Methodology
I consider myself an indisciplined, research-based practitioner. That’s because I’m not interested in formalizing an academic practice, but rather in using research methods to inform my critical thinking, and at times, translate the literal concepts into a different artistic work.
From Critical Reflection to Diffraction and Resonance
From “PAR: Performance (or Practice) as Research” by Robin Nelson, I adopted a conceptual approach to journaling and established a theory-practice loop through daily journals. Moving from the metaphor of reflection to thinking as a mirror to overcome the fixity of subject-object relations, I know think in physical metaphors, here “diffraction” points to intra-dynamic relationships and the more entangled dynamics of “being-knowing-doing. Critical reflection on process, thus understood, is informed by “resonances.”
That is partially how the concept of resonance became so important to Volume 2 of "Radiographies". Below is a journal annotation.
"Aest-pra" Aesthetic Research Practice
More recently, and for my project "Biographies" I'm moving towards to Astrid Heiner's proposed model for aesthetic research to due to it's emphasis in intuition, phenomenology, awareness from an auto-ethnographic perspective.
