During this one-week intensive course\u00a0we focused on theoretical and practical production of simulations. The class was\u00a0introduced to and appropriated simulation methods from scientific predictive studies, professional training, and entertainment for artistic use. Each session of the course introduced a type of simulation, included a practical experiment, and worked towards a final production of a simulation by each student which could\u00a0also be collaborative.<\/p>\n

While simulation can invoke ideas of high-technology Haseeb Ahmed and Eirini Sourgiadaki asked students to consider how can language be used as a tool to invoke, suggest, and create imaginative contexts which are then substantiated through material experiences. Can spaces be written? If so in which ways? We introduced excerpts from science fiction and creative non-fiction as examples. “Memory errors” enable people to recall memories of events that we have never happened, things we have never experienced, times we have never lived, places we have never been. This is a primary experience connected to feelings that are then followed by concept formation. It is this emotive capacity in memory that we used in the creation of our simulations in this course.<\/p>\n
