for DARK MATTER PLAYGROUP

Initiated by Neven Lochhead

[Updated March 19th]

This Notion webpage will be used to centralise and distribute video presentations, readings, assignment prompts and team reports for the Fabricating Vibe educational platform. The project no longer has definitive deadlines or fixed weekly structures, but rather unfolds at a speed and intensity modulated by those who elect to take it up. This means that participant planning for individual and group study and the choreographing of team responses is untethered from work-week productivity, setting the program's informal and improvisational curriculum in a state of play and negotiation (you can read more about this change here). Further, I want to mention that a 'total' approach to the program need not be taken by participants, in that you may choose to contribute to parts of the program, but not necessarily to all of it. For instance, you can still contribute annotations to readings at a distance but not directly take up the spatially-driven assignments here in Kingston. This logistical and structure shift has been made in response to concerns raised by the group, who like me are navigating a busy, destabilising and precarious moment. To me this has signalled an initial group-driven re-calibration of the learning environment, already adjusting itself to the priorities and capacities of the learners.

Below you can click to different pages to learn more about the learning modules and discursive contexts that this program offers, initiates and calls for. So far, the full content for Module 01 has been uploaded, with content for Module 02 arriving shortly. Remember: while I will be working on produce and uploading these modules in coming weeks, they can be taken up simply when you and your team members are able to play them.
