Abstract
Sick of looking at yourself in the Zoom? Look at us instead. i-PALettes is a virtual performance that converts the structure of both academic and cosmetic tutorials.
In this co-creative virtual workshop, participants will weaponize Zoom’s live polling features to sculpt the new face of scholarly reviewing practice. We ask you, esteemed scholars, how to apply cosmetics upon the surface of a mobile research lab: a doctoral researcher’s face. Welding the magic synchronous collaboration to the rigor of scholarly review (by popular vote), this performance is designed to activate participants as authors, reviewers, collaborators, and aspirational academic influencers in the multisided marketplace of platformed ideas.
A blindfolded “Creator” faces off against two-(f)actor authentication: “Platform-1” and “Platform-2”, who hold keys to the blackbox of reviewer data feedback. Viewers will face questions such as “Where does platform studies belong?” and “Is a method a cave, a community, or a chisel?” Which foundation flatters my theory framework? Does green eyeshadow on the cheek match my methodology? Such questions loop into an answer key which only The Platforms know.
Witness in live time how your cross-disciplinary data inputs are directly applied and contoured. Thus, input carefully: your Review 2 tendencies may result in some smokey eye undertones and scholarly dialogues between creator, editor and reviewer that you aren’t ready to see. Our pores (and H-indexes) are in your mousepads.
