Synchronized Timeline Methodology as seen on December 10th 2023<\/h1>\n

To present my idea of Synchronize Timeline, a way to link a moment of experience into a certain physical moment, I want to present it from two directions. This is a methodological direction that interplays with my idea of co-research<\/a>. I will have to discuss in more detail later about this interplay between the methods, but now I will present you this methodology from two directions.<\/p>\n

The Cycles of Re-Experiencing<\/a> presents my current working theory of how the material of different timelines might be analyzed in practice. I give it in a form of a short story of a fictive co-researcher. They go through the cycles within their re-experiencing process. This is an example of how the process might present itself after a rehearsal session for someone inside the process. See also audio version recording of the same short story if that is helpful to you.<\/p>\n

The second presentation format, section about The Technical Methodology<\/a> describes the technology to create the timelines: mainly the rehearsal recording where I predict more practical challenges. It describes the practical tools through which the re-experienced material will be created and reworked with. It also sets different part of the technical process within the timeline of weekend workshops.<\/p>\n

I have felt that I will need to plan and communicate my co-research project from experiental and experimental directions in order to include others in it. More about this can be foudn on the co-researcher side of the methodology<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Cycles of Re-Experiencing<\/h2>\n

I put a headset on me, and it names the production, rehearsal day and time. Shows me a journey of outside the building first, and then I am teleported to the rehearsal space.<\/p>\n

The First Cycle<\/h3>\n

I am back in the rehearsal room. It feels like a dream of a situation past. Dreams do help us learn from our experiences, to plan for the future, I mention this passing thought out aloud in order to practice vocalizing my thoughts during the watching the recording: like a commentary track! A timestamp starts at 0:00 when the first person enters the room. It was B. The rehearsal day starts as it did before. Past-me also enters and starts talking with B. B is nice. The first cycle<\/strong> is a full cycle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I look at myself moving in the space, listening to the voices and reminiscing what happened, remembering the day before I came to the space. \u201cIt was a cold, misty morning then. We sat on the floor for a while.\u201d I vocalize this. The now-me, I, smiles when the past-me is released to the floor again.<\/p>\n

I see a timestamp highlighted for a moment. This is the moment we are to investigate specifically: the start of the first exercise. When the exercise is in full action the highlight stops. Recording of a full cycle finishes, first cycle that only repeats once. Yes. That is exactly what happened: nothing out of ordinary there. A small break for my brain.<\/p>\n

The recording restarts from the highlighted moment of interest. I vocalize the first thing that comes to the mind. It finishes at the end of the highlight.<\/p>\n

Cycles two to four<\/h3>\n

The second cycle<\/strong> repeats itself again, and I take a moment to think, not saying anything. With the third cycle, I express the coldness of the floor, something about the cold bones taking time to rev up the engine, I remember thinking of.<\/p>\n

Things slow down at the third cycle<\/strong>. The moment is now frozen, or not completely frozen. Half a minute of original time slowed down into a minute. <\/strong>Time to vocalize in more detail, I have been told. There will still be a slower cycle too.<\/p>\n

The moment repeats repeatedly three times. What happens? What do I experience? What did I see, what affects me? I notice a moment of thinking something else. I vocalize that: it was the funny joke I heard before about\u2026 rabbits maybe. Then I concentrate again and continue balancing the space.<\/p>\n

The fourth cycle<\/strong> is about quarter-speed moments<\/strong>. Thirty seconds in two minutes… This time I smile at A\u2019s expression: happy that they were in the room. They have always such a warm presence. I mention that out aloud also: it is something that exists in the space even if I was not aware of it in the moment. Might need to think of that later, thank A for it.<\/p>\n

Returning Cycles<\/h3>\n

The fifth cycles<\/strong> speed up again. We go back to the half-speed<\/strong>. Sixth cycle<\/strong> is the normal speed<\/strong>. Seventh<\/strong> will let me watch the whole recording<\/strong> and comment on that.<\/p>\n

Everything I say is recorded and transcribed later. Wonderful new technology.<\/p>\n

Taking off the headset now.<\/p>\n

It is super-interesting what can be found from what A, B and C said!<\/p>\n

I count down in my head the cycles: 30 second, 60 second, 120 second, 60 seconds and 30 seconds times three makes\u2026 900 seconds of condensed time. Fifteen minutes of random comments from everyone: One full hour from this group four! And naturally my comments during the full rehearsal\u2026 somebody has a lot of listening to do. Happy that it is not my role in this research! Sounds like a lot of work that must be done with care!<\/p>\n

The Technical Methodology<\/h2>\n

To help discuss the physicality of a process, I have chosen to use a 360-film to create a common reality. If what happens in the space is synchronized to everyone\u2019s inner experiences, it becomes easier to understand and discuss the experiences in their complexity and in a context. I will describe more about the human side of the things when presenting the co-research methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The concrete plan of action for the technical research looks as follows.<\/p>\n
