[Dialogue] Can I get arrested for doing an artform conversation?

[Don Hinkelman]

n my mind, John Dewey invented ORID in the 1920's.  And Vygotsky came up with a brilliant theory of how groups construct knowledge/meaning in the 1930's.  I wouldn't be surprised if you could trace the roots of ORID back to some disgruntled discipline of Socrates who developed a grounded method of questioning.

It's a pity that many in the software field construct artificial ownership of ideas in order to monopolize and tax certain standards and behaviors online.  Open source software is growing and replacing that old model of IP.  In the print field, creative commons has great models, and I love the decisions that Doug and the ICA USA have chosen to give full use/reuse for all the ICA digital materials.

I also really like the ICA Canada model that Wayne described, which does not copyright the ideas, but rather the manuals, which took so long to produce and deserve not only attribution, but royalties to the graphic designers and writers who produced those particular works.

Cheers to all, and hope to join the caravan to 4750 Sheridan to work on the archives someday.

Good story. I bet 100 things like that happened – probably more. This methodology didn’t come together in one sitting. It did take place through years of “action research” of that nature. The movie in question was probably “High Noon.”

While Mathews was in Texas he, Lewis and the others  began showing a movie, a western I believe, and started doing a conversation about it. They rented the 16mm film from a company that rented films to schools, churches, etc. In the shipping container was always a sheet of paper with a set of suggested discussion questions. This sheet was usually discarded. At some point someone, probably Joe Pierce, decided to read it and realized that there was more there than met the eye. There was always fouur questions and they always seem to ollow a certain order. Thgereupon, they all sat down and held one of the earliest problem solving units or PSU. What  they  came up with was the artform method of ORID method
