Creating the proto-shop. Manifesto draft 3

0 To spin an urban yarn
1 There are important manual skills within the traditional art school under pressure from digital production techniques
2 These manual art processes are hidden deep in the school
3 The choreography of manual production is invisible and removed from the polished final product
4 The ‘independent’ art school is absorbed into the educational portfolio of the ‘corporate’ university
5 During this assimilation, there will likely be a clash between the ‘dirty’ art school and the ‘clean’ university
6 How is the university without condition defined in this modern corporate system of secondary education?
7 The proto-shop is ‘spun off’ the established institutions to a peripheral space of dirty technical processes and unconditional discussion
8 In this location, the traditional studio system is turned inside-out
9 The quarantine of the digital lab is breached
10 The manual is pushed to the edges to interact and sustain the local industrial heritage
11 The illicit use of digital production is challenged, in order for its true value to be established
12 The digital fortress is established and defended, creating a physical manifestation of the independent space for unconditional discourse
13 The ideal is mixed with the pragmatic
14 The shopfront edge of the new art school is part of the active public space
15 The new art school looks for the next edge to inhabit
