Workshop A: Kirsi Monni and Victoria Perez Royo
Subjectivation in solo-work: Focusing on interaction and interpassivity in solo work.
This workshop does not propose a particular issue to tackle, but rather a working system that allows reflections on questions marked by the concepts authorship, production and composition. These terms will be questioned by means of a particular working strategy proposed in the workshop.
The systems of collaborations we will put in practice are based in dissensus rather that in consensus, in differences rather than similarities. Instead of proposing joint work leading to a common final result, or collaboration in small groups organized around affinities (of medium, format, language or style), we propose to depart from individual materials and concerns and to proceed with a series of continuous transformations operated by the other participants. Precisely the differences and potentialities that are visible in these encounters are the triggers for a dialectical development of the materials and an exchange and circulation of subjectivities within the working group.
The working systems proposed consist of chains of transformations of the materials brought by the participants through exercises of déoturnement , translations, interpretations, and developments of potentialities. The ways to operate the transformations are not given, but are brought up as problems and every participant has to find or devise his or her own working procedures to tackle them.
The epistemological base of this proposal is founded on the consideration that productive communication is not that of total agreement, but that of misunderstanding: the continuous adaptions in communication constitute the true motor of dialogue. The theoretical references to the working systems are various: Barthes’ lecture vivant, Situationist détournement, bricoleur’s practice by Lévi-Strauss, Bourriaud’s post-production or Serre’s quasi-object.
Methodologically, this workshop will span through theoretical, practical and hybrid methodologies, that emphasize in different moments various ways of thinking and reflecting (intuition, reasoning, inference, analogy, among others). This will allow to consider the accomplished work each time from a new different perspective without a hierarchy among different ways of thinking in, from, on or through the materials themselves.

Additional framing for the workshop A: Fielding-Worlding-Patterning-Systems.
This text is proposing some concepts for discussion on how we perceive reality: fielding, wordling (Manning & Massumi), referentiality, tendency to expression (Whitehead) and the arrangement of elements in reflection to mechanic, organic and dynamic systems. Reader included.
