Semester 2, Week 12

Open Studios

Publication

(Click to read full publication)

It was a mad rush, but I wanted to have a publication on the table that was able to allow the audience to understand the (initial) research of the project better. As I looked over the content that I had on the table, I felt that what was missing was the research behind:

  • 1. Post-Internet Divination
  • 2. The Black Box Metaphor
  • 3. Context and Findings of the Experiments

Final Setup

Live Reading - Interactions

I was happy I got the chance to finally do my reading with a bunch of people, even ones from the public. It really allowed me to see that I could have a lot more fun when doing it with people who don't know what my project is about.

I manage to have interesting conversations with people about technology and magic, from young to old.

Feedback

This was the initial feedback I got from people, and I think that mainly, I wanted to simplify the message of my setup a little better. For the final presentation, I want to show the interactions all a little more clearly. I also noted that I had interesting conversations with people of differnt beliefs and age groups.

After a final discussion with Andreas, my outcomes for the final presentation would be:

1. 3x Experiments — to refine them and document better.
2. 2x Videos - one for Merlin and one for experiments.
3. Publication – for the heavy stuff to go in.
