"46 Tenses" explores the past, present and future of Fort Point through interviews, performances and expeditions with residents and visitors.Your responses to this questionnaire will be part of the Institute's archive during this project and will be exhibited on-site at our mobile Institute. These questions focus on the past and the present of Fort Point. We will use your responses to create guidebooks that will ask visitors to investigate the future of Fort Point. These investigations will be in the form of performances, tours, expeditions and experiments.******************To Keep in Mind******************When you are answering the questions below please keep in mind the following:1) The Institute for Infinitely Small Things is more interested in minute, specific, infinitely small things that have happened or are currently happening as opposed to themes or abstract concepts.2) For example, for this question "Describe a person, place or thing that returned to Fort Point". We would be more interested in your discussion of a stray dog at a particular time and place than discussing how "neighborliness" has returned over the past five years.3) You only have to answer 5 - 10 questions. Please be as specific and as detailed as possible in your responses.Thank you very much for your participation - it is invaluable to our project!Sincerely,iKatun & The Institute for Infinitely Small Things www.infinitelysmallthings.net ________________________________________________________ INTERVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE//To BEGIN//*Describe a person, place or thing that began in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that begins in Fort Point//To BREAK//*Describe a person, place or thing that broke in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that is breaking in Fort Point//To CONTINUE//*Describe a person, place or thing that continued in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that continues in Fort Point//To CROSS//*Describe a person, place or thing that crossed Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that crosses Fort Point//To EAT//*Describe a person, place or thing that was eaten in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that eats in Fort Point//To END//*Describe a person, place or thing that ended in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that is ending in Fort Point//To ENTER//*Describe a person, place or thing that entered Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that enters Fort Point//To FAIL//*Describe a person, place or thing that failed in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that fails in Fort Point//To FLUCTUATE//*Describe a thing that fluctuated in Fort Point*Describe a thing that fluctuates in Fort Point//To HEAR//*Describe a person, place or thing that heard in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that hears in Fort Point//To HIDE//*Describe a person, place or thing that was hidden in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that hides in Fort Point//To INVITE//*Describe a person, place or thing that was invited to Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that invites to Fort Point//To MEASURE//*Describe a person, place or thing that was measured in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that measures in Fort Point//To MEET//*Describe a person, place or thing that met in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that meets in Fort Point//To LEAVE//*Describe a person, place or thing that left Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that is leaving Fort Point//To OPEN//*Describe a person, place or thing that opened in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that opens in Fort Point//To PERSIST//*Describe a person, place or thing that persisted in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that persists in Fort Point//To QUESTION//*Describe a person, place or thing that was questioned in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that is questioned in Fort Point//To REPLACE//*Describe a thing that was replaced in Fort Point*Describe a thing that replaces in Fort Point//To RETURN//*Describe a person, place or thing that returned to Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that is returning to Fort Point//To SUCCEED//*Describe a person, place or thing that succeeded in Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that succeeds in Fort Point//To VISIT//*Described a person, place or thing that visited Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that visits Fort Point//To WANT//*Describe a person, place or thing that wanted Fort Point*Describe a person, place or thing that wants Fort Point_____________________________________________http://www.iKatun.com
