…and apparently available only in the UK<\/a> presently. John Marshall and I have a manifesto-y essay towards the end of this.<\/p>\n

\nMarshall and Bleecker, in their essay, propose the term \u201cundisciplinary\u201d for the type of work prevalent in this book. That is, creative practice which straddles ground and relationships between art, architecture, design and technology and where different idioms of distinct and disciplinary practices can be brought together. This is clearly evident in the processes and projects of the practitioners\u2019 work here. Marshall and Bleecker view these kinds of projects and experiences as beyond disciplinary practice resulting in a multitude of disciplines \u201cengaging in a pile-up, a knot of jumbled ideas and perspectives.\u201d To Marshall and Bleecker, \u201cundisciplinarity is as much a way of doing work as it is a departure from ways of doing work.\u201d They claim it is a way of working and an approach to creating and circulating culture that can go its own way, without worrying about working outside of what histories-of-disciplines say is \u201cproper\u201d work. In other words, it is \u201cundisciplined\u201d. In this culture of practice, they continue, one cannot be wrong, nor have practice elders tell you how to do what you want to do and this is a good thing because it means new knowledge is created all at once rather than incremental contributions made to a body of existing knowledge. These new ways of working make necessary new practices, new unexpected processes and projects come to be, almost by definition. This is important because we need more playful and habitable worlds that the old forms of knowledge production are ill-equipped to produce. For Marshall and Bleecker, it is an epistemological shift that offers new ways of fixing the problems the old disciplinary and extra-disciplinary practices created in the first place. The creative practitioners contained within the pages of this book clearly meet the \u201cundisciplinary\u201d criteria suggested by Marshall and Bleecker in that they certainly do not need to be told how or what to do; they do not adhere to conventional disciplinary boundaries nor do they pay heed to procedural steps and rules. However, they know what\u2019s good, and what\u2019s bad and they instinctively know what the boundaries are and where the limits of the disciplines lie.\n<\/div>\n
