About The Event
A one-day update of the Groundcourse programme, as designed by Roy Ascott at the Ealing School of Art in London, and Ipswich School of Art, during the 1960s.

The Groundcourse values a syncretic approach to creativity, combining analogue and digital structures and systems, and communication and construction in both physical space and cyberspace.

The Project is about:
personal identity
the multiple self,
flexible mind
group participation
inter-dependence
celebration of difference
creative community
art as organism,
social cybernetics

The Method foregrounds:
process and system
behaviour
questioning pre-conceptions
challenging artistic conventions

The Attitude involves adaptation to:
behavioural constraints
environmental changes
limitation of tools and materials
deadlines
communicative barriers

The Production involves the creation of :
five-person groups
mind-maps (personal model of the human being )
calibrators (indicating required adaptations to changing conditions)
ordered entities (material and conceptual)

The Outcomes augment:
self-realization
inter-personal sensibility
cultural awareness
innovative thought
adaptive skills
social connectivity

关于活动
上世纪六十年代，Roy Ascott在伦敦的Ealing School of Art和Ipswich School of Art，设计了一项艺术教育项目——GROUNDCOURSE。我们这次的活动，就是这个项目的一日浓缩更新版本。

GROUNDCOURSE 倡导了一种多维的创意途径，结合数字模拟、数字架构和数字系统，在物理空间和网络虚拟空间同时建立交流和结构体系。

这项计划是关于：:
个体身份、多重自我、灵活思维、小组参与、互存互立、颂扬差异、创意组织、作为有机组织的艺术、社会控制论

方法：
进程和体系、行为、质疑初步构思、挑战艺术惯例

项目关注以下方面的态度：
行为约束、环境变化、工具和材料的限制性、最后期限、交际障碍

涉及以下产品创造:
五人小组、思维导图（个人化人类模型）、校准 （关于按要求适应条件的变化）、有秩序的体 （材料以及概念上的）

成果将提升：
自我实现、人际感受、文化感知、创新思维、可适应技能、社会联系力

一日浓缩项目
