a PhD practice as research project by Lewis Sykes

Since May ’11 I’ve been experimenting with different approaches to analogue tonoscope design and documenting my approaches,  outputs and conclusions.

I acted on Dr Felicity Colman’s suggestion to develop a personal artistic manifesto that answered the question “Why am I doing this?”

Draft of a paper I was due to present at Understanding VISUAL Music 2011, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, 26-27th August 2011

In a PPR group feedback session shortly after ‘State Of Play…’ I suggested we each write a 500 word post exposition reflection – to be published on the PPR website with a summarising overview.
