During the intensive week, several questions came out regarding different aspects of the research-process.
Some of these were:
– Which are my roles during the research? How can I deal with these roles within the process?
– Which is the role of technology in this research?
-How much technology influences the emotional reactions of the people? How much “freedom” technology gives to “imagination”?Does technology manipulates and alters the “reality”?
-What make “One to One ” to be a performance?
-Where the “honesty” starts and where finishes?
-Do I need the encounters with others in order to collect material for my research?
-Do I try to present something as “real”?
-When the material (video, images, sound, interviews) is manipulated by me (for example through editing), is it still valid as information-material?
Some questions regarding the topic of the research: Crying and Laughter
-How Fenia laughs/cries?
-What makes me cry or laugh?
-What is happening to my belly when I laugh or cry? to my eyes (except the tears)?to my knees?to my ankles? to my toes etc?

-What is a “crying space”?what is a “laughing space?”
