Framework

This situated or embodied cognition is Exemplified through the four E’s: Embodied, Embedded, Extended, and Enacted. It also claimed in 6 ways
1. Situated
2. Time pressured
3. Cognitive work Off-loaded onto the Environment
4. Environment is part of the Cognitive System
5. Cognition is Action driven
6. Off-line cognition is body based
visual research methods:
- Visual images are produced and consumed in multisensory environments; they stand for the multisensory configurations from which they emerge.
- Visual images are not simply visual; they are experienced through multiple and intertwined sensory channels.
- Vision itself is a culturally constructed category, as are sound, smell, taste, and touch.
- Vision involves more than just looking at images, and visual practices need to be situated as part of multisensory perception.

The knowledge of touch and feel that it is gained through the senses from repeated experiences of working with a specific material over time. A translation of material and form by means of gestural action and tacit knowledge.
A dance between theoretical and practical knowledge, in danger of being scientifically reduced to its mechanical aspects, material results, social preconditions, or other contingencies.
When Covid cut off “hands on,” I immediately felt and, through the CMLTD program, am slowly evolving utterances and scribblings about the trauma I experienced then, I currently describe in this way: the inversion of analog-digital craft migration, abruptly to post-digital (and post-human) systems taking priority.
