DESCRIPTION
An overview of our research about doubt. By Sue van Geijn & Kirsten van der Stelt
Citation preview
the state of doubting
We researched doubt by doubting it.
This is an of how everything can be
something and therefore creating value is a decision you need to carefully consider. All things can be important in this way of not knowing what you are looking for until you find it,and therefore doubt is possibly the most important tool.
The next pages are a guide in the process of doubting. We did not make any assumptions and tried to include all usefull and useless moments. It was not the goal that was important but the way of getting there.
ideaexampleproposition
ullshit is when somebody starts talking about something he has no knowledge about.B
Never make work you do not believe in.
Unless it is bullshit.
We can read the same text and understand something completely different.
Or: The object of reasoning is to find out, from consideration of what we already know, something else which we do not know.
Or: Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into a state of belief.
From: The Fixation of Belief Charles S. Pierce (November 1877)
The irritation of doubt causesa struggle to attain a state of belief.
Everything is connected;
Uselessness and the unexpected can make you doubtYou need doubt to find your belief You need belief for self-actualization
The uselessness becomes usefulThe doubt becomes your beliefYour belief becomes your need for self-actualization
Now I am aware of my doubts
14h39 Shall I call my grandparents now? Granny is ill but I don’t feel like it yet.
14h03 Do I use this ugly blue pen or will I search for a different one?

Why did we put this here?
ME
I just had a coffee with a friend
and could not stop asking myself:
Do I actually want to drink coffee with you?
Would you share your doubts with me?
Am I good enough?
Am I everything I want to be?
Working hard or enjoy?
Does she want to be with me?
What am I doing here?!
Does she like me?

Thoughts need to be privateThoughts are bullshitThoughts are personalThoughts are not the truth
My online searches are my thoughts
When my thoughts are not private, they can be seen as my truthBut the truth is they are my doubts and only a search for my own believe

The web is an extension of the brain, it tells me more than I want to know but now I know.So it is already too late.
We zoom in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in..
Until the little things start to talk,
like the shadow of my kitchencabinet.
Until everything is Aa

I do a lot of ineffective research. ‘Maybe it looks like I’m doing nothing, but I have been really busy.’
Musical object found at home #1
From: Lecture on Nothing John Cage
What I am calling poetry is often called content.
But actually, unlike the snails, we carry our homes within us.
Once I saw a cardinal and at the same day I heard a woodpecker.
Clearly we are beginning to get nowhere.
CHAOSORDER
even order is chaos
When do ideas become actions?
There was too much doubt to choose the best idea.
“I’m not sure if I still want to be a toothbrush”
After a talk with my tutor about my plan to make ‘doubtfull objects’, I was not even sure what an object was anymore.
These are our beliefs so far. But all beliefs are fluid and change over time by experiencing new things (...).
