Initial Perspective 

 

Collaboration with people who have different bodily movement practices

a. Derive tasks or walking algorithms that are created by the people of the city. The trial the derive by a group of people.

b. The mental maps that come out of the same ‘derive process’ research that I apply every day. And also, mental maps of different people through the same ‘derive process’.

c. Analysis of the resulting mental maps.

 



Lynch (1960) proposes as five elements of the mental maps. These five elements include:
(1) ‘paths’—defined as routes that we choose to move about;
(2) ‘edges’—defined as boundaries and discontinuities in the urban environment;
(3) ‘districts’—defined as characteristics of charactertisation of urban areas; (4) ‘nodes’—defined as particular points in the urban environments where we can position ourselves; and
(5) ‘landmarks’—defined as identifiable elements or points we use for orientation and recognition of places.

DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT 1

 


City identity is flux and socially constructed, just like our identity. So, city is not a container with buildings in it but multiple human engagement what create its identity. Your look -Newcomer’s eyes- is also shape the city. In this experiment, you will reveal the multiplicity of Tilburg!

While you are strolling in the street, a mental image will be appear in your mind.
Lynch (1960) five elements of the mental map can give you a general idea about maps and images.

DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT 1

 


Which paths did you
choose to move about?

I GIVE THESE ELEMENTS TO THEM IN MENTAL MAP STEP:

Did you pass from crossroad and decide
where will you go from?

City identity:

Starry Night: Map for Van Gogh
Map for food in Tilburg
Map for religion in Tilburg
Map for water in Tilburg: border
Map for museums in Tilburg
Map for language in Tilburg
Map for poems in Tilburg
Map for parks/nature in Tilburg
Map for bicycles in Tilburg
Map for music in Tilburg
Map for dance in Tilburg
Map for trains in Tilburg
Map for graffiti in Tilburg
….

Are there any places inviting you
a different place except for urban environment?
such as canals, forests...

Do you remember
how important places are located?

Did you encounter with
living areas such as houses,
apartments?

characterisics...

It was a fun adventure full of nature, small but effective, sun, and the typical breezy Tilburg weather! I just followed where my mind took me, mainly following trees and silence.

REVIEW OF THE EXPERIMENT: Nisan


How did you fill the experiment? Did you fill it in order? 

I think the questions are sufficient. It was easy to answer them, but I did them before our interview. Maybe I answered them very easily. 


How did questions help you?

I realized that I have not thought about Tilburg before. I see my perspective on Tilburg and my feelings about the city I live in.

 

How did you choose the places you want to go?

I chose different places before. After I came from my home to the train station I started drifting. There were a couple of places I want to go at the beginning. I have decided on two locations on my way. I realized where I go when I remembered the route goes to the canal. 


What do you think about your overall experience?

When you walk, you understand where you live. Because you live in the moment while walking. I was also thinking about my hometown. The two cities are very opposite. So, I live in a new place, in a new experience.

GENERAL IDEA ABOUT THE PROJECT: How to Produce Maps?

CITY IDENTITY -work in progress-


IC Tilburg: authencity

 

Textile museum: attractiveness


Puishaven: importance, water. movement and work


Van Gogh: belonging


Inns


Wilhelm is thoughtful. Tilburg is a happy place but also an outsider, far from the chaos.


Textile is everything: roads are constructed according to it.: movement: SPOORPARK


Churches are in transformation with a question mark.


Bells are ornamental in Tilburg.

define the territory 

(multiple territories)?

Where will you arrange the workshop? Also they can go there 2-3 person.

 

go to that place. 

 

why famous places-fascinates people.

 

drifting!

 

if your mind takes you somewhere else also note it. It is important. 

 

people can go to same places and they can discover different things.

Summary

  • Identities are documented with photographs. 
  • Body parts resemble the map elements.
  • Drifts create mood lines.
  • The mood is emotion and emotion creates the quality of movement.

Superimposition of City Identities: Mapping Tilburg from Perspective of Newcomers 


 

will be added tools:

 

Klein technique

contemporary dance

 

my tools:


  • contact improvisation: internal-external, playful analyses (more flexible) DOING
  • ballet: internal-external, detailed analyses. (less flexible) DOING
  • walking-calling memories and body knowledge, observation, play, trying new ways of engaging, playful analyses (more flexible) DOING, PARTICIPANTS. TO DO: DIVIDE THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO!
  • historical research: detailed analyses (less flexible) DOING (RESEARCHING, REFLECTION)
  • photographing-is a tool in the walk SOLO, DOING
  • mapping and arranging photos-REFLECTION of the walk by participants PARTICIPANTS 
  • writing scores in the studio- space, place, and object relationship of participants, image observed on mental maps; also make a connection from my (subject who is observing and analysing the work of art) knowledge about Tilburg and image-photo analyze SOLO, OBSERVATION-REFLECTION
  • contact improvisation with the written scores in location.-space, camera (camera is the audience at that moment), scores SOLO, DOING 
  • video editing-greenscreen costume: overlaying the image documentation SOLO, OBSERVATION OF VIDEO, AND REFLECTION
  • NEXT: How to present the documentation? interactive narration+watching the documentation with AR, PRESENTATION: DOING QR CODE AND PUTTIN LOCATIONS, SEE THE REFLECTION IN COMMENTS.

 

19th flaneur: observation and being affected, oppose to industrialization

21st flaneur: playfulness and engagement, acceptance of the situation, and trying new ways to make a meaningful connection. IT'S OK. you want to shop. just be friendly, don't divide species. accept yourself. accept the world. be in the flow. if something disturbs you, work on that, flow across that situation and make your voice louder-if your human body can start to think, it will turn to action, and probably it will work (the moment of inspiration from the feminist movement and Greta Thunberg)



IDEAS ABOUT MOVEMENT PRACTISES


Klein technique: your own body and external world relationship


Ballet and contemporary dance: attention, game, rule, internal-external world


Combining practices on top: Solo contact improvisation, and playful structure-free play in the rules

-come to an agreement with the object


Walking in the streets:

observation of the external world,

observation of yourself,

the phone is like your extension,

the city is the external world, another species that you collaborate with while you're living in this world. 

communication while walking with movement 


bones to tissue

bones-meeting, acknowledging through the bones: mirroring, mimicking

tissue-physical contact


all these practices are about playing to explore, to engage, to communicate.

 

using the language of the body and movement-not just the human body but also the designed element: architectural buildings and the built environment.


note: documentation is the video to show the communication with body and movement

DESIGN PRACTISE


What is the problem, and how can it be solved?

how can it be solved in different ways?

what is the frame, and perspective?

convergent-divergent thinking

What is the context?


What is the outcome?

Is the solution sustainable?


 

What is it?

Working on the past and the future in here and now/present.


WHAT ARE MY ACTIONS?


PERFORMING:

DOING

OBSERVING

REFLECTING-MAKING


DOCUMENTATION IS THE REFLECTION.


PRESENTING

 

 

 

MOVEMENT PRACTISE


How does it work?

What are my practices?

Can I make it work with these tools?


Is this working?

Can I make it work in a sustainable way?


My initial question: 

What can I work with the tools I have?


Now:

How can I systematize of usage these tools?


What is it?

Working on the here and now in here and now/present.
