FR 7: Future (Re)composition - Meeting at the British Library, Septmeber 19, 2009

Katrine and I met at the British Library to brainstorm our upcoming contribution to the Art as Text gathering, where we'll explore three kind of hybridity: the tensions between the group and the individual, between institutional space(s) (research and art), between reading, seeing, listening across text/image.

If FR's past presentations have involved (re)telling the group's development project-by-project, this "paper" will instead pivot around a concept... How to think through hybridity as a (meta)method? Assuming it's about "and/also" instead of "either/or" habits of thought, what does this mean in practice?

At the same time, this presentation will further our investigations into using imagery (verbal/visual, seen/heard) as well as spatiality...to explore...thinking/manifesting the content of our presentation in ways that provide insight into FR's approach. An important question for me remains: If indeed FR's art/research resides in the process of its making instead of what it makes, how do we share this process with others?  Could projection be a medium for reifying the group's approach? What might hybrid images look like?
