Digitizing Craft
5.12.23: an affordance occurred to me. I wish I could flip the switch on an Experience Sampling Method gadget,
or a Contextual Activity Sampling System,
that somehow my “constituents of embodied cognition” could be acquired as motor-based mental representations.
while getting my hands on the data
that feels like a lump of cold clay.
As a teenager, I grabbed gigs as a jazz saxophonist.
When Vigilette starts “trading 4s” sometime after 7 minutes, how did the trio work it out, jesters ostensively gesturing? They weren’t speaking, although a lot of face-to-face was going on. That’s the kind of improvised, embodied craftwork I’m traveling towards, while docking at CMLTD.
Das Du ist älter als das Ich
“you” is older than “I”
