Exercise 1
„Vegetalize“ (or „Insectualize“ ;))
Work in groups outdoors.
- First read Natasha Myers’ text „A Kriya for Cultivating Your Inner Plant“ individually.
- One Person reads relevant part of text (page 2-4) to deepen into the imagination of being a tree
- The rest of the group listens in comfortable pose, closed eyes and open ears
- After the exercise switch roles and repeat (at least once!)
- Together, discuss and sketch a similar text for another organism around you (an insect?)
Upload your text to your group folder on the server and give it a clear name(!):

Exercise 2
„Spatialize“
Work individually
- Read the excerpt from Perec’s „Träume von Räumen“
- Redo the exercise in a local environment of your choice
- Adapt his exercise to contemporary positions we heard of yesterday (of course it is not a text for men only who judge the beauty of women! And the notion of space has emerged)
- Follow the rough outline of the observations and add as many as needed
- Write a short text about your observations and add a personal sketch of the place, dynamics, routines, rhythms, etc..
- Think about which non-present factors structure and influence the space physically and in your mind (digital technologies?) and add it to your description
- Work it out in as much detail as you can!
