Tuesday 04 December morning Introduction to key terms related to Arte Útil from ‘Toward a lexicon of Usership’ by Stephen Wright: in this session we will read and discuss some key terms that will help us to find a common ground in retooling the existing conceptual lexicon around usership. We will familiarize with terms such as 1:1 scale, Extraterritorial reciprocity, Hacking, Loopholes, Double Ontology which could be used as tags to categorize the case studies. afternoon What does collaboration mean? Exercise about ‘Do and Don’t’ of Arte Útil: we will approach the topic of collaboration through a series of easy physical exercises. Participants working in groups should speculate about the best practices around Arte Útil and/or socially engaged art and present their scenarios. We will conclude the session talking about the side effects and we will read some part of Marina Garces ‘Honesty with the real’ and Medina, Saviotti ‘Broadcasting the archive in Barcelona: Analysing the Side effects of Arte Útil projects’.
