Abstract
In this workshop making was proposed as a speculation on reality, as a nodal activity that might allow us to perceive interactions between objects/things (material, tool, body, language, space), as mesh. ‘Good’ or ‘bad’ judgments of individual contributions were irrelevant; engagement was everything. The difficulty of translating and communicating tacit (if not ‘unknown’) knowledge is a critical element of the research process. As is the difficulty of working under close observation. Is making changed by observation? And how might we know this? The group was split into teams of three, each with three roles: Maker + Writer + Documenter. Each team member performs each role, for one hour. Data generated (image, moving image, text, sound) was collated and a group evaluation held after the doing together symposium. The making, the writing, the documentation and the evaluation, together, constitute the research. As part of the evaluation, the group will decide how best to share the research.

| Note: | 'Doing Together' is a yearly making and sharing practice research symposium organised by Conor Wilson and Natasha Kidd. Throughout the symposium, facilitators – alongside participants – test out ways of doing together in an effort to make their practice-based research explicit, rather than simply describe it. Bringing together the community, 'Doing Together' provides an opportunity to explore and be part of current innovative art, design, cultural and creative research. The symposium celebrates the spaces, people, relationships and creative approaches at Bath Spa University, sharing them beyond the walls of the institution. |
