Hi chun, marc and all others ... Im also mentor of one workshop in 2010.playaround. I picked up the conversation in the mailman archive. First we didnt made a scientific research by choosing this subtitle.
i did a quick research about the origin of the term "Do It With Others" yes there was an exhibition in january 2007 with that titel organized by furtherfield. Of course doing with others is used in different other contexts. Found also a text of Hartley from 2003 rephrased in 2008. http://www.cultural-science.org/journal/index.php/culturalscience/article/view/1/6 Hartfiled is writing 1999 179-181 about DIY (have to check this source he is mentioning there "Do It With Others") But when im thinking about particular term "doing" of course i would like to give the merits John Dewey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey He put it into our minds, that we learn best by doing. personaly i like to read now his Aesthetics. See small wikipedia snippet below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_as_Experience ... Art as Experience (1934) is Dewey's major writing on aesthetics. It is, according to his place in the Pragmatist tradition that emphasizes community, a study of the individual art object as embedded in (and inextricable from) the experiences of a local culture. See his Experience and Nature for an extended discussion of 'Experience' in Dewey's philosophy. ... I think what we like to achieve in our playaround workshop is good described with the subtitel "do it with others" because its not about learning skills or producing artzy fancy techno gadgets. so far greets kiilo On Mon, 2010-07-05 at 17:27 +0200, Chun Lee wrote: > dear all: > > i have just read this message from the NetBehaviour list, which mentioned > playaround, but not in a very nice way. i can see their point, and > DO think that what ever influences we have drawn upon, they *needs* to be > credited properly. > > i would advice either pei or escher writing to them as soon as possible. > otherwise playaround would be at risk of been seen as something we > had not intend for it to be. > > cheers > > chun > > ----- Forwarded message from marc garrett <[email protected]> > ----- > > From: marc garrett <[email protected]> > To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity > <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] early > Date: Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:36:11 +0100 > User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (X11/20100411) > > Hi Annie, > > yes, I will write to them. > > I do find it surprising that they have not contacted us, especially > knowing that they have been influenced in some way, to use DIWO in a > similar context. > > I am wondering if there is anyone on this list who know these people, or > are part of the project 'playaround 2010 Electronic Art and Digital > Environment Workshop – DIWO Culture (playaround10 – DIWO Culture).' > http://tinyurl.com/2ud73v6 ? > > Just typing diwo & furtherfield, or even 'DIWO' on its own in search > engines brings many results of DIWO's origins, their research is much to > be desired. > > marc > > > > > > > Hi Marc > > > > I agree > > it's ok but > > you could write them anyway > > > > kisses > > Annie > > > > On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 1:56 PM, marc garrett > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Another groups using DIWO Term... > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > This post will be especially interesting those who have taken part in > > our shared 'DIWO' (Do it with others) projects in the past. > > > > I have been noticing various groups/projects out there, who have been > > using 'DIWO', as a contemporary form of sharing, collaborative, > > collective practice for a little while now. > > > > This a recent project I have noticed, but no references to ourselves, > > the inventors of the term & practice itself - oh well.
