Perception and Interpretation

-
We understand "stuff" to be traced and for there to be no limitations to our interpretation. 

The role of subjective perspective - we cannot conduct a genealogy from nowhere

As an analogy - comparison between one thing and another typically for the purpose of explanation and clarifications 

Genealogy is "writing" or "fabricating" of history, this is what Nietzsche called perspectivism. Nothing is naturally given. Everything is being made into what it is through interpretation. There is no given truth, only different ways of making narratives of truth. 

Schrodinger's Cat
Is a way to speculate on a hypothesis -- or to ponder an idea. This is called a thought experiment. 

We experience a world of contradictions. 

The world as falsehood - "there is no truth" 

'The world with which we are connected is false...' a "truth" is universal but the world is only as it appears subjectively. 
'is not a fact but fable' the world is a fiction, passed from on from one generation to the next. 'basis of meager sum of observations' an 'approximation' is something abstract and partial, a rough realisation of the world. "Flux" the world is the changing animation and liveliness of the world, the world is 'becoming.' 

Perspective
'Why rappers love Grey Poupon' 

 This is not about seeing the world "as it is" - as if there was a real truth to find - Nietzsche made it clear that "there is no truth"

 Examples of perspective:
Mary Shelley Frankenstein (1818
Walton the seafarer
Victor the scientist 
The Monster
Felix the blind peasant

We were formally introduced to the YCN briefs today, it has been mentioned prior to this lecture but its now time to develop ideas and final outcomes! I looked into all the live briefs and I'm thinking about ArtFund_, Frontier or The Grown Up Chocolate Company. I need to start sketching out ideas and reading over each brief again to make a final decision about which one I want to explore... Looking forward to possible outcomes for this!

Theory of Practice is made up of 10,000 words, 5000 for an essay, a sketchbook that will be equivalent to 2500 words and a visual analysis.  > Contextual Portfolio Sketchbook  > Visual Analysis  > Annotations > Feedback from studio days  > Drawings and notes from seminars and lectures  Contextual Portfolio Sketchbook  > Universal Sketchbook - is something that should go everywhere with you: lectures, seminars, studio work, exhibitions, shows, talks etc. It should allow you to expand on research and project interests  Try not to talk about artists that you have found or any work/places that you have seen - create  work that has been influenced by other work and then mention who it was influenced by and how it lead to what you created  Sketch - meaning portray your work through rough drawings that are intended to serve as the basis for a final outcome  Digitised pages from contextual po...

Bread Typography

I was looking forward to this workshop but unfortunately had to miss it!  However, using notes and inspiration from Nick's instagram I have completed the workshop in my own time. I chose to keep the letters quite large and visible and used alternative textures for each letter by keeping some as bread and others were toasted.  I used ten different coloured pieces of paper for the backgrounds of each letter, so for the letter 'A' it shows the ten different colours in one GIF, I did this for each letter and this resulted in what would've been a minute long GIF, which isn't really the idea of them.  So I chose alternative coloured backgrounds to create the alphabet GIF.
