¶        Planning our workshop for TAM

    * what's the context for this workshop?
    * what is our approach?

* early thoughts on 
    * Bio materials / bacteria? 
    * Kombucha? 
    
    * what's local? 
    :
        * Flowerfence Poinciana (good for DSSC electricity gen) 蛺蝶花
        * Rami 苧麻
        * lihang 
        * Paper Mulberry. 構樹

    * what do they use? and what for?
    :
        * Rami you might already know it, the main material for all their textiles.
        * lihang is useless?
        * Paper Mulberry is for making paper, clothes, lamp cap, it's very typical plant for their early industry. (like the garment below)

* location related... 
    * what is there: 
        * We will have one visiting on our dayoff for Zuao Yeh Dyeing Studio 卓也小屋
    * where is it
https://goo.gl/maps/7aEw49jCJEk


* scientific approach seem unrealistic being no biologists
    * emphasize put on the story telling (art/design) and the social 
    * narrative, local life, rituals, beliefs... 

* inspirational projects:
    
    * the Human Nature from Mika and Hannah at Pifcamp 2017, documented by Kobakant
    (...)
    
        * exploring rituals
            * 祖靈祭 on the 15th, this is a day for Atayal to memeorize their ancestors, there's no big ceremony or fireworks, just will go to the tumb quietly, we will participate to it a little bit as guest on that day

* Nomadic Fabric motto for TAM 2018
    * Studio practice in the wild
    * Hands-on exchange, collaborations on site

¶        Idea of a bio-swatchbook 

to discuss further: format, content, contribution, distribution

¶        Bio Swatchbook 

    * Collection // Archive // Tool // Documentary... what is it conceptually?
    * Samples of materials // Swatches (done before camp) // Site production // Stories... 

        * Biological Identity 
        * not only scientific but also cultural (exploitation, use, legends, personal stories...)

        * Cyber bio 
        * alive coding protocol of the plants

* TO DO:
    * inspirational thoughts, visuals, formats...
    * define the conceptual framework!

¶        ATAYAL tribe

    * Weavers and fiber artists 
    * + extra studios in the area and indigo dye (day off potential visit)
    
(Is their migration along the river connected to plants??)

¶        Projects - first thoughts

* Greenhouse... ''plant zoo''...
* ''Nomadic plant'' >> 'plants don't move!!'
    * see here
* Plant communication
    * 'underground plant-to-plant interactions' >> chemical signals throught the soil
    * touch sensitive leaves >> growth pattern of the plant accordingly adjusted..

¶        The bigger picture on Summercamp 

* how the project is going to spread, Asia connections
* Europe + Asia + US, already three groups that mix and meet > identities, directions, what's the common ground / what are the differences (to reflect)
* cultural exchange
* human relation to plants // plant communication
* draw inspirational solutions from the tribes for the problems of the future... to reformulate, deepen, question...

¶    * morning: walk for plants (ramie + paper mulberry)
    
    * 4 groups rotation every 20min to follow the steps for a circular use of the whole plant/ no waste:
    * put on gloves!!!
        * 1_ harvest:
            * cut the full ramie as close as possible to the ground 
        * 2_ leaves for chicken food (biological research = high on proteins):
            * remove leaves by hand on top of the tarp 
            * proceed from top to bottom in one gesture
        * 3_ fermentation:
            * cut the leaves in half minimum 
            * let out the stems for fibers
            * spray carbon fertilizer/ (brown suger + sweet coen) on each leaf in buckets
            * mix and transfer to plastic bag where it's sealed with a bit of oxygen
            * let for about two months to fermentation
        *4_ fibers peeling:
            * machine to remove hard parts and reveal the fibers
            
            

  
    

¶    * mid-day: with giu's kombucha / to grow for Tuesday's workshop:
            
        * usual feeding mix = green tea + white sugar + brown vinegar (local)
        * add some of the farmers fertilizer 
        * add some sweet water (brown sugar) from the soup 
    
    

