===== Day 3 Saturday July 22, 2017 =====
**Making It
**\\
Today you are translating theory into practice—making the abstract concrete. You will be producing a selection of artifacts for your proposed curriculum.
  *You are not problem solving. A strategy to resist problem solving: Map the least practical aspect of your curriculum onto a practical artifact. 
  *The artifact should not be an external/objective description of your curriculum. It should come from inside the curriculum. It should be an example of what it is, not a description of what it is.
  *Think of the artifacts(s) that you are making as a critical platform to reveal the implicit value system of your curriculum. How does the artifact give us an understanding of the macro structure and conceptual framework of the curriculum?



**11-5pm Team Work Day**\\
  -Propose 3 artifacts for your curricula. Post to the [[artifact_proposals|Artifact Proposals]] article on the wiki by 12pm. Each subgroup has been assigned an individual meeting time with visiting critics, Roosje Klap, Niels Schrader and Kali Nikitas also listed [[artifact_proposals|here]].
  -Please post your working location along with your proposals so that the facilitators and MFA participants can drop in.
  -Select which artifact(s) to make and make them. All artifacts should be complete by 5pm.
  -Meet back in the Lighting Studio at 5pm.

====== Thus in order to be a "radical" one must be open to the possibility that one's own core assumptions are misconceived —Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian======


===== Day 2 Friday July 21, 2017 =====
**Learning Objectives 2.0
**\\
  -We are not making a smarter version of what's already out there
  -Pursue a line of inquiry beyond the limitations that you already recognize
  -We are not solving problems
  -Do not sacrifice your interests and agenda for consensus. Rehearse pluralism

**Prompt: 11am Team Work Session**\\
  -Each subgroup (Automation, Pluralism, Visual Rhetoric) is now building its own set of artifacts for the larger team.You should not assume that these artifacts have to share a single agenda or speak in a unified voice. They can diverge and still coexist.
  -Designate at least 1 Etherpad note taker per group.
  -Debate and decide on the following: You can only teach 1 concrete thing. What is it and why? Gather the following to support this proposal: At least 10 resources in any medium or format. At least 3 new lexicon terms
  -Prepare a 5-minute presentation of your proposal to the whole group. This presentation can take any form. Discussion to follow. 

**Presentation: 2 pm, Lighting Studio**\\
Guest critics: Roosje Klap and Niels Schrader
