Draft Narrative

1. Looking at You
     a. Create Homebase
        i. Create a note book
        ii. Create a time
        iii. Create a space
    b. Inventory/Benchmark
        i. Body
        ii. Objects
        iii. Code
2. Marks
    a. Aesthetics
        i. What is the SCALE of your mark? (volume)
        ii. What is the SHAPE of your mark? (envelope)
        iii. What makes a LINE? A SHAPE? (phrase)
        iv. What is your marks PIGMENT?
                1. color
                2. alpha
                3. Alternate Mappings (video replacing RGB? Full Color image as a spot "color")
    b. Mechanics
        i. DESCRETE (stamp) or FLOW (Brush)
        ii. Is your mark ADDITATIVE or SUBTRACTIVE
            1. Building or taking away, pre pencils/erasers… edit undo
        iii. Does your mark have a LIFE of ITS OWN?
            1. Changing Data
            2. Local (pin wheel)
            3. Data Scrape
        iv. Patterns
            1. Rules of interaction between elements
            2. Internal Repetition (loops)
3. Media
    a. Aesthetics
       i. What is the TEXTURE of your surface?
       ii. What is the SCALE?
       iii. What is the SHAPE?
       iv. What’s NEGATIVE SPACE
    b. Mechanics
        i. What is the RESISTANCE?
        ii. Is your media ADDITATIVE or SUBTRACTIVE (clay vs. stone)
        iii. Is it the final version (i.e. work on clay, cast in bronze)
4. Defining the Work
    a. How are your marks REMEMBERED? (over time, array playback or immediate, what aspects of it have edit ability, does the canvas remember them or does the tool? How many places can it be at once?)
    b. What’s OPEN what’s CLOSED (What does the view effect, see, manipulate)
    c. What’s needed to *RENDER* the work?
5. Building and Testing the tool
    a. Locating Materials
    b. Issues of Feedback
    c. Trying some simple exercises
