Dynamic Archive Workshop

How can we gain more helpful insights

into the zeitgeists of imagination

'behind the scenes'

of our external behaviours

through arts-based in-person and virtual interactivity, creation, exchange,

and data analysis?

How can a virtual space hold creative

chaos in a way that is

inviting and generative

of authentic meaning-making?

How can more creative, playful dialogues

lead to effective collaborative solutions

for real world problems?

How were the arts-based explorations structured?

Expressive Arts Methodology based in the philosophies of phenomenology and poiesis

• Sensitize to the phenomena of our inquiry (imaginative, visual, kinesthetic, audio, sensorial)
• Let the cognitive mind relax, follow your emergent creative impulses allowing the questions at hand to fade out of focus
• Iterate, refine
• Present final works
• Avoid interpretation or analysis until the very end of the process when we will return to the initial questions

Day 1: Researching The Phenomena of Inherent Difference

1. Pair off based on interest in global issue.

2. Explore the natural perceptual, structural differences in our imaginative experiences of the world.
