Reflection – Week 6

Both studios this week focused on, as a group, getting on top of creating things. The aim of this week was to make it clear to all of us what the next assignment is asking us to do. Each member of the group needed a direction to go in for the 100 video task, so that they could begin creating as soon as possible.

Adrian gave a short introduction about the concept of facets to get us thinking about topics we could potentially explore. He discussed how all things have facets that make up what they are. These facets form networks and networks are the main thing we are interested in. This amusingly led into a conversation about whether unicorns and Jedi knights are real but it illustrated the point, that we have grown as a group to now be able to discuss the technicalities or ‘nitty gritty’ of what things are, a skill that had many of us confusingly looking in Adrian’s direction in the first few weeks of this semester.

We heard a number of group member’s ideas for the next assessment and enthusiastically discussed the strengths and weaknesses of their ideas, specifically in relation to the time frame we have. The focus was to have your idea take on one of three categories.  A field guide, letters from or a list. Ultimately after conversations about movement, Melbourne, mice and dogs each of us had either a direction to go in or the beginnings of an idea that we could now go away and think about. This was achieved by all of us figuring out what this assignment would be together, setting the constraints ourselves and working as a group despite it being an individual assessment.
