Technical considerations
1.0 on the organisation and the papers:
I think it is useless to
try to cover once and for good the theoretical and technical terrain on
which we plan to build the Bridges & Rivers project. Diversity of
points of view -as clearly expressed in the Ars Acustica meeting of
Budapest last November- would make it unpractical to try to cover every
possible aspect. What is more, it would be completely contrary to the
proposed tactics of investigation, as described in the following
pages. Another point that supports an open and flexible form of work
documents is the two-headed artistic coordination : if we do not want
it to slow down a project where time -or rather its absence- is a major
parameter, if we do not want to have to wait for the approval or
adjustments or proposals of the other before we can act (this is
Jocelyn talking to Janos but can be expanded), I suggest that we need a
document where we should simply express all of our ideas one on top of
the other, one after the other, accumulating points of views until a
critical mass is reached and someone can generate a proposal out of the
ungoing of process instead of trying to refine a (elusive) theoretical
standpoint on which to build the project. Actually, this very letter,
as well as all other papers included here, should be part of it. What
is more, I have no will whatsoever to tell anybody what to do or think
: on the other hand, I do have the will to share thoughts with others
if others can express their minds on the same platform and if that very
process can bring up artistic collaborations and exchanges. And I do
have the will to help the
process. |