¶    * afternoon: 2 workshops on Atayal culture 
    
    * foreword:
    
    over the next days we will be presented 3 different approaches to understand the process of migration/ nomadism in tribe worlds
        1/ how weaver have used patterns 
        2/ traditional migration photographs and videos (visual perspective)
        3/ song (that we'll bring back to our home countries) [talk will be given by an art student]
            (Song as a way to record information ( ie harvest ramie))
            
    Yuma has invited 3 persons to talk about Atayal migration)
    
   * process of migration, given by Yuma
   
by the end of this presentation Jessica -who live translated- made a point on the term "migration" to be understood as "nomad"
   
       * a note to us:
    " [You/We] come from far and will leave traces of our presence // also a type of migration/nomadic experience "


        * Fabric and weaving as a mean to understand the process of migration / 
:
    
    * "Reappearance of Atayal" 
    :
        * book on the process of reconstruction and recovering Atayal patterns and textiles that started in 2007
        * pieces of woven textiles were used from different tribes instead of a shared sense of how a garment is made and it became very messy and complicated tomsortmput influences and origines
        * knowledge was forgotten and lost
            * over 10 years they collected clothes from Atayal all over the world in museums 
            (Germany & England & national archives in Netherlands & Japan & national museum in USA)
            * since 16th and 17th centuries these textiles were gone from Atayal grounds
        > also a role of migration
        > question of when they can come back also interesting
        
    * common shared language over the Pacific ocean 
        * sharing of textiles as well over the same area
            * Claire, Afroditi, Ya-ling and Chiufen worked on the head piece at TAM17 
        > this tradition was gone for the so long that even local people didn't think it came from Taiwan
            
    * process of recovering ancestral culture going on for 25 years
    
    * Atayal tribes 
    :
        * non homogenous groups spread in the Northern part of Taiwan
            * more than 20 indigenous groups in Taiwan
            * every branch of the river as different people with different textile styles
            * settlements and nomadism process of migration understandable when revisiting those different textiles 
        * in order to re-find which pattern and shape belonged to which river/valley settlement
            * process of categorization :
                * shape
                * colours
                * organisation of patterns
                * techniques used for the piece of clothing /garment itself
            * went back to potential places of origin and interviews elders to figure of they had memories (over 10 uears)
            * sorting following 8 different kinds:
            
    * Atayal from the mountains (NAME???)
        * traditional wedding clothes in Europe have similar style to Atayal ones ??? She'll show us what she thinks of
        * shells for jewellery (need bracelets) // no tradition for mountain tribe without access to theocean 
        * the knowledge of bead bracelets has been lost in Taiwan:
            * techniques
            * sort of meaning 
            * use of the bracelets as currency, payment of debts...
            * weight .2g 
            the research group took a trip to Solomon Islands where they have a rich tradition of bead bracelets to retrace back what was one day in Taiwan

    * other Atayal tribe (further North) (NAME???)
        * mountains close to the ocean
        * different colours and patterns
        * their clothing tells the story of migration from their origin place to where they are now

    * 100 years ago :
        * head-hunting tribe
        * hair used in clothing

    * other Atayal tribe who followed the river (NAME???)
        * again different patterns and colours
        
        > this distinguished the different branches of the river
        > tribe of weavers 
        > different areas = different colours, patterns, textures
        
    * Matayal tribe, located near the original mountain of the centre of Taiwan
    * Malikuowan tribe, another central area group
    * Truku tribe, close to the NE part of Taiwan
    * Wushe tribe
    * Mukua 
    
    ******* replace migration by nomadic!!!!
    
    
    
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ try on traditional Atayal clothes _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 
    
    
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ circle discussion (1/2) _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 
    
    
    Yuma s relationship to migration/ nomadism :
        * spinning 
        * 

    Weis ideas on Mobile residency:
        * relationship between tribes and electronics/ technology 
        * organisational relationship between tribes and tech 
        * source of tribal networks lyes in the traditional ways of living of the tribes 
            + biotechnology to develop new ways of living 
        * getting to know the area where it takes place.
            mobile residency will move on to a next place and makes connections to its new surroundings


    Chiahs addition
        * threading together different places
        * own identity related to the place where the mobile residency takes place 
        * communication and identity can relate to the use of materials or the involvement of different materials 
        * sort of communication happens with the work of weaving 
        * etextiles / wearable tech will be able to represent an idea of communication and identity
        
    Aniela asks about Shilin village and its tribe // different location than TAM17
        * different village on the same river system
        * ceremony a bit different but still same customs instead of a total change of culture 
    
    
    What exactly is "migration" / nomadic ?
    Why and for what reason ?
    
