Shifting Scenes

Monumental shifts in traditional frameworks of thought and theory lead to the creation of new paradigms.  Operating across history, architectural periods, and text our work questions reality and fiction.  The scale moves from the most concrete reality of the existence of a site to the shift in the author’s role in (re)defining the site, to the representation of a fictional narrative through image or text.  Lines connect from the reality-fiction scale to methods of narrative and historical moments.  When these lines intersect a fictional text is generated which operates in the narrative method and time period being traced.  The map then sets up two types of operations, one revealing the placement of interests within the contexts of each other and multi disciplinary practice. The orbs reveal new possibilities through unexpected overlaps and new ways of thinking through a combination of practices.


Within the map, we have cited each of our own resources and how they tie to the overarching theme of the map. Each color notates each thesis within the over all map, red - Lisa Sauve and yellow - Jessica Mattson. This map was created by linking together arguments from two of the thesis. The tracing of history (Jessica) and the style of the narrative (Lisa). At these intersecting links a new mode of narrative is generated as an example how how the thesis might play out. A work in progress...
