Proposal
Experiment TEEL
Paragraph use?
Clarify “physicality” (relating to the body) / “embodiment” giving form to / “materiality” the quality or character of being material or being composed of matter.
Be consistent.
Look at theoretical and contemporary definitions.
Premise of project: Are rhythm and energy physical to the human experience (change “human experience” see notes below)?
Articulate in a more concise manner.
Use linking words:
Extends to neuroscience … as such/this is related to.
Topic sentence
Quote GM: answer quotes “E-xpaination of the TEEL” — be clear and state explanations.
From this we can conclude that … / it is clear that.
Talk about installation and special aspects in greater detail.
Viewer body – interact with and through the space.
Art unfolding in time.
Music unfolds in time. It’s not static.
I am exploring how photography can unfold in time through installation.
Can installation make the 2 d image unfold in time?
Can a 2 d image be activated and given kinaesthesia through installation?
Richard
The work comes before the theory
Use theory to inform or explain a point for the work
What
Questions are too general.
Create “expand” on question / introduce what I want to investigate.
Scientific theory to expand.
What scientific theory will inform the research project or particular research question?
Think about what the research question is.
Lotto
Reword , “It does activate a sense of colour theory.”
Think about:
How does lotto’s project relate to my project
Does it inform my project?
How has it informed my research.
Use the above to sit along side or align with my research.
Bring footnote (Thaut and Lotto) into body of text as direct quote — thaut and lotto support and substantiate what I am saying.
The hero of the writing is my project.
References and resource materials including theory substantiate and support my project research.
Can also use people to negate or disprove topics.
Informed argument = discussion
Who
EOI is about the next project — write as completely new project.
Needs to have research questions that have general position but have a specificity to them.
Think community, body of knowledge I am interested what is it that I want to prove or disprove.
Think of it as a scientific project in an art space/voice.
Community of practice.
Footnotes
Varga cotton award. Talk to the controversy. What’s the big deal. “winning the award and created a huge fuore because blah blah” <<direct quote from respected highly regarded news paper or magazine>>
Fresh approach
Includes restructuring and renegotiating my research leading in.
Locate the trigger that wanted me to do a PhD on rhythm and energy.
Think about the idea behind the making.
What is the concept of the project.
Talk to the content.
Why is xx being used?
Why are the images being made as xx.
What’s the point of the methods.
The content is the image.
What is the benefit of making an image to the field of neuroscience (brain / rhythm / energy).
General notes
Using tech to express and idea, or express — don’t kill the position of the art.
Think about 3 words that epitomise my current research project.
Hang other things off the three words.
Draft up an expression of interest.
New project springboards off past projects.
New project = can be same topic.
EOI / project proposal = plan = more meaningful = written with authenticity
Do not describe the obvious. Refer closing sentence of Folio Proposal.
PhD project
Write new project proposal specifically for the application, meeting the application guidelines and requirements.
Proposal must not be from masters project writing.
It can be same topic.
Sending request for supervision
PhD EOI requires a prospective candidate to source two supervisors and show the communication. The request must be made formally, sending basic email asking if they would be prepared to be supervisors for my PhD project.
Dear Richard and Steven,
Please accept this email as a formal request for you to be my supervisors should I be successful in my application for a PhD by project in the School of Art..
