This project focuses on the process and performance of three contemporary collective creation groups: Goat Island, Elevator Repair Service, and Nature Theater of Oklahoma. I draw processual and aesthetic connections between collective creation methodologies and the consequences of those methodologies in performance, claiming that processes leave footprints that are ultimately visible to audiences, though their visibility requires new ways of seeing. Taking into account an American genealogy of collective creation, I outline the footprints of method through the images of everyday employment, instances of untrained bodies enacting danced gesture, and the speeds and velocities that characterize the work of these three contemporary groups. Through these aesthetics we can locate evidence of methodological principles that constitute a politics. In the work of Goat Island, Elevator Repair Service, and Nature Theater of Oklahoma, this politics does not play out through the ideological content of performance, but is embedded within collaborative acts of making.

This conference presented spectrum policy researchers and practitioners from industry, academia, and government the opportunity to ask: does the world of spectrum policy use evidence-based processes? Or is spectrum policy still adhering to the cycle of “policy-based evidence-making” as pressure to meet spectrum demand mounts and complex technological challenges proliferate? Panelists and speakers offered a variety of perspectives in answer to these difficult questions, and challenged each other to identify exactly what evidence-based spectrum policy might look like.
