Although acutely aware of, perhaps, the inappropriateness of me leaving a comment on this blog, speaking strictly professionally, I truly appreciate the work you are doing here. As someone operating in a field (writing, rhetoric and composition) that focuses on writing through (mostly) pedagogical-based and (often) two-dimensional models, it is refreshing to see investigations of writing that push out from these limitations. The disciplines that you employ (ethnography, visual art, performance and design) in your research have certainly informed my thinking and I find it encouraging that such inter-disciplinary discussions are becoming more and more common in my field.
Best,

p.s. Although a theorist within a Composition/Rhetoric pedagogical model of writing, Kristie S. Fleckenstein is someone I would recommend from my field that is pushing at dimensional limits in much the same way I see you doing—her essay “Bodysigns: A Biorhetoric for Change” or her monograph Embodied Literacies: Imageword and a Poetics of Teaching are two of her signature works that I personally embrace.
