Deliverables
• Research plan : experimental questions, methods, and techniques needed for subsequent research experiments.
Encouraging and enabling development in parallel(independent/TML/Synthesis). Since we need to make time and provide internal/external support in order to continue the work, this approach makes it feasible. It can take the form of mini-proposals as we go along, at times dealing with concurrent aspects of research-creation fitting within min-max rich not complex model/ intentionality vs technical complexity (in general covering anything from reading/writing, design, crafts, perceptual studies, programming, physical computing, lighting and so on..) This can be broken down in form of short-term workshops, longer-term residencies, continuous writing, sustained research creation shared between the labs, and involvement through graduate studies/research proposal.
• Write-ups -- proto-papers
• Documentation: video, print-res stills, web
• Funding proposals
