摘要：In 2007, I spent eight weeks in Residency at the Architectural Body ResearchFoundation (Houston Street, NY, NY) with Arakawa and Madeline Gins. Inaddition to discussing current projects, meeting researcher practitioners andstudents who would come by the office or talking to people on the phone whohad just written or done something of interest, reviewing texts and discussingpressing ideas, Madeline had started work on an Encyclopaedia of Mistakesprompted by the Mistakes on Purpose Procedure. Every afternoon we wouldspend three hours or more at the end of the day working on the spectrum andplacement of mistakes on the spectrum, lists of mistakes and refinement of whatthe role of mistakes might be across the organism-person-surround and thepotential for perceptual knowing. As the work is an unfinished 31 pagemanuscript, I will not cite it directly but rather speak about it and the thinkingprocess that went into the many many versions and amendments that weproduced in February and March of 2007.
