🗓 Week 6-7 / 8 November 2021
Moving forward, I would like to create a system for documenting that is non-intrusive to my process while representing my work in a way that feels authentic. I love the idea that documenting can be a part of the work itself and not an additional task. I’m interested in exploring different documenting methods (active, passive, sound, visual, using different tools) to see which resonates most and if it makes sense to combine a few. Most importantly, the system has to be intuitive (not take too much extra effort) and also accessible to others in the end. I can imagine that some of these experiments sound interesting, but may not prove to be sustainable. Some ideas of documenting methods I'd like to explore:

New Way of Documenting
Through this workshop, I realized that documenting my process has become an afterthought during these first few months of the program. As my attention is fully focused on learning new information, I don't think to step out of that zone to snap a photo or video. The idea of finding a documentation method that is more a part of my process instead of a secondary process is very appealing to me. And Kate's challenge of imagining different methods of documenting my experience is something I'm looking forward to exploring.Moving forward, I would like to create a system for documenting that is non-intrusive to my process while representing my work in a way that feels authentic.

- Using biometric data from my apple watch
- Creating a strict system to take photos
- Using screen recordings for process videos
Documenting Tech Beyond the Myth
During these two weeks I took many videos, sound recordings and images. I didn't have a concrete idea of the outcome, but I wanted to have options to play around with. Looking over the media I've collected, I became interested in the audio clips of machines and people. In the final documentation, I decided to play with sound in a way that reflected the chatoric and fast-paced learnings in the past two weeks.You can watch my video on youtube.
