The studio is asked to produce a documentary about the “site”. Students should reframe themselves within the premise of the studio – Non-Lieux. The goal is to analyze the “site” through your very own creative process free of conscious constraints. Your documentary should be unconscious echoes of imagery, tone and subtext of the existing conditions. Exquisite Corpse is a prescription for assemblage invites chance into the process, resulting in the unexpected.
You start with a script or story board to define your methods and goals. Your script should encode series of actions to be performed to make spatial concept a reality. Before your filming, you should think about the key ideas you would like to express and record. Then, set up a set of instructions / story board for yourself or your teammates to follow. Embedded within your process, your movie becomes not merely a representation, but a codified set of instructions for an artifact external to itself. It is a process of deformation within the serial prescriptive process. It is this possibility of prescription and invention-a cognitive feedback loop that allows for vision within visualization.
Each student should employ various surrealist techniques during the process of making the documentary. In this process, you are asked to conceive, produce and film a sequence of spatial experience. The “site” could be augmented, altered, distorted, or re-configured. Thus, your documentary is not merely a recoding but an analytical tool for you to investigate the “site” in a different way.
Consider aspects of time, measurement, datum, movement and transformation. The movie engages the parameters set up by the studio. The input as well as output of this exercise could be also a record/mark/imprint from the site external to the movie itself, i.e. castings, refliefs or models. They must create both quantitative and qualitative data that map the site in time and space.
The concept, design, methodology, fabrication and implementation of your documentary must be well thought out. Consider the site in multiple senses that enable an understanding of time and space. What aspect of are you interested in researching as a vehicle for “scripting” space and time in relation to the notion of Non-Lieux? What is it that you wish to analyze in order to gain an understanding of the site unavailable in a typical site analysis? What are the aberrant conditions? How will the site be augmented, enhance, extended in order to gain a new understanding of context? How will you set up your movie? What manner will the recording of its deployment take? What will be the format of the documentation and how will it be displayed or understood by others?
Requirement: 5 minutes movie for each student
If you do it as a team, the length of the movie will increase accordingly.
i.e. 4 persons team should submit a 20 minutes movie.
