I have started to find this task more confusing that I thought it would- I don’t quite understand the difficult to put video/imaging to something that you are not allowed to show. I spent majority of yesterday trying to find images and video that were more metaphors for what I was describing but also had relevance. Im not quite sure if I am on the right track but I feel this task is more of a trial and error to see what works and what doesn’t. It has really made me see how many different ‘things’ and ideas there are I just need to try and fit in the one that works best.
I have become reflecting upon the last studio on Thursday where I feel Adrian made a valid point about Tacit Knowledge e.g. theory. This is something that everybody feels is what you need to be successful in this world. You do school, focussing on maths and english and then hopefully continue on to university, and in order to do well you need to have that theory on easy memory. What he said that really opened up my eyes is those people that can move beyond that. This is something that I feel very passionate about in regards that I believe this is what will make you most successful in life.
Today left me wondering with many questions of the bigger idea. I’ve never actually thought in detail about what has constructed the way we live and how it realistically all came to be. It makes sense that human’s are the centre of everything but also language is what has constructed everything around us. This sort of scares me… it makes me question how it has become the way it is and why it is constructed to not even questioning what is around us… Scary stuff I think.
Another point that was raised today that really opened my mind was “qualities are hard to talk about as things” to me i guess a quality is a describing word or an emotion, but they are things that we believe about ourselves or other people. It is easy to talk about something tangible as things.
