I was to bring to convey how it is important to me. As well as, bringing it into new constellations and new relations in order to convey how it is important to me.

• Make the sound of the poem louder and clearer as it was probably the strongest part of our soundscape, however, was not very clear because of the other background noises
• The camera was very hi-res, which was consistent throughout the entire video
• I think that the shots were are bit long, which we should defiantly consider when making the next

We drew graphs in class which reflect on: 1. How my understanding of myself has changed, 2. How my understanding of rationality has changed, and 3. How much assumptions or ideas have been productively provoked during the semester.  Looking at this diagram I can definitely say there is a great improvement since the start of semester in all areas which I am now very proud of. I don’t think I really had a ‘a-ha!’ moment in terms of understanding all the theories as I think it was defiantly a gradual understanding that consistently drew clearer to the point where I was finally understanding the theory and reasoning behind our media making.

As Adrian Miles speaks a lot about, learning is a longitudinal process in which will never stop. To the day we die we will always be learning new things and will never really know the answers to anything as everything is so embellished and complex.

My graph clearly reflects the long and constant process of leaning in this studio, which it all thanks to much discussion, but most importantly eventfulness of activity. As Adrian says: to learn, it is active. We can know things, but never really prove them, or see get to know their potential if we are not active.

Keeping in time with other noises,
Blocking out everything else that is going on.

Dribbling at random down the window,
Softly tickling the clear glass,
Filling up the space.

Gradually getting thicker and thicker,
Every slow second.

I am gentle, soft and fragile,
Giving life, and rejuvenation.

Tick, tick, tick, I am crowded and crash into the ground and other things.
As I integrate into other, it is not my ending, and I don’t know when I started to exists,
I don’t even know when I will disappear.
Happy as me. Sad as me.
Will I be happy? Will I be sad?
Helpless like me, as I cannot control where and when to fall down as powerfull as I do.
I can affect whole ecologies.
Brave like me, although I don’t know the sense of pain.
Timid like me, although I know nobody can hurt me.
Who am I?
Why call me what I am?
And who are you?

1. Because it is important to consider now, and into the future, the overwhelming nature of relations. For example, considering the world of relations around something like a camera… looking at the camera itself, how the camera was created, how I create the camera, and were the camera may end up in the future. I’ve really learnt how important it is to look into the future of Media practises, equipment, and the media industry in general in order to have a head start in this incredibly competitive industry as others will merely be focused on what is happening now, rather than what will be happening in the future.
2. My next point, is similar to the previous point, as it focuses on my current knowledge of focusing upon the potential of what things can do, rather than what they mean. This allows me to let go what I think what i know, and let objects speak for themselves. For example, really getting to know the potential of what a $1000 camera can do, rather than what I think I know what it does, and working with that. I defiantly underestimate the agency, and power of things, and more importantly what I can teach myself to let things operate in impressive ways.
3. Because the internet and therefore media, is now a mere bubble of intersecting flowing relations, this studio has taught me to realise that, and placed an emphasis on focusing on these intersecting relations rather than the singular discourses, topics, or artefacts etc. Because this studio and had not even really put much thought into these infinite relations which what I think defines everything that media is today.

“To speak of the powers of things themselves, to speak of them as producing effects beyond their status as vehicles for social relations, became the height of naivete.

“The modern reproductive technology of the cinematograph was uniquely responsive to the need for factual sustenance….The camera created a reservoir of human observation in the simplest possible way.”

“Documentary presentations “imply a theory of the events they describe” by virtue of a sophisticated structuring of the profilmic into an overall ensemble Nicholas describes as “mosaic” (each sequence, a semi autonomous, temporally explicit unit in itself, contributing to an overall but non-narrative depiction of the filmed institution).”

“…objectivity- an attitude toward his subject matter which his one-time mentor Alfred Stieglitz termed “brutally direct”- and, with an equal level of insistence, for the free play of the subject self.”

Involves:

1. BEING
2. MOVEMENT

• We need to provide a written description with the film and soundscape. This will enable us to give the film context and ground, give the ground members a trajectory about why I am making the film, and will also give the audience a better understanding of the film and soundscape.
• 1. THING
• 2. EVENT
• 3. IDEA
• (trying to make it concrete that there is not much difference between a thing, a event, and a idea)
• Avoid stories and focus on descriptive detail of what something is
