Research: The MeatBook
1. create SFU contract between DGr & JC
2. collect prior MeatBook work
will be found on BOTH the large computer AND laptop;
please condense to one place (large computer)
create and place all of it in a folder titled MEATBOOK06
3. literature review
search for prior art related to meat.
Be sure to find:Jana Sterbak (Canadian), the (Italian?) guy who created a parquet floor comprised of cold cuts (in artbook that is inside inflated plastic pillow).
ALso be sure to find TALKS that include the video and include them in the archive.
4. place all the prior art, including images and text files (be sure to include citation info) in the MEATBOOK folder,
in a subfolder titled PRIOR ART
5. for talk in Stockholm, reshoot prototype (video)
6. edit, debug, make sure it runs on Gromala's laptop
7. create an archive of all info; put on a CDROM entitled MEATBOOK 2006 ARCHIVE
test CD to make sure it will run on other computers
copy the CD
8. Here, let's discuss the conceptual issues.
(insert here)
phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty), Bataille (the wound; tears of eros); "visceral" (i.e., 2cd brain); pre-conscious reaction "reading" of quivvering meat
paradox of meat and text
teleological argument about text: it led to the dimunition of the senses since people no longer sit around a campfire in real-time, as a community (though I wonder how many communities didn't just resort to eating each other or raiding).
Thus, we are not nec. present in real-time; cannot see, smell, kinesthetically relate to gestures, share food. So senses are condensed to the visual (and sublingual, according to some who think that when we read we kind of move our tongue as if silently reading).
Humanistic argument (that I also challenged with the biomorphic typography).
paradox 2 is meat is dead but it quivers (animisim)
challenging the notion of representation we are not representing, the meatbook IS the thing, not a representation of something else (as text is)
9. Technical issues:
decay, stink, legal preventatives, role of dead animal/carnivore/commodified predatorial behavior
preservatives
