New year. New classes. New me 🙂 who am i kidding, same old me. Don’t be confused by the apparent pessimistic undertone of that comment; I’m keen to learn, keen to grow, keen to learn about K..Korrseee..korsikiii.. ummm… Look,  my newly acquired knowledge doesn’t require perfect pronunciation, and as such, I will attempt to explain my infantile knowledge of kk.. koorrssii.. oh stuff it:

We go through our high school years being trained to recognise and develop linear story lines and then….BAM let’s flip the entire mechanics of such cause and effect chains and think about a poetic, non-linear delivery of associative yet paradoxically random events. It blows my mind while simultaneously opening a world of possibilities. Sometimes we have unseasoned ideas looping around in our minds. You try to organise these ideas.. to collate them in hope of forming a logical sequence of events. No matter how much you try though… you just can’t seem to create a chronological explanation. So maybe you give up your attempt to make ‘sense’ of these ideas. Try a poetic, perhaps jarred or disruptive portrayal of these crazy ideas.

I’m currently in my tutorial, watching a video that embodies this exact concept. It’s called ‘Experience’. Now, these experiences don’t necessarily have a clear, obviously associated link to each other. The thematic link appears to be this idea of exactly that: Experience. There is no sense of a sequential development of an individuals lifetime. It’s… different. It’s interesting. Although I can’t identify with a ’cause and effect’ linearity I find my connection with the poetic nature of it. The poetry manifests itself in the thematic basis of this video. That’s good enough for me. I feel if a piece of work can engage you in any manner, then it is successful; no matter how different it is. Now, the program Korsokow allows you to create this kind of work, to organise, or rather, disorganise your ideas into a piece of art. It’s mechanisms inhibit the production of a formulaic, linear storyline and encourage you to view your ideas in a different way.

Take a look yourself 🙂
