Notes

To present tomorrow:
process
1) Take framework developed by Umwelt and create audio experience. Plan out path, make sketches, and keep it simple so as not to overwhelm.

After revisiting the site, and re-immersing myself in the rituals I've been doing all term, and after being inspired by Stephanos's EPA website, I began to realized that what's actually important to me is
>The space and the relationship I've been building with it
>The rituals and acts as being enough
>What if I share these rituals and practices in a simple way?
>I began dreaming about a porous space where time slowed, a place of care, rest, slowness.
I was moved by the simplicity and accessibility of the EPA's "protocols" and how they managed to still invoke such intimate experiences. I tried to create my own, synthesizing the practices I've been doing and weaving in research.



Can people participate on their own with these little scores? Can we create an archive together and learn together from the lichen? How can we reimagine care for each other and across species?

I began to see the simple rituals I was doing as not just enough but important interspecies
I was extremely excited and this shift brought me more into my body

Rest
Pause
Rehydration
I envisioned people coming and going as they please, a kind of space

But then, so many questions:
Began website but realized I want more in person. But future iterations will have both...
How to frame? If not my voice?
A field guide? Big signs? A map?

Being completely outside my comfort zone, I decided to try out a mini guide, with pictures.
Lots of moving parts.

I pulled together essays, brought drawing materials, and even streamed a video of lichen I took. And then invited people to come.




First idea then next idea then next...
then slow evolution to creating space,
excited by EPA
kind of website?
Funneling practices into pamphlet,
>>Reallizeing imagination is bigger than scope of possibility given time, but envisioning future projects<<
I envisioned this kind of space, which is a new realm for me...
Also design element...

The event!
Go over the entire event, photos, videos, etc. arcs, success, failure, joke, play, slowness, freezing, inside outside etc.
Feedback and reflection
Future collaborations>
Simplicity>
Design>
Evolution>

So my first plan was to create an audio guide that would guide participants through various worlds and stories and lichen. I am interested in sensation and bringing attention into and away from the body and space. So that was my original intention, but after revisiting the pation, I began realizing more and more the history I have with the space and the practices and rituals I've been doing all term. Can I share these practices somehow? Stephanos shared with me the EPA websitem which changed my life. It brought care and simplicity, and I began framing my rituals as scores. What if I opn up these rituals that i've been doign with the lichen all term, and share them with others? What might be the best way to do that?

I'm trying to remember, see, the thing is I didn't catalogue and well, things changed a lot and I was stuck a lot and there was again a compilation of documentation. It culminated in this kind of "event". What even happened?

Took it as an opportunity to revisit the lichen, and this porch which I realized is such
