Procedural starting point

The way I described my methods or process in my last funding application was: largely #ethnographic, about #spending_time with people in order to pay #attention to the #stuff_that_happens_in_between what they say and what they do. I also suggested some artistic #collaboration as part of the societal #impact, but I really don't know what that means

What I actually did was / what I usually do is: the project was not funded, but I am still doing the #artistic #collaboration... not sure how that happened? and I'm still working on how to address the #squishiness in between as something that can be #scientifically_observed. Now I'm more interested in how #artistic_observation' works in #complement.

My previous experience between 'academic' and 'artistic' work:

A long time ago, I thought I would be a professional in making films. I miss that sometimes.