    " All of us is a sort of nomad /"migrant" here, coming from far away that will let a trace of their presence "
    As well as bring something with us
    > for Yuma this is the reason of her involvment in preserving an already once forgotten culture 
    > hope that the life span of the culture is extended by living elsewhere and not be lost again & forever
    
   " We're together like the fermentation process in the bag
    To become the nutritient of the world
    Work hard to make it happen! "
    
    Anielas
        * not only us but the work that we do is nomadic too  

    Weis
        * traditional clothes to modern
        * system to benefit the local
        ( refering to Tincuta - incorporation or using traditional ways of living)
            > don't bring capitalism to traditional societies but make it the other way around! 
            > draw from traditional ways of living to shape new system of living for contemporary society
        * complications arise when both systems meet
            * traditional network of tribes 
            * capitalist vs traditional societies 
                * intellectual property is a capitalist concept as individualist gain and ownership
                * knowledge in tribes is a collective
            > pb in valuying indigenous knowledge and practices 
                
            * ancestral knowledge Atayal traditional "gaga"
            * exchange of resources
                * as considered that needs of two people aren't exactly the same 
            - exchange a sword for food -
            + distance to cover before meeting the next tribe and get food
            > collective understanding of the value and efforts
                > collective existence and survival 
                + emotional exchange/ not only economical
                
                
        * Open source tribal influences and elements in contemporary societies 
            But those elements are not always surviving properly after their implementation
            
        * Mobile residency concept/ framework:
            * elements of this area 
                * understanding of tribal lifestyle in regards to contemporary communities elsewhere 
                    
    Giulia:             
        * Women value in the tribe by skills such as weaving :
            * beneficial for outside only or can it be empowering for inside / the tribe?
                > originally the reconstruction work was intended for local benefit 
                > knowing themselves as tribe and recovering their ancestral techniques
                    * empowerment for tribe people
                    * way to increase the role of women in the tribe
            * in 2010 large exhibition with Atayal woven works
                * young and old generations mixed 
                * get appreciation and understanding from younger (wedding ceremony)
                > started small to become larger and extend further
        
        
        
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Framework for the discussion _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 
    
    * microphone is too formal? Makes it too formal?
    * How to involve everyone? Translation concerns (English and Mandarin)
            
    * Introducing pad documentation 
        * there's no mandarin on it
            * the importance of bringing artists from tribe starting point ...

    * Question of common ground for tribe/crafts and visitors/artists (???)
        * some things one side some the other ? Why?
        * what overlaps are already there from the different backgrounds ? Only on the physical objects??
            * language as a need and reason to solve 
            * use the textile and technology to transmit the language as an issue for migration
                > textiles + patterns + materials + technology = language
                > translation as a migration of idea
            
    * Jessica -always live translating- makes a parallel between her task and what we talk about:
        * lost and gain from migration // translation 
        * from idea to material _ materialization 
            * in addition, what one understands from one other may be different from a third one and therefore migrates differently
            * personalization and Localization _ movement and change 
        * "perfect transfer" 
        
        * what is the essence ? What is essential
        * what can be added? At what point is it becoming something different? 
        * what can get lost in this process of transmission /sharing /spreading?

