The Everyday

• it explores in what ways people individualise mass culture through altering things
• these include utilitarian objects, to street plans, to rituals, laws and language, in order to make them their own. 
• social science possesses the ability to study the traditions, language, symbols, art and articles of exchange that make up culture
• Certeau argues, the activity of re-use in everyday situations produces an abundance of opportunities for ordinary people to subvert the rituals and representations that institutions seek to impose upon them
• this picture of people who are non-artists (meaning non-creators and non-producers) passive and heavily subject to received culture
• these tactics can reclaim autonomy from the forces of commerce, politics and culture
• Certeau uses Foucault discapline and punish to make the analogy that procedures of everyday creativity works as any-discipline

Rodchencko's Read Room

• constructivism- to intervene in everyday life, left wing, avant garde and of the workers
• perception routinised - experiment with defamiliarisation to unsettle perception and open practice of seeing
• challenged everyday perception of how fashion/clothing was used
• Rodchencko explored photography - urban spaces
• amongst everyday rituals
• re-uses and functions of the memory
• through authorities that permit everyday practice
• poetic ways of making through familiar practices

Foucault asks how social behaviour develops historically. He asks how we can criticise the hierarchies institutions that operate society. He questions how social order is constructed and shaped into spaces and order.

Language

• ordinary language - slang, text, email
• popular cukture
• experts
• political
• specialised
• not homogenised as organised and signified - all changes in everyday
• it signified activity and our expectations
• relational everyday art practice with language exploits this to question and challenge our operation and systems of the everyday

Making do

• includes bricolage; re-use of cultural products
• an art of making which cannot be disassociated from an art of using

through everyday practices of moving around, seeking information and communicating with others, we are creating new ways of interacting with people, with places, with services and with screens while moving or pausing improvements

New media and making do

• these kinds of mobile artworks that extend outside of the space device in your pocket and into surrounding public space potentially enable people to engage with mediated spatiality and argumentation landscapes in unexpected ways by generating new forms of public experience.
• open-ended interaction
• extends beyond relational aesthetics
• beyond mobile gaming
• re-spatializing and re-medicating our experience of embodied mobility

Typographies

• A type of writing that refers to a system for mapping landscape or the contours that form a place
• the relationship between art and place
• the mapping of invented signs, traces and tracks that are putable

Consumption

• ways of representation through consuming and using which is described as hidden production bu users. this is not merely social media
