MEETING WITH ANDY STIFF

This term the outcomes are:

1. Look at work done comtemporaneously. Who is doing what and where is it being done?
2. Debate and evaluate the work [two larger seminar rooms have been booked for the process.
3. Fit MY WORK into the current scene…into a larger context.
4. Produce a prototype demo of the final show that is TESTABLE. Address the IDEAS behind the WORK.

Questions:

1. What is the place/relevance of INTERACTIVITY?
2. What is the relevance of INSTALLATION?

Write an essay that is due in at the beginning of December [first week] of 1500 words which is ‘based’ on the PGPD essay, but relates back to my own work and the progress of my research. Explore and engage in what interests me and how it impacts on my own work.

To ‘Contextualize’ the work: Look at the structure of the work. Remove all adjectives and look at the abstract of the work and how this can relate to other work… e.g. architecture / programming etc.

Do a ‘BLOG’ every week …a kind of running diary of the progress of the work. This will be a cross between a sketch book and a log book.
