• once upon a time, what you knew helped you get a job. Adrian believes that what you don’t know and how you negotiate that matters more.
  • rapid and continual change – your ability to identify and ask about what you don’t know that is fundamental to your success in that environment. The stuff you’re sure about will be wrong in the space of 3 years.
• iPhone invented an entire new area of media practice that we’re still trying to figure out. Vine (let it rest in piece), Instagram.
• what you don’t know is what matters.
• you need to be able to evidence your work. blogs! keep going! it’s a portfolio, evidence of your capacity/capability. document.
• extra-curricular-y stuff
• T-shaped people – breadth x depth.
• the more you know about something, the bigger it gets. Thanks, Bogost.
• there’s a joy in surrendering mastery.
• you need trails. the thicker the trail, the stronger your narrative will be.
• materiality, actors, relationality.
  • everything has a material form – including ideas, ideas don’t come to matter until they become things.

other scribbled notes on the margins of Ingold:

• media trail follows lived experience:
  • 1. photo
  • 2. Instagram
    • the photo is taken first, and the idea to upload comes later
• what are we but “provisional constellation of DNA + some other stuff”. perfect.
• hormones/flu influence us to do things, eg. be more sociable in order to spread the virus
• language: a dance between writer and words.
• what is it to move from ‘occupying’ it to becoming part of the habitat

all good blog post starting points methinks.

PS. song recommendation for the day.
