Nicola Smith Response #4
Hello Michael,
I would be happy to assist with getting the audience to tweet at the event. I’m pleased that you like the idea of publishing the emails, although as part of the process all correspondence may not be intelligent or on track. I guess that’s what makes it interesting? or else it could just be seen as a controlled way of marketing the event.
I agree not to publish before we meet. There is still so much to discuss. For example when I blog I just do it for myself and try not the judge it too much. Am I writing as the official 11 11 11 reporter? Is the blog simply a diary from the days activity? Could the blog be open to a number of participants in the project such as the performers, yourself, the documentors, and the audience?
Just putting a few thoughts out there. I am free Wednesday night or Friday morning or lunchtime.
Let me know when you are free
All the best
Nicola

Hello
I don’t think your the 11 11 11 reporter – you are part of something slightky bigger – but you are a very public face of this process – outside the walls of the event –
In away everything produced following 11 11 11 will be edited and made for a web site – your communicating within several bubbles – the ether of the web – the stoic existence of 140 characters – for tweet – not sure it is stoic in general – but the precision of the 140 I really enjoy – one of the processes I am interested in putting into place is that we exchange tools – so you might end up with a camera in your hands – experience filming – how wold your brain and eye edit – would the framing and editing of material be influenced and informed by the writing systems you under go as a blogger –
Text will also be made real – on paper and employed as a process of mapping existence – throughout the space –
Presently I want to leave it as performers performing and fellows documenting – but this is a present structure and is flexible to expand and contract – a structure enables for a fluid interaction with change if not stuck to as a ridged pattern –
We begin and see where t takes us – I am sure some of the artists will engage with a blog or two – but lets see if we can all work together to begin – i was thinking that if we established a blog on something like blogger – 11 11 11 – inremembrance – manchester – would this then feed into your other systems of AN and NWNW – But 11 11 11 – has its own platform dedicated to the event – friday would be good for me – lets keep circulating thinking on emails – developing ideas – we can then meet and ignite some action – get real with the ideas we begin during the week – is it just the time of lunch you have – do you work in the city?
Thanks
michael
