8oinks

Lets start collaborating! the first theme is: what is collaboration.

show us what collaboration meens to you; what it should be; what it must not be; what collaborates perfectly; what does not need collaboration, split up collaboration structures; create an ideal; what’s the worst case szenario; what are the connections between the collaborators; collaborating colours; shapes; emotions; meanings; and so on.

Draw, write, scratch, photograph, film, sing, dance, cook what comes to your mind and share it with us! Tag: what is collaboration, oink

no idea yet? Mashup! You are welcome to mashup the contributions, at any point of this project. Download the images to: re-arrange them; cut figures out; change the background; draw over; add paint; play a matching song; animate; change; mutate and Re-Upload!

write a few words and tell us what you did; what was important to you; what inspired you; who you mashed-up and your name

In my contribution, i focused on unconscious collaborations, that we all experience in everyday life. The head has a special position in this role play and leaves an impression of beeing able to stand alone. Without constant collaboration and circulation though, there would be neither thought nor movement. ..or was the egg before the chicken?

“An image I’m working on in collaboration with Dario, from flickr. First time I do that kind of project. Very excited about it.”

Execution by hanging first came into my mind when I saw this image but I quickly changed to the topic of execution of individuals by fire, which has a long history as a method of punishment for criminals such as heretics, e.g. Jeanne d’Arc. The video is based on some altered fragments of Le Procès de Jeanne d’Arc (1962) by Robert Bresson and some organized sounds from an human heart beat found in Partners In Rhyme.

P.S. Collaboration implies some collective activity directed towards some common goal. If this is performed individually, common purpose could be thematic or even by free association of other member’s work, and then each individual result of the collective could be fueled, induced in part by others’ work. My (poor) collaboration is based on free association of Shirin’s work. But, is this a collaboration?

i have started to do some mashups, out of our collaboration - contributions, to start playing with the ideas that are already in.

i’ve continued Serbé’s associations of execution in some very rough collages using Benoit’s, Serbé’s and my images, plus old execution-photos found on the web.

Here is my contribution to “what is collaboration”. In my quest for answers, i entered the twisted dungeons of second-life. This massive online world with more inhabitants then many small countries is supposedly at the cutting edge of online collaboration.

I asked around about what collaboration means inside this virtual dungeon community, here´s a good quote:

I explore collaboration as a process by framing it in three phases: problem setting, direction setting, and structuring. During the problem-setting phase stakeholders negotiate their right to participate. Agreement on the problem and what actions and resources are needed to address it are established during the direction setting phase. During the structuring phase, those agreements are implemented by allocating roles, responsibilities, and resources.

Inspired and based on Zack Rathore’s photo’s. After spotting three pics of Zach in a corridor cavorting, seemed to me the imagery was a triptych waiting to happen, Zach’s framing already was very Baconesque. Painted in the spirit of collaboration for 8 oinks! Thanks Zach! Thanks Shirin!

Zach Rathore

I would like to say thanks to Feroze for creating the very fabulous and Bacon-esque interpretation of the above three photos I am so pleased that he did such a fabulous work on this, as at the moment, I am lacking any creativity. So a collaboration by proxy

i had too much coffee this morning and started to do mashups. forgive me zach i used images by feroze, benoit, zach and me and combined them with samim’s idea of 3d landscapes (random google finds). during the last 2 mashups i must have drifted away. bon appétit.
