Lets add three more R’s to the three we associate with schooling. Ritual, repetition and performativity are inherent practices within the process of learning and cognition. Our experience of change is inherent in anything we remember. When interacting with a learning model, a student’s space is a vacuum, an extreme focus to the directive; what the model is supposed to illustrate. Many elements become overlooked. To understand a concept, we sacrifice autonomy of an experience. This video piece switches the alter of classroom which normally dawns this subject, with that of the art space.
