2. Understanding & showing how (I
understand) things to work.
To then help speculate and discuss
possibilities/ potentials.
Intro

3. 3rd year Shia….
BOOOOOOMMMM 4th year Shia….
…pretty much sums it up.
Last year i felt ridiculously doubtful and often
afraid to create anything beyond formed
ideas.
This year im hoping to use the mantra “DO IT”
(also inspired by NIKE) to be more physical
and attempt not to end every sentance with
sorry.
How/Methodological
approach.
6. The world is complex, dynamic,
multidimensional; the paper is static, flat. How
are we to represent the rich visual world of
experience and measurement on a mere
flatland?
To envision information – and what bright and
splendid visions can result – is to work at the
intersection of image, word, number, art.

11. Steve Jobs
When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The
networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize
that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.
That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the
bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give
people what they want. It's the truth.
23. Neil DeGrasse Tyson
The most astounding fact is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on earth,
the atoms that make up the human body, are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light
elements into heavy elements in their core, under extreme temperatures and pressures.
These stars,…collapsed and then exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the
galaxy.
…we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, …the universe is in us. …many
people feel small cause they're small and the universe is big, but I feel big.
Because my atoms came from those stars. There's a level of connectivity - that's really
what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant, you want to
feel like you're a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you. That's
precisely what we are, just by being alive.
25. What am I doing? What’s my
interests?
I wanted to display/ communicate this
in-order to start a conversation/ make
‘art’, I think maybe because of the
multitude of links, thoughts, stuff in
my head, this is the only way I feel I
can manage it. (Public talking, as you
will now know, leaves me feeling like
I haven’t managed to coherently
verbalise my thoughts in the manner
I intend).
I like to know how things
work and link up thoughts
naturally we shape and
are reshaped by our
cultural environment, I
guess I wanted to know
why I can feel the way I
do so often.
First/ only thing I can think of or explain really how I research or what I research and my methodological approach to this is to be the really annoying 5 year old kid still who just never stops asking whhhyyy? Or how (should the former become slightly less fitting). I just like the knowing and finding out how things work. The moments when things just fit and link and make sense.
General intro what I like/ why and what im researching
Last year started with a shia this one starts with a shirted shia….
Also note: this is a more positive – 4th year psyche orientated picture.... So i guess i am ‘ok’ and i will ‘do it.” (last year i told myself repeatedly i am ok – this year my approach is a little different.....
after I acknowledged/ realized that basically I am creepy. My stuff will have a kind of shabby look, I decided okay isn't okay enough there's no point in being ok or having to tell yourself your ok hopefully this year im just going to do stuff even if it looks like that, yes even if it ends up crap or looking like a bad Halloween film or some creepy omen style child's toy, ill do it because I have all these things in my head and unless I start doing something I feel useless/pointless.
Once I was ok with the sort of crappy creepy style I seem to work under I really quickly found what it is im interested in/ what themes sort over over-arch my work.
In a way I guess the general theme is my life and brain all the ideas I have which loosley correlate around digital technologies and there effects. The surfaces created and creating these experiences which are becoming such large parts of our contemporary expreiences.
My work has recently evolved around thinking about these things through ‘surfaces’
To carry out and articulate the research and at the same time I think still be classed as doing research im gonna do experiment-y type things
Intor to surfaces and how that fits with digital
Experimenting and researching light facts and holograms etc
Digital involvement in galleries?
How digital can help keep structures unseen?
Possibilities of the technology if the equipment and how were being equipped to access and use it is fair or empowering/ useful to uas or if it restricts our positions
fictions
Why is it that this never quite feels enough especially not now.