            * intangible inheritage - 2 living national treasures of Taiwan:
                * Yuma for her weaving techniques
                * the father of today's speaker on oral tradition
        * speaker studies with his father (only 5 people study oral tradition in Taiwan)
    
    * Lmuhuw Lmamu  chanted epics (oral history of migration)
        Atayal use of chanting for the history of migration
    
    
    
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ History of Atayals /background precision _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
    
    * Japanese colonization prohibited the oral tradition 
        * restriction of traditional oral epics
            * language and history transmitted through chanted form (language/art)
            * disappeared almost completely
            * tribe was forced to adopt Japanese lifestyle
    * process of democratization in Taiwan started in 1989

    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ introductory video "languages memory" _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
    
    * 400 years ago Atayal original settlement (central mountains) couldn´t sustain the population growth:
        * prays to the ancestors 
        * dreams of weird animals on the forest
        * ground are limited
        * new territory needed
            * ancestors decided of directions 
            * expressed it through apparition in dreams
                * beginning of the process of migration 
                * three brothers and their families are going for exploration
                * and will come back to tell once they found
    
    * 3 brothers: explored 3 areas toward North :
        * 1km Buta towards the Da'am river (where we are now)
        * 1km Yaboh towards a different mountain East
        * 1km Aayan towards Northern coast
        
    * video treats the example of Buta´s migration:
        * Mark the path with knotting the grass
        * song on the path forward
        * place found > should we go find the others ?
        * walked so far, through so many different mountains
        * moved forward and found the designated place by the ancestors ("gae us")
        * at the source of the river 
    
    * back in the original 
    * people form other tribes have removed their traces for the path
    * things have been stolen
    * according to the Gaga they need a ceremony to solve this
    * maybe other tribes are facing the same the population pb
    * the new place will be called Buta because it's his work he made to find it
    * the tribe will depart to Buta and leave their old place
    
    -_-_-_-_-_-_
    
    Chant to thank and welcome attendees of this speech.
    
    * elementary school he used to listen to his grandpa's singing traditional chants
    * later they listened to western music and laughed at traditional chants 
    * 20years ago, after Taiwanese democratisation,
    * his father started to look at records of traditional chants (grandpa's was passed away)
    * realization that history was not only the one taught at school or international bit that Atayal also had one
    * not that they didn't have a history but
    * method of transmission through oral history and slowly disappearing
    * currently 3 to 4 elders know the songs but some are sick and can not sing anymore / 5 students learning them
    * Taiwanese cultural department and government recognised as important this inheritance and suppor
    
    * map of Taiwan to understand the migration 
    
    * song with 4 verses his grand father used to do sing:
        * 1st: not enough food and space, meeting with the elders:
            * initial expedition form the brothers along the middle line of the mountains (towards North) from "Nantao"
            * Kmbuta Northern route
            * Km'ayal Central route
            * Kmyabuh Eastern route
        * 4th is about directions
        
        * on 1st part ,,,,
    * prior to Japanese colonization and uncolonization of Chinese 
    * in the mountains because of hunting, following the rivers
    * flow of water 
    * migration went from upriver to downriver
    * names given by Atayals for different parts of the river (not like official one name for one river):
        * upstream "folded over place" characterisedcharacterised by it's 
        * eastern part ".........
    * Atayal system all over the rivers of the Northern Taiwan 
    (Japanese talked to king of North- Atayal)
    * name kept from when the ancestors gave them
    
    * instructional part of the chants = legitimazation in front of the tribe and their participation 
    
    * splitting clans blood related
    * seeking partner far away
    * don't stand back to back despite not seeing for long
    * siblings drank from the same mother's breast
    * after 4 generations apart they could be able to be partners 
    * Atayal rejects closer relationships before 4 generations (wouldn't be able to be part of the tribe, incestuous relationship)
    * very strong incestuous taboo
    
    
    
    * instructional chant - Buta  (2???)
    
