Experimental, exophonic, ecstatic: map instructions

Abstract

The layout before you is what we call an interactive library. It is composed of a map of concepts that spills out into references. Excerpts of these references are offered outside the map, expanding the map and acting as a bridge between concepts and the participants' reality. The instructions below describe how the map was designed to be used, but each set of participants should feel absolutely welcome to make of the interactive library whatever they want and need at the given time. Instructions / manifesto 1-the map is concentric. Start in the middle. 2-the map is non-linear. You'll come to branches splitting. The map is designed to have a relatively logical and intuitive orientation, and presumes that participants will cover contents from one branch and its subsections before moving on to the next.
