Class Notes

Here are the notes that I took. I am working on getting other students' notes.

Lex Braes_

Piano could be a metaphor
Film too long
Desperate Opposites
Lost Opposites
Suspension of opposite ideas
Strength
Use modern quote
Suspension of opposite ideas of same time
Too many theoretical works

Dave Gilesda_

Got somewhere in the beginning
End was confusing
Imposition of opposites
Program
Ruins is a good place to see it invade space
With a new theoretical program
Doesn’t understand piano
Theater has an absolute program and ruin is waiting for a program
Cut metaphor and develop idea

Marc Shaut_

Empty field > Demo site
Connecting nature of site
Demolition as performance
Play condition of piano and play condition of bus scene
Play as opposed to work
How would a pianist take apart a building?
Typewriter – instruments relative to touch
Work > typewriter
Play > piano
Function > Disfunction

Dave Gilesda_

Research Gordon Matta Clarke
What slightest incision can I make to alter purpose

Dan Buscecu_

Many pieces
Quotes don’t hang together
Relationship of mechanics possibly not there
Symbol of unfunctional object
Interiority is subjective
Placing self outside and just reading meaning
Explained metaphor is not a metaphor
Physical experience of space separates architecture from forms of art
Metaphor of sound of piano, not piano itself

Empty theater to destructive building must connect note to sound
Do not explain film

Marc Schaut_

Leisure boats amongst functional boats in channel in film
Stop hiding behind words
Explain at the fourth grade level
Say less
Edit
Resonation as a word
Serial killers can be identified by the missing letter on the typewriter they use to type the note to the police.
