Dear Emily,
Thanks again for an interesting contribution to the field. In a way an attempt to describe a still highly complex academic research field. ... I have for many years tried to break with academic habits and systems. This often leads to mystification, and comments urging for clarifications and confinements to more academic structures. These are complex comments since the definition of clarification as a term first needs to be discussed. And what is clear and constructive for some is the opposite for others. I like your use of essaying as an method. I am also very curious to know more about 'unmethodology'. I need to read your work with more care, but being in the continuous process of moving between abstract intuitive expression and clarity translated into other forms of expression I approach you with a thought: In the process of essaying there are encounters of various kind. It would be interesting to know from you if these encounters could be cared for more equally in science and art. I have found a lot of 'comfort' in my research while applying a diffractive methdology incl intra-active encounterings. It has allowed for non-liniar and unexpected acts to be performed based on inclusive academic strategies. Have you considered such a methodology in your work on 'essaying'? Thanks again for your contribution!! Eli. Belgrano
Ah ;-) now I see what you did. Isuggest that you enter the command " edit workspace". When in the actual exposition you can add textboxes or any media you like. We can also use sticker.... let me try show... will add a mssage to you as a yellow sticker....
Dear Joa,
I am really interested in your work! WIll follow.

I respond even if I have not read you whole essay. Only parts of it.
I am a singer. Making art that sees no inside or outside. Art is myself-as-sound. Art in me is perhaps that ' experience of deeper natural form'. Have you work with voices? Have you explored your art as voice?
Yes it is!
