“Because it is lo-fi the emphasis is on getting all the steps done and once the work is finished to then think about what it is, and what it does.”
what is my assessment?
a video, an audio track, an object. I think it can be summed up as a depiction of putting the watch as the centre. The watch’s connection to the train it goes on, and the people that look at it. The watch cannot tell or know if it is liked or not. (unlike how we can tell when a dog likes us) The watch’s experiences; being put on, going outside.
Also, other thing’s connection to the watch because they can relate with each other; because they have similar experiences. Like the audio and the visual of the dog – “I could see so much more if she put me on the outside.” The watch wants to see more but view is blocked because it’s on the inside of the wrist. The dog can see outside, but only what’s through that screen door.
What does my assessment do?
for who? for me, I think it helped open my eyes to other connections my objects are having. It helps me understand that things can have similar experiences and be connected that way just like how I am connected to my friends because we went to the same thing together that one time. It helped me notice what was around me more so I could film it or take a picture. (I never noticed that the pedestrian crossing lights flashed one a second or that my neighbour had a dog.) Hopefully it will contribute to a good grade at the end of semester.
for others, perhaps it gives a good laugh. I know some of the watch’s POV angles are unflattering for me. And not to mention my voice. ugh. I frankly don’t know what it does. will it inspire another? will it change the world? hahah who knows!
at least it gives my watch a voice. if only for a minute.
