SCORE FOR THE PRACTICE OF VIDEO OBSERVATION FROM A PHYSICAL SOURCE
- Use a video camera (or mobile phone camera) in your hand (in other explorations: fix it on your body.)
- Choose a place to be.
- Become aware of your situated body.
- Observe the different circulating relational scales of proximity sphere to distance.
- Let your body find its (micro)movements in relation and let it evolve in its own temporality.
- Use the camera of your mobile phone as an extention of your moving body.
- Observe the images that arise by chance through your camera, while you still sense your moving body.
- Follow your curiosity and place the camera on different parts of your body.
- Let the rising images move you.
- Stay with your observation until the impulse ends, then close your camera.
- Let the experience echo into your ‘aesthetic thinking’.
- Wait until the next positioning starts to open the camera again.
