Workshop:
- normall about their own topic first
- normally loger
- normally physisally
- normally 1-on1 talks after
Workshop reflection:
- timing?
- phases (1-4)?
- Phase 1 in 4 parts?
- are there things double/too much?
Essaying as collaborative(?) performative practice
Introduction 15 min.
- plan 2025
- workshop
Start 2025:
3 main topis (https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1726729/2430432)
- On Pitbulls RooM Research Mobile (FAA Muzetuin, Tilburg Library)
- On Eniges SAR SIG Co-Agency (SAR Conference Porto)
- On Sex Colaboration with Milo van der Maaden
+ On Bruises Current
Non institutional/public context
Educational/research tool/workshop
- FAA MA Art Education / Performance in Public Space
- Leiden University PhDArts?
- suggestions?
Institutional context
Contemporary literature
- Artistic Research tools/education/peerfeedback
- Collectivity/collaboration COST Artistic Intelligences
- Queer literature
Workshop/tool: Essaying (PHASE 1 + 2) 80 min.
On...
Chose a topic/object that is relevant/fascinating/urgent for you at the present moment
This can be a about your research, but also a personal topic or an object that fascinates you.
Note: Montaigne had: on friendschip, on thumbs, on Plato, etc.
Place them together and match (2-3 people
We will make a mind map in the Research Catalogue
For supervisors: who is familiar with the RC?
PHASE 1: Creating knowledge fragments
- Different ways of knowing (experiential, sensorial, cognitively)
- Different relationalities (human, non human, nature. materials, phenomena etc.)
- Different media (Objects, pictures, videos, audio, text etc.)
PHASE 2: Interrelationality, contextual Mapping - contextualizing - sequensing, placing
PHASE 3: Interaction, interrelationality
No place is fixed, it's a performative colection, a moving archive.
PHASE 4: Dissemination
PHASE 4: Iteration
Guidelines:
- Allow fragmentation
- Allow paradoxes and friction
- Allow free association
- Allow both confiming and counter fragments
- Allow the process to lead
Not about conclusions
Not about definitions
PHASE 2: Clustering (20 min)
clustering
Perform the knoledge fragments in the mind map;
- How do they relate?
- What is the proximity to the topic/oject?
- What is the proximity to each other?
- Which ones can be clustered?
- feel free to add new keywords/synonyms in your mind map
Interact: how do the knowledge fragments interact?
- Is there friction?
- Are there paradoxes?
- Who can I ask to contribute to this essying topic/object?

PHAE 1: Experential ways of knowing
(Subjetive, intuitive, emperical, Emotional, spiritual, intangble, primary, lived experience, existential)
1: Personal - experential- way of knowling (15 min.)
- How did I personally experience (topic/object) in the past?
- How do I personally experience (topic/object) currently?
text- artistic - free
poetry, diary, song text, play, podcast
work
family
relationships
Hobbies
For instance:
- Anecdotes / situations / experienes
- Songs or books from your past
- emotions / feelings / physical
- context (house, garden, vacation, car, etc.)
Personal positioning: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1726729/1774809
PHASE 3: Contextual - (Inter)relational (15 min.)
- Who/what is this (object/topic) in relation to?
- who/what is affecteded?
- who/what has influence?
- who/what is included/excluded?
- What ways of knowing and what knowledge fields are there lacking/missing?
For instance:
- other people
- non-human animals
- nature
- materials
- technology
How is relationallitypracticed?
Ethics and relationality - culures of consent / safeguarding
Ethical dimentions
2: Sensorial ways of knowing
(artistic, non-verbal, embodied)
- How does (topic/object) sound? (audio)
- How does (topic/object) feel? (tactility/material)
- How does (topic) look? (visual)
- How does this (topic/object) move? (performative/video)
- How does it tast/smell?
This part is not about discussing the questions, but expressing them in the requested form, start drawing, share sounds,exppress movements, try to work through through these forms
Record, video, draw, upload,
3: Rational ways of knowing
(Objective, Theoretical, discursive, cognitive, reasoning, logic, analytical)
- How does the (topic/object) relate to theoretical sources?
Choose knowledge perspectives:
note: chose at least 2 you unfamiliar with
- historical perspective
- economical perspective
- political perspective
- material research perspective
- Law etc.
Per perspective look at different sources:
- news/media articles
- academic papers/books
- dictonary/etymological definitions
