The document discusses the interplay between play, innovation, and documentation in various cultural and academic contexts. It emphasizes the significance of capturing experiences and relationships within 'exaptive terrains' through tools and methodologies that foster openness and participation.

- 27. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Some TradeOffs Game vs Playing Demo vs Documentation Openness vs Emancipation
- 28. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Openness vs Emancipation • Centralized Power structures usually terminate (destroy) or recycle (spin) ludic cultures • religious devalorisation/recuperation • political control • socio-cultural normalisation • How to preserve their authenticity and their paradoxical nature ?
- 29. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Game vs Playing • Playing is essential and existential • who's the game master ? do we want one? • can we imagine games that change rules dynamically (nomic - stubber, calvin's ball, bootstrapping - engelbart) • how do we challenge (fight, compete) and dance (seduce, desire, sing) in new ways with plants, machines, animals, people?
- 30. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Demo vs Documentation • Documentation is cognition • document as you create, live-documentation • share and reflect with others plans, mechanisms and playful scripts to gain some collectiveIQ • from notation to annotation (Ackermann) • How to document and share faster, more easily and more efficiently ?
- 32. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Conclusion(s) • Symptomal & Symbolic • Symptomal: Demo, Open • Symbolic: Documentation, Emancipation , Gameplay
- 33. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Conclusion(s) • «esthétique du symptôme» • «Il faudrait donc proposer une phénoménologie, non du seul rapport au monde visible comme milieu empathique, mais du rapport à la signifiance comme structure et travail spécifiques (ce qui suppose une sémiologie). Et pouvoir ainsi proposer une sémiologie, non des seuls dispositifs symboliques, mais encore des événements, ou accidents, ou singularités de l image picturale (ce qui suppose une phénoménologie). Voilà vers quoi tendrait une esthétique du symptôme, c est-à-dire une esthétique des accidents souverains de la peinture» Georges Didi-Huberman Devant l image, 1990 • How to link observable symptoms to symbolic play ?
- 34. CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication Conclusion(s) • Explore collective introspection mechanisms suited for the complexity of the phenomena to be observed --> Digital Studies, Digital Humanities, Interdisciplines • Create tools to assist the documentation and debate in complex innovation cultures --> Research, Start-ups, Individuals (amateurs) • Tinker governance that celebrate playing & emancipation as much as gaming and openness --> Hackerspaces, Clusters, ThinkTanks, Institutions