    * 3 characters are the 3 brothers:
        * splitting up towards the river parts
        * don't forget they come from the same origin
        * don't loose your connection despite going a different direction 
        
    * male descendance / men (mlikuy):
        * sacred shoulders baskets used for head hunting (only men could use them)
        * when going to find a wife 
        * be aware of the generation
        * less than 4 generations from the same mother is forbidden
        
    * daughters / women (kneril):
        * when they go to look for partners
        * elders need to be involved in the process of finding partners 
        * to ask for the permission of marriage to another group
        
    * blood relationships as road
    * connection from the mother 
    * everlasting/unlimited/ (tl'uxun) road (tugiy) = tlugiy
    
    * spreading and proliferation of Atayals :
        * warned that they will meet obstacles over the process 
        * keep it going
        
    * conflicts:
        * exchange and share smoke and wine to resolve conflicts
        * "tobacco" in the song as the island was a trade Center during colonization, contacts with Holland and others and exchange even up to the mountains
        
        * 400 years as a start of Taiwan history 
        = when foreigners started to come to Taiwan
        * no recorded history prior to 400years ago 
        * but we can assume that their history as been way older
        
        * wine and smoking are aspects of culture around the world - not specific to Atayals
        
        
        Last part of the chants
        * leaders are not gods nor as sacred as the ancestors
        * when their tongues move they will definitely make some mistakes
        * what the ancestors have left is a knot to not untyeuntye 
        * follow the path of how the next generations should live 
        
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 
    
    
    * role of women in the migration phase:
        * they joined the migrating group and carry stuff
        * can they discuss the place ?
        
    * patriarchal society
    * home and fields were role of women
    * mother and grand mother with children gathered plants 
    * planting seeds and hunting were men tasks
    * migrations done by clans and families to create a new village 
    
    * men were the only one able to do ceremony before important events  (ie open a field, go on a migration)
    * receive guidance from ancestors through dreams
    ie. red means potential injuries and non fitting place 
    ie. many fishes in the river means planting here would give a lot of harvest
    * responsibilities split very specifically - collaborative work together:
        * men:
            * protection of family 
            * connection to / guidance from the ancestors
        * women:
            * weaving (keep a family warm)
            * take care of the field, agricultural 
            * growing children 
    
    
    * interpretation of the chants with emotional expression:
         * is it also passed along
         * does it have to do with muscle memory
         * so many details in the chants 
    
    * migration along rivers following different 
    * elders sing with different tempos and techniques
    * importance put on passing on the content
    
    * 3 forms of chanting:
        * improvisation during an event (marriage...)
        * chanting done between 2 people to figure out what relationship they have 
        * spoken used for seeking marriage or approval for marriage or resolving conflicts 
    * chant or recitation not as music or art expression
    * different singers invited would sing the same chants but dwith different techniques and tempos
    
    * interpretation of the content with emotion?
    * how many chants are there and how many are known now?
    
    1st chant:
    Movement from place of origin to place where 3 brothers split
    20+ minutes and shared among all Atayals
    But next ones are more specific to each group 
    The Da'am river is incomplete
    Another group as its ancestors chants almost complete
    Rest is lost
    
    
    Q3
    * many of Atayal were forced and relocated during Japanese colonization
    * those chants are from back before this period
    
    * as a journalist he went to place of origin of Atayal
        * only groups that migrated have chants on migration
        * at original place where they didn't migrate they have chants about ancestors 
    * last part of migration chant "smoke down by the river"
        * meaning that there was external people by the river, foreigners
        * tracks back the migration to 300/400 years ago, with Taiwan beinfbeing occupied
        
        
    Q4
    * is there a way to sing this late history all the way to today?
    
    * not about one time of migration
    * not only one generation and one type of migration 
        * from one place to the other thethe migration took 200years 
    
    
    Q5
    * communication and places to meet after splitting up in groups ?
    * special p
    
    
* different layers of society organisation:
    * warriors:
        * from different villages
        * gather together in times of conflicts to face together
        * go back to their own clan and village in peace
    * family :
        * internal conflicts
        * blessings and ceremonies
    * between groups:
        * remembering split up family 
        * memories about places 
        *less travel and more memories involved between settlements
        * because of the distance and time spent split apart it happened that recognication was difficult and conflicts could arise  (despite chants recommendations)
        * path is broken / not walked along for very long and grass grew over 
        * thinking of someone not the same as seeing someone
    
