Hey Guys, Here's my midterm project.
Serendip is an independent site partnering with faculty at multiple colleges and universities around the world. Happy exploring!
Hey Guys, Here's my midterm project.
Since 2017 I have had the privilege of being involved with Steve Fowler’s Poem Brut project. Alongside exhibiting works, I have engaged in performances exploring the interaction of material, sound and semi-ritualistic processes. Originally no conscious intent or theoretical agenda lay behind them - what drove these performances was instinct, affect and an inclination towards uncensored creation.
I’ve been fortunate to be involved with Poem Brut, either as a performer, an artist, an audience member, as a collaborator or as a publisher, since 2017. My Poem Brut commission, which Serendip has generously supported, is a collaboration with artist Patrick Cosgrove.
My Poem Brut commission will consist of an essay and a performance, and each of these will be a ground for exploring genres of speech, customer service, embarrassment, and interruption. Time spent working in customer service (and writing whilst on shift) has alerted me to the variations in speech, the affects specific to such an environment, particularly embarrassment, annoyance and boredom. In service industry jobs, there is a great deal of forced speech; a need to at times speak unnaturally, and at others hold back your words.
Hi everyone,
It is rare that I feel truly connected to an entire class. Thank you for keeping our learning spaces welcoming and constructive whether we were in-person or virtual. I have attached my slides containing my books and will my videos of me reading them below.
Have a great summer and I hope you see you all next semester (fingers crossed)!
Serendip co-founder Paul Grobstein wrote that, ‘both science itself, and the human culture of which it is a part, would benefit from a story of science that encourages wider engagement with and participation in the processes of scientific exploration.’ As a digital ecosystem, it is committed to offering a nonhierarchical environment for collaboration between artists, doctors, scientists, students, teachers, and the general public.

Since 1994, Serendip has been assembling blogs, exhibits, message boards, and syllabuses dedicated to public conversations exploring the implications of science education for society. Serendip was conceived as an interacting and developing system, not unlike a living organism.
Serendip unites a commitment to social justice with history, philosophy, and sociology of science in order to interpret the role science plays within society.
