BRAINSTORM

In the extend hiatus between classes (having missed the last week due to assignment commitments) I had noted that my mind and relationship to the subject have been rather absent. Occupying the usual ‘free’ space was the stress and intensity of essay writing – 4000 words for 3 different subjects in 1 week is not conducive to an active and exploratory mind. However upon the completion of this (lets call it) week from hell, I began to reflect on the nature of my interactions with the essays and the readings that supported my claims. I had wondered if the academic writing the papers would ever have contemplated the Object Oriented Ontology of the journal they wrote & further, if it would have ever crossed their mind that it would be used by a student in Australia to formulate an argument.

This line of thinking compelled me to revisit the audio we created for Assignment II & the subsequent piece we received back from the German students. This revisitation of the audio inspired me to listen more to the piece, to hear the ontology of the artefacts in them and to imagine a scene in my mind of the relationally of the composers & listeners. This moment of reflection sparked a creative period that comprised of storyboarding the video that would accompany the German audio piece.
