Inviting Sequences 차근차근 시퀀스

✎ to the Proposal Form

Despite all, why do we still teach technology? With so many platforms, bootcamps, prompts, solutions and trends constantly come and go, it is hard to recall a time before education became a part of the waves. Nonetheless, many new media artists teach technology to nurture themselves and share the joy of learning, imagining, and “spinning” new line of pedagogy. However, even in new media artists, teaching practices are frequently considered something supplementary to art practices, often ending up transient and forgotten.

In this call, we look forward to archive such teaching practices in new media art. It is a continuation of the previous project , an interview study about conditions, motivations, and practices of teaching computing classes and workshops in new media art, based on conversations with 18 artist-educators across three continents. For the next chapter, we wish to focus on archiving artifacts developed by new media artists for teaching computing and digital media, as a part of community projects, technical investigations, or pedagogical experiments.

If you are teaching, or taught computing/digital media classes or community/public workshops, please consider submitting to our public archive project . We welcome a piece of syllabus, proposal, or manifesto you have written in the past. Sketches, images, or teaching materials generated during the workshop preparation process are also great. Small communal gatherings, festivals, jokes, records of survival and conflicts are also welcomed. We look forward to meet and learn from each other.

We are looking for your Inviting Sequences!

• What do you mean by Sequences?: We broadly refer to materials, guides, prompts, or designs used in computing workshops/classes. The term "sequences" is used to denote artifacts or devices that guide the participant's work process or induce participant responses in a sequential manner.
• Examples include, but not limited to: websites, slide shows, game rulebooks, maps, models, audio/video, interactive software, discussion materials, flowcharts, sets of questions, recipes, workbooks, card decks, craft kits, syllabi, template schedules, reading lists, etc.

How to participate

✎ Proposal Form

• Please complete the proposal form using the above link by May 6, 2024 (Monday).
• We are looking for works that effectively showcase your pedagogy or philosophy of computing/digital media in a broder sense.

Archival process

• After indexing, the work will be published on a public are.na channel.
• If you wish to translate your work into an interactive web experience, technical support may be available depending on the scale of the web translation process.

Purpose of Archive

• Record: to preserve past teaching practices in new media art.
• Reference: to index pedagogical artifacts for referencing purposes.
• Remix: to encourage the development of new pedagogical practices.
• Research: to map diverse teaching practices in new media art communities.
