categories: Ecologies of Noticing, Journal, WIP

  • the first film is about a single thing you have that matters for you

I have to admit that no matter how I wish it wasn’t true, my phone is one of the most important thing in my life. Especially as an international student where you are so far away from family and friends- my phone keeps me connected with my loved ones. How well do I know my phone? not at all! I swear my phone knows me better than I knew it. I’ve decided to list down a list of applications that’s in my phone and see where it leads me. I split the applications to different category 1. Default apps 2.Social 3. Entertainment 4.Lifestyle 5.Travel 6.Finance 7.Others. I was surprised by the number of applications I’ve downloaded to my phone. there’s a total of 132 applications and i don’t use most of them. So I start to highlight the ones that are used frequently and the ones that I used once in awhile. I started off with the idea of understanding my phone but I end up trying to understand the relationship with my phone/ my lifestyle by highlighting the frequently used apps.

 

  • the second film is about one activity and in that activity one key action that you do that matters for you
COOKING- tasting
What makes a good dish?
tasting is important because the final taste are affected by a lot of things- The cook( The cook’s experience) , the ingredients(lack of ingredients, additional ingredients) , the freshness of the ingredient( texture of ingredient) , the method, time, the heat, the quantity, different types of kitchen hardware used ( stainless steal etc.)
different methods of cutting- different knives used- different texture of the ingredient. Ingredient- how fine/coarse affects the final taste
freshness- high demand of fresh produce
meat- high water pollution ( Cowspiracy)
