Scores for Isolation Episode 6: Track and Trace

Some people started cooking more, baking or sewing. Others developed new yoga, fitness and work-out practices. Some kept lockdown diaries, some became active in their neighbourhoods, volunteering or being politically active, made new friendships, relations, alliances… With these new activities and relationalities, what kind of traces are we leaving, what do we document, what will we keep, collect, hold on to and let go of?

Undoubtedly this time of confinement produced new kinds of knowledge, new ways of sharing knowledge, of relating, meeting, organising and teaching: digital ways mostly. Did our modes of sharing and communicating change for the long-run? And what about the old ones: the analogue, the object-related and person-to-person ones, have they been impacted forever?

During this episode we would like to discuss the question: how will we avoid forgetting what this period brought out in us, the realisations, the new experiences of ourselves and of civilization? How will we apply these new practices to the coming time? What will go into repertoires, toolboxes, knowledge banks. What will we keep practicing and how will we Track and Trace?
