 1

- Practice of Explorative Drawing

- Practice of Material Encounter

- Practice of Reading: Distillation

- Practice of Very Slow Video Observation

- Practice of Voicing Observation

5 practices in total, practised as three parallel explorations:

- Transitioning from Practice of Material Encounter to Practice of Explorative Drawing

- Oscillating between Practice of Reading: Distillation (MINOR) and Practice of Voicing Observation (MAJOR)

- Practice of Very Slow Video Observation

....

Part 2

- Practice of Conversation

Focus/referent: The experience of practising within the Part 1 of the Ecology in Action (directly) and aesthetic thinking (indirectly)

Note:

- The text source for the Practice of Reading: Distillation is the transcript from previous Ecology in Action (14.07.2021)
