Notes to self: future work

1. Sign language

People are given scripts or dialogue in different languages. They sign these scripts to each other.


2. Mother/Trail

Setting: park
Mum performs her Tai Chi routine. After a few minutes, I join in behind her and attempt to follow. (*note: possibly attached to each other by loose lengths of string/thread)


3. Dancers/Metronome

Setting: an open square in the city.
All dancers wear headphones hooked up to music. One half is hooked up to the same set, the other half is hooked up to a different set. They dance. The general audience hears no music, only the hard breathing and shuffling of feet. Audience may join in at any time by picking up available headphones.


4. Offerings I

Over a period of a week, give money to each any every busker/street performer you see. Take a picture of them.


5. Offerings II

Over a period of a year, give money or food to each and every beggar/homeless person you meet. Create monthly accounts and chart locations on a map.



6. Offerings III

In a city, take a picture of every image of a ship/sea vessel that you come across. At each site leave an offering of an image of the sea.


7. Code flags

Create a code for the unspoken prompts you find in your own community. Make flags out of silk. Carry out a dialogue from two flagpoles at a far distance to one another by hoisting the signals you have made.
