rethinking artistic research documentation
for documenting my artistic research processes a linear form of documentation does not feels actually representative for what I experience. The processual unfolding in many layers, unforseen directions and ways was given a format that resonated best with this times journey to the unknown: how to strike roots into the void was documented in a book form with lots of loose ends….
»we should not joint the world up (that) we should have lots of LOOSE ENDS, in which everything is a knot with ends trailing off in all sorts of directions, that can then be followed and taken further. And that is why I like to think of the world not as a network, where everything is a particular node, and we draw the lines connecting them all up, but as a meshwork, where everything is a line, and the lines all get tangled up together, but no line has an beginning or an end. There is room for life and imagination, because the meshwork is a tangle in which every line has a loose end… that we then can follow and take further.«
