Week number
16 Argh
Questions: Should I try to present at the research days or just attend? Seems early, but a decent deadline to get my act together somewhat.
Not expression of identity, more of a stealing/borrowing parasitic taking of rules/protocols
What does para afford behaviour around - not taking on the genre, borrowing of the rules
Is the adoption interpretted or mediated, or are they subverted
Taking on the protocols and the defining features of the genre
Tropes as tools
What is genre, am i thinking about just writing or am I thinking about film also, music, art?
Code switching Styles vs. genres
Have a go at writing a glossary entry into what does this mean
Where does the Stylegan thing come into it, and LLMs etc. Borrowing loses its potency. Its not using it as a stylistic prop, its using as a methodolgy to interrogate or work through.
What is the system look like?
Film
Documentary, film studies, field studies - am I making a documentary Experimental film/essay/film
