5 practices in total (one with 2 variations), practised as oscillations between (1) Practice of Material Encounter and Practice of Explorative Drawing; (2) Practice of Very Slow Video Observation and Practice of Material Encounter; (3) Practice of the Nahbereich (Proximate Sphere) [variation - marking with camera] and Practice of Material Encounter [outside]
Note:
- The text source for the Practice of Reading: Noticing Attraction and Distillation in Part I is a distillation of the conversational transcript (where the distillation was made prior to the Ecology in Action through a process of marking). In Part 2 the text source is Exploratory Essay II.
