HOW DO YOU WORK? Conversations, drawings and responses (Vienna)

Preliminarily in 2012, and formally in 2013/14 , I asked experimental musicians and composers in Vienna "How do you work?". Based on those conversations, I created two drawings of what I call each artist's "epistemic engine", or the way I understood them to work. One drawing was a free form exploration, and the other mapped my notes onto the "Fractal 3-line Matrix", a diagrammatic instrument that emerged in my work in 2011, after the informal round of conversations. On sharing the drawings with them, artists were invited to produce a response in a medium of their choice. This project was supported by the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.

The Organograms were proto-versions of Diagrammatic Instruments. Conventionally, organograms depict organizational hierarchies. The images of arts organizations I created and for which I appropriated the name, Organogram, were based on stories the people working in the organizations and sometimes also their clients and stakeholders told me, about enacting their roles. All those part of such conversations were also the primary audience for the resulting, diagrammatic image, having participated in a reflexive assessment of their work environment. Several of the organograms were associated with additional activities, leading into their creation (for example a design contest), or associated with their presentation in exhibitions (for example musical presentations, talks, or interactive objects, such as wearable buttons). Such events were clues to the secondary, museum or gallery audiences that they were encountering a poetic scenario, rather than a map.

The intra-view is an intra-active, embodied world building exercise. What happens when explorations in intra-action rely on mediation through digital platforms?
