Of Suitcases, Playful Triggers and Other Stories - Enabling Collaborative and Creative Practices in Post-Disciplinary Worlds

Presenter:  Daria Loi

Artistically crafted novels, poems, films paintings, and photography have the capacity to awaken us from our stock responses…(Eisner, 1995: 2)

Drawing from experiences using Playful Triggers (Loi 2005; 2006; 2007), this session will allow participants to "play" with a thesis-as-suitcase to unfold the interventionist roles of "odd experiences" and "anomalous artifacts" in generating collaborative and creative practices.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the interventionist roles of odd experiences & anomalous artifacts;
2. Explain the notion of postdisciplinarity;
3. Integrate odd experiences and anomalous artifacts in your practice; and
4. Play with and potentially integrate Playful Triggers in your practice.
