Thursday 2 February, What is TransMedia?

• READ: Lothian 2016.
• DOWNLOAD: Marcus 2015 & Svedmark 2016.
• MAKING IN CLASS: 2 min. Attendance Portraits (Barry. 2014. Syllabus. Drawn & Quarterly. p. 56.) https://www.drawnandquarterly.com/syllabus
We will start off with our first MAKING & PROTOTYPING practice: Taking Attendance with Index Portraits, a exercise drawn and played with by cartoonist Lynda Barry.
Then we will introduce ourselves and our activist Superpower and show the KIT we brought into class. We will interview each other with Themes of our Lives; and using our cards we will the take up making class buddies, and otherwise beginning to create ourselves as a community of intellectual friends.
We will also read, interconnect, and discuss reactions, reactivities, triggers, care-abouts and other points of political meaning, emotion, and action using Lothian and our activities as points, directions, objects, shimmering nests of words.
After break we will organize the course, discuss projects and prototyping, how readings and assignments will work and so on. If we have time we may do either or both, a Noting practice and/or a Prototyping one. We may review podcast and video.
