Workshop E at HUMlab, the Glass room *Vocabulaboratories - Manuela Zechner * How do we speak about what we do and what role does self-representation play in our (working) lives? When are words and discourses important to us, and when do we need to escape them? In this 3-hour workshop we will try to share both our poetics and our strategies around representation. We'd like to work on departing from the well trodden paths of our individual and collective professional vocabularies, and instead try to openly speak about the desires and problems that come with representing ourselves and our work to others. This workshop will be held on Thursday as well. -- http://www.eclectictechcarnival.org/node/896 _______________________________________________ Etc-int mailing list Etc-int at eclectictechcarnival.org http://eclectictechcarnival.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/etc-int -- ------------------------------------ "seja realista, deseje o imposs?vel" http://midiatatica.info http://interfaceg2g.org http://dreadsolto.org http://contratv.net ....>>~ ..:: ^jah bless!!^..:: ....<<<
