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
