Issues discussed/Subject:
Returning to the course:
We discussed the areas I need to complete for the unit1: MPR and the essay. Talked about the use of the blog and around the concept of presenting a professional front and discussed projects that I am currently involved in for the next couple of months. Andy mentioned that a lot can be achieved without necessarily needing to always be out and meeting people face to face.
Essay:
(New deadline for my handing in the essay is now around the 7th December due to having taken the year out.)
Andy discussed ways of planning and constructing the essay with me and mentioned that my essay out line was too broad and needed refining suggested using mind mapping as a tool to get the ball rolling.
Andy also suggested taking one or two practitioners and using them as a focusing tool and suggested Donna Hathaway, Esinman, and Stelarc as reference points around ideas the dematerialized and the materialized and use them to create a focused debate. These are 3 practitioners who I have previously done some research around for this area so I hope that with some thought it will be possible to put forward a focused paper.
We also touched on the issue I am currently having with loss of sound recorded on footage and Andy suggested exporting audio footage and then re importing it.
Comments/Notes:
It was helpful to discuss the essay as my ideas have been very loose and it has been quite hard to marshal them to a focused point. Particularly as having taken a year out has meant that the thread I kept going for the course spiralled out and created several different threads. Putting together the MPR and curating and tagging the blog should provide a good tool for creating an overview and a more focused dialogue.
