1. Refine programmatic frame and Performative techniques
The most important thing for me right now is to refine my programmatic frame, in terms of its purpose, functions, and scale. This untraditional ‘blind’ museum is about the collaboration of senses; one’s sense of reality is strengthened and articulated by this constant interaction. A number of questions are raised in the process of reexamining the typology of a museum and rethinking the activities of viewing in a museum.
- What kind of selected artwork will be exhibited in the museum in order to free ourselves from our dependence to vision and start using other senses our bodies have been privileged with?
- Shouldn’t it be more about the space and surfaces? How will people be encouraged to touch and to hear space in order to experience the selected artwork?
- I previously attempted to interpret a set of painting by Umberto Boccioni and created specific spaces for it, so called ‘reversed cognitive mapping’ of space. Is that a good strategy?
These questions needed to be more or less solved before I can move any further. So, the bottom line is to have a solid, or clearer, programmatic frame and also performative techniques.

2. Make a catalogue
As Anthony suggested in the final review last semester, I need to create diagrams or drawings which categorize and prioritize the senses. I have already started last semester but they need to be clearer. What are the priorities in navigating within unknown spaces, or in darkness? Possibly create a ‘blackout’ drawing, prioritizing the experience, priorities in darkness. We prioritize light in art, what if we use blackness/darkness as the medium.
