November 2018 [previous matters should not be mentioned here]:
Inquiry relating the contribution of a component for "The Dynamic Archive" [TDA] through its initiators.
December 2018:
First thoughts and researches about a potential handling with a TDA-component based on earlier Works and with references to the experimental field of "Narrative Gestaltung/Gestaltete Narration" [NG/GN - engl. "Narrative Design/Designed Narratives"].
February/March 2019:
First meeting Irena Kukrić about the TDA-component, exchange about views and deeper explanations about the project. Diffusive approach: graphic and text
Deeper thoughts and researches about a potential handling with a TDA-component based on earlier Works and with references to the experimental field of "Narrative Gestaltung/Gestaltete Narration" [engl. "Narrative Design/Designed Narratives"].
Distancing from text & grafic idea, developing the "The Narrchive"-concept [TN], a narrativ-designed Wiki - production of a initial text.
Presentation of the TN-concept to TDA-initiators Kukrić and Andrea Sick. Difficulties about potential technical and contentual overlaping with TDA-concept.
April 2019:
Additional and explaining meeting about those difficulties with Andrea Sick. Deleting respectively shifting of TN and rephrasing the TN-text to a more general, narrative[-designed] text about NG/GN [+ probable wall chart]:

Through my so far experiments and research results arises the following principle:
Is narration just folly? Is fiction the opposite of the fact?
Where is the line between antic/farce and an idea? Between charlatans and posthumous geniuses? Is it not the duty of rascals and harlequins to question and comment the status quo? Aren't the jesters the only instance at a court, that hold up a mirror to the prevalence(d)? To motivate others to think about? Did they fail with it? Does a designed-narrative collapse exist?
What remains of an object/a circumstance? A "Moritat" is sung, it changes and resembles, it blurs and distances, till it will be heard and will (never) be sung again. The object/the circumstance turns into mythos and the mythos into an object/circumstance - and it'll turn to daily routine again.
The narrative design/designed narrative is dynamic, perspectively, meta(morphic), it is (im)material and unsteady. It rises and falls, it has no end, because even in its end it tells us about its loss or its inobservance.
"Das Moritat" is part of a continual experiment about narrative structures, mechanics and habits, in reality and in grotesque.
The Sepurim (the story/stories) evolves in the halqa (circle of participators).
The Halqa as (im)material legacy of humankind.
The halqa is open now, also these "Guideline" is a part of it. The room of ideas between reality and grotesque will be shiftet, there is only the coercion/rule of documentation.
In addition a wall chart and its single usable components. Both - written and spoken principle and wall chart - illustrate in a compromised way the projection of the so called narrative Design or designed Narratives in Interpretation of mainly Szymiczek, Danielewski, de Vries, Berghausen, Bradshaw, Castiglione and Charzinski.
The experiences of the narrative Design (ff.) so far let us expect now, that some components of the formal data and text passages, wall chart and of the written and spoken principle, will untie, shift/morph, comment and delete themselves, by the circle of participants.
Single terms and chartsegments are going to be interpretated, translated and speculated about, as well as the whole sequence. But also episodes of non-attention, incomprehension/reluctance, alienation or mockery can't be excluted or is even propable.
A satisfaction or congruence with the component respectively a reference to NG/GN as my favourite workstyle would not adjust. Because of that I disassembled my component-text into subcomponents.
Through that research I noticed a strong, presumably unconscious reference to a episode from December 2018. Before that I held my lecture "The Urigin of UR" [UR] about/with the eponymous work "UR". Through the documentation of it in the internet the host of a podcast about "narrative theory" contacted me and asked me for an interview. So in the middle of December we've met and done the interview about me and my working methods.
I had not a really good feeling during the recording about it. So I was not very surprised when the host was calling me shortly before Christmas. She told me she that she won't publish the interview, because she thought it was not good enough and too vague. But nevertheless I was a little disappointed about it, but forgot the interview during the following months.
But - like I mentioned before - in April I noticed a certain congruence between my modified TDA-component text and some passages of the interview. Because of that - shortly told - I decided to divide my component into subcomponents and add the interview as one of them to the text, as some kind of sidekick or opposite position. [sorry, just available in German, maybe someone will transcript it.]
The host of the podcast kindly hand over the raw-data record, with the edition that she or her podcast won't be named, because she still questions its valence. So I cut out her questions, comments etc. and shortend the time between the answers. After wall I added a DIN A2 poster wall chart to the interview, that illustrates the current status of the Narrative Design. But the important thing about the interview itself, I think, is my call at the end of it. [About minute 33:30]
the interview
Additional to that I want to call for it again, here in the "Dynamic Archive" or respectively want to indicate, that something will happen with that - form is motion. And I think the TDA is a first step into that direction, because I knew my component "About the current Status of the Narrative Design/Designed Narratives" in a good place.
In this sense - thanks to the organizers.
