='strcls'>*diversity-work='lgc'>: a kind of work in which we learn about the damage we cause, and of how “causes” are understood as “damage”

PRACTICAL='lgc'>:

we want to find out how cri's “filter” ="trms">translates its politics into ="trms"nttrm="metaph,metamorph,metabol,metal">meta="trms">data
and
what happens in linking the ="trms">symbolic space of ="trms">data-model to the (="trms">relational, procedural, emotional) qualities of the rese="trms"nttrm="search">arches of participants

we will work on the block's opening week feedbacks and process them in this diagram='lgc'>:

(this is a maneuver to replace the ="trms">question of ‘strategy’ to ‘topology’, the first act of making quasi-objects)

the ="trms">ontological ="trms">relationships between law and art, who protects who='qstn'>? what protects protection='qstn'>? ='lgc'>='lgc'>--> which ="trms">material discursive practices make the ="trms">ontological boundaries of “protection”='qstn'>?

(="trms">question of) the production of subjectivity (of the judge himself as an active knowing ="trms">agent and the dead-master as the phantasmatic place-holder of meaning)
this is related to='lgc'>: (="trms">question of) ="trms">responsibility and individuality ='lgc'>='lgc'>--> influences and efforts of the work. two ="trms">interesting moments of genesis occurred='lgc'>:
="lstsrd">1- in the court “his work” (Beuys) was mysteriously created
="lstsrd">2- also when Olga got a phone call from the ministry of culture, “her work” was mysteriously created
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> both the court and the phone call are mystic producers of the subjectivity of the artist dead or alive ='lgc'>[='at'>#this needs more investigation='lgc'>]

(="trms">question of) the production of significance and ="trms">difference
look at the speech-acts of the judge in the case of Beuys. which nuances of ="trms">difference are generated, estated, established, and propagated='qstn'>? we can study every syllable of the judge's speech-act. the judge goes from one ="trms">fable to another='lgc'>: ="trms">fables of significance, ="trms">fables of influence, ="trms">fables of impression, etc.

boundary-making practices in our shared struggling ="trms">world
='thdf'>the idea that art “starts” and “stops” somewhere
zeroing the artworks eco="trms">system

when is the moment (or how the moment can be marked) that the judge becomes able to say “OK, I don't know.” or “I am opinionated about this art. Let's bring an expert.”
and beyond that, I am ="trms">wondering, like that judge, when myself standing in front of an artwork (or any work) how i am able to say “I have an opinion, or, I don't know”, “i need expertise in order to look at this”='qstn'>?