    * need for marriage connections that connected the differentdifferent clans and allowed them to communicate 
    

¶    * afternoon: Group Discussion on the theme "Nomadic fabric"

    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ circle discussion (2/2) _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 

    * Theme for this year:
        * opportunity to discuss ideas and reflexions
        * visions for workshops
        * as a framework 
        * but no restrictions

¶    * morning: Paper Mulberry by Ping Ge 
    
    * paper mulberry is one of most common tree in Taiwan:
        * edible 
    
    * Ping Ge :
        * background in interior design
        * since marriage she works home, 3D modelling and design
        * in 2009 met Yuma and started weaving 
        * studio work and educational activities for children
        
    * before weaving technology clothes were made from fur and tree bark :
        * stone beater 
        * archaeological remains of tree bark clothes in more than 40 places in Taiwan
        * ficus harder than paper mulberry
        * antianis - ___ - ____ (names of other trees)
        
    * way of doing tree bark clothes declined
    * 1st researcher during the Japanese colonization:
        * 3 different techniques 
        (...)
    
    * artists works (Chiu-Fen light)
        
    * ceremony before cutting the tree:
        * wine offerings
        * cut brenchs not the trunk 
        * honour the tree
        
    * process:
        *1st: 
            * on dry wood (hard way)
            * hammer / peel the bark / fermentation / hammer / wash / dry = 3times repeat
        * 2nd :
            * cut the brenches - process will be easier if cut in the shades because it contains more water
            * soak
            * peel the outer bark or preserve it (aesthetic)
            * hammer - remove the bark from the wood
            * wash - remove the protein on the surface - use lim to whiten it (optional)
            * dry
            * dye (optional)
            
        * length of the bark can be 4 to 5 times longer after hammering 
        
    * hands-on:
        * try out tools
        * figure which one is good for what
        
    

¶    * afternoon: textile embedded video game by Chanhee
        
    * Korean embroidery 
    * alias for this workshop we'll use French stitches
    
    1/ hand embroidery
    2/ scan to the computer 
    3/ graphic animation for video game
    
    * animation in virtual and performance in physical:
        * player + performer: 
            * video game controllers for audience to play 
            * performers are interacting to the audience
        
    * Korean culture
        * traditional heritage, family forcing women to behave certain ways
        * background of video game is her vagina, brain and mind
        * one enemy has a flower face and Korean dress (her mother)
        * costume as her cells and blood
    
    * hands-on session:
        * embroider the cat face / or own design:
        * lilypad controller on the back
        * Piezo sensor in the front
    * photo
    * import to video game web-based 
    
        * embroidery design
        * test if textile button with velostat can replace our so for the analogy 
    
    *Unfortunately, some of the Lilypad Arduino devices that were purchased for this class turned out to be counterfeits. This only came to my attention while investigating why some devices didn't work for people in the workshop.

For those who didn't get a chance to complete the course in class - the instructions are available online at <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XQDZHVvxX9Yg6fp4VxS3ktHxnNRskKWqVnZq-_ok464/edit#slide=id.g3ce5a751db_0_0> if you'd like to give it a shot.  

Also - this link might be useful to share with camp staff if they might ever use a Lilypad Arduino again: https://www.arduino.cc/

    * keep space shut down and have everybody inside

¶    * morning: Natural dye with the "plant that predicts typhon"
        
    * Shoulang Yam
    * colloid / tannins > causes the dyeing pigments to fix more efficiently in the fabric than numerous other plant dyes
    * deep browns
    * rough and soft sorts give various shades of browns from dark to red 
    
    * Chinese dye 
    * 2 sides different colours (???)
    * impregnation?
    
    * rough dye and cooking dye:

        * grained
        * through fabric filter to collect the powder to dry and store
        (Left over fibers can be used for cooking dye or mixed with bacteria as a fertilizer for plants)
        
    * drawing dye with brush:
        * drawing with tiny brushes (also for details)
        * use of inks and layers to nuance colour intensity and use of larger brushes
