Lichen - RESEARCH TIMELINE & QUESTIONS - Matthew Sergeant

Lichen (2016) was commissioned by ELISION Ensemble (Australia) with funds generously supplied by the RMIT Gallery, Melbourne. The piece was premiered at RMIT Storey Hall, Melbourne Australia on 21st September 2016 by Daryl Buckley (solo electric lap-steel guitar). The research content of the work explores philosopher Karen Barad's notion of 'intra-action' - [t]hat is, in contrast to the usual ‘interaction,’ which assumes that there are separate individual agencies that precede their interaction, the notion of intra-action recognizes that distinct agencies do not precede, but rather emerge through, their intra-action.’ (Barad 2007: 33) - as a compositional space of operation.This document presents the RESEARCH TIMELINE & RESEARCH QUESTIONS for the project.

李钦（2016）受澳大利亚ELISION Ensemble委托，并由墨尔本RMIT美术馆慷慨资助创作。该作品于2016年9月21日在澳大利亚墨尔本RMIT Storey Hall首演，由Daryl Buckley（独奏电钢吉他）演奏。作品的研究内容探讨了哲学家凯伦·巴德关于'内在互动'（Intra-action）的观念——即与通常的'互动'观念相对，后者假定存在先于互动的独立个体代理，而'内在互动'观念则认识到，不同的代理并非先于互动而存在，而是在互动过程中产生。（巴德，2007：33）——将其作为创作的空间维度。本文件呈现了项目的科研时间表与研究问题。
