“Bourriaud’s (2002) concept of relational aesthetics that conceptualizes art practice away from the “self-referentiality of modernist art,” turning instead to the way art-making builds relationships with others and with the world. Bourriaud believes that collaborative art and media making provide a space to explore these relations and our identity as it evolves through them. Here, relations, not media objects, are primary. A collective aesthetic means “our values are embedded in our physical and affective relationship with the world” (Leuthold, 1998, p. 16).” - on arts-based research with indigenous communities -
“if you want to be prolific and not stuck in your head, don’t try to create things from scratch. There’s stuff happening in your head right now. Draw/write from that.” - lost source
“How can I create delight in my writing? In drawing, we use Size and scale, Dark and light, Close and far, Sharp and blurred… If a subject blends in too much with its surroundings, make it stand out through vocabulary, line breaks, bold/italics, kill some words to make snappy sentences… draw out a moment to change the pace. Create tension. Use the full range of the medium, and learn by observing how others do it too.” - lost source

silhouette anonymity

silhouettes obscuring, silhouettes revealing shape
do they actually provide anonymity
shadow and form, hiding detail, resolution
like how in photo licensing you don’t need model releases if subject isn’t identifiable, silhouettes are measured by detail
some people’s silhouettes are more recognisable than others
