Abstract

Short film made for Wild Research public event organised by Journal of Media Practice and Education. Event selection peer-reviewed by journal committee.The film was presented as a site-related projection piece at The Revelator wall of death in Glasgow, Scotland. The film explores centrifugal forces through bike lights in a salad spinner. It is shown inside the wall of death created by artist Stephen Skrynka.The film / installation was presented with an artist talk with the following abstract: Isabelle Stengers in her analysis of Alfred North Whitehead's process-relational way of creating philosophy as enabling the 'Free and Wild creation of Concepts'. In the book, she explains the process of making and sharing novel propositions. With Whitehead, everything is a feeling, even an idea. He creates this approach in response to the misplaced concreteness in which truth is ascribed to abstractions. The event of feeling contains both a physical and mental pole. Beyond feeling there is 'bare nothingness'.My young children have been breaking things, throwing things, blowing things, and pushing things. They have been testing the worlds around them and producing concepts in practice in relation to the material events they create. I have been filming them, with my phone, sometimes in slow motion and they have been doing filming a bit too. This is a kind of research work that they are doing to create their ideas in practice. I am doing research with them, about how about how the mobile phone photography can become part of this exploration and wild creation of knowledge. How can wild creativity can be possible when abstractions are used as inputs into the creative event rather than considered as more concrete than the creative event itself. In this case, the wild world of early years physics exploration.
