(The Playground) #1

FICTION, BY DEFINITION, IS AN UNREAL, INVENTED STORY,


ASSOCIATED WITH LITERATURE; BUT NOWADAYS FICTION


IS NOT JUST STORYTELLING ANYMORE, RATHER ACTUAL


EXPERIENCES IN THE WORLD, THE BE-ING IN THE WORLD,


FICTION FLOATS WITHIN EVENTS, VOICES, STRUCTURES,


PROCESSES, AND OBJECTS. FICTION IS THE ENFOLDING OF


MATTER AND MEANING, AND THE BLENDING OF REALITIES


THAT EXIST OR POSSIBLY, NOT.


WE ARE INTERESTED IN USING FICTION AS A METHOD


TO CREATE, VISUALISE AND TAP INTO ALTERNATIVE


IMAGINARIES WITH 3 GOALS IN MIND: SITUATE, SHAPE,


AND SHIFT. WE WILL USE CARTOGRAPHIES AS THE TOOL


TO REACH THESE GOALS. WE WISH TO OPPOSE THE


SYSTEMATIC LINEARITY OF LEARNING AND BEING IN THE


WORLD, BY EMBRACING THE WEBBY, MESSY, CARTOGRAPHY


INSTEAD. CARTOGRAPHIES CAN BE A BASIS FOR SITUATING


OURSELVES, UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURES IN A DIFFERENT


WAY, AND UNPACKING THE LAYERS BY CREATING NEW ONES.
