Week 10 was purely presentation and wrapping up the final draft to present. We present our group with our group title “Alienation”. I remember Dan’s feedback was to engage more with the audience through composing interactive project hence with our original idea of making a video and website lack in interactive ideas. Having to do something more  interactive with aliens as the main character and story is arduous. As we were thinking and looking for ideas, Gloria ( one of our teammates ) commemorated the studies we learn in real world media which is making an origami alien and turning our original idea of making a video into showing steps by steps of making an origami alien enhanced through videos. 

As we all know, there are no entirely true facts of aliens being alive / visible  nor knowing the true image of it. But through making aliens origami can help other people to not only attract people in doing it but the main idea is having it to be “visible” and giving it “life” to human eyes (Ingold Tim, p.1-2). Turning “form” and “matter” into “life” can be applied to all the things you see in your daily life, which sums up the beauty of it. It will also be reminded that aliens are the main character of the group.
