Late night cupa and finishing touches on my art installation, at first I wanted to get the piece on canvas in the proper sense but due to I was Informed by the warehouse stationary staff that it will take 1 day at least and tomorrow I have work thus I changed my mind to do a dIY version myself, look sharp was a good place for materials. Making it wasn't too difficult my basic art and craft experience was useful #ctec500

Today arrived the FSR sensors that we ordered on Tuesday, it was faster than I expected it to be their claim that we will receive it within 1-2 days of buying was on point. As soon I opened the packages with all excited to get it up and be able to use them. To my disappointment, it wouldn't work with the current setup including the setup. hitting back to google I came across a youtube tutorial that used the same sensor I had ordered thus it was quite helpful in helping me code for I am not as advanced at it that I can code it from a blank canvas but I am getting there which is a good progress but i the speed of actually me wiring the breadboard and the ardunio coding my speed fairly less the desirable.

Looking back to the last three days of me doing the ardunio I am quite surprised that I have come this far with it as when I first started with I was quite not good with either wiring and coding even though the coding is similar to processing just the language as you say is a little bit different got me lost.

The one exciting thing that happened today was that I finally figured my physical computing project, talking to Jenna she brought to light that my idea sounds a little bit less complex as the LED matrix I was thinking of using was a store-bought one but she suggested that should have a develop the idea but she was pretty much ok with it .Talking to Amiata she brought to light the LED cube matrix which inspired me to create my own matrix which I did want to learn due to the workshop with Antonin Fourneau.

Since Aimata is doing similar things but in a different context so we decided to make it alongside each other. In regards to the group at the moment, everyone is a little pre-occupied with the integrative practice which is due soon but as it is done we will be back on track and we are also performing a small test to check the repose of the reason for our idea.

Podcast + Reflection on the IP paper:

   This recent Friday, my friends Josh Baxter, Kale Buchanan, Daniel Dick, Adam Perry and I looked to record our own reflection and personal opinion of the Integrative Practice paper as a whole. In hindsight, I believe I could have possibly shown more restraint in expressing my grievances with the paper, and tried t limit the repetition in what we were saying. Where listening to it over again, alerted me to the needless repeating of points or opinion.

   Despite this, I am proud of this podcast not only because it allowed me to experiment with alternative mediums to documenting my thoughts and processes, but the actual discussion had during this podcast was something I never knew I needed in this paper until now. Trying to be a kind of host for the podcast, I tried to have a kind of structure to it so that we didn’t end up on a massive tangent for 30 minutes. Beginning with separating talking points into two parts. Part 1 consisting of opinion and reflection of the individual assignments that make up the paper. Where Part 2 was more of a reflection into the ideal and quality of the paper as a whole (note: Part 2 does not begin at the part 2 audio clip, as we finish talking about the third assignment a few minutes in).

Podcast - PART 1:

Podcast - PART 2:

   Overall, we aimed for this podcast to be helpful to both us, future students, and lecturers. Critiquing with the intention of outlining what we felt were weak aspects of the paper. Reflecting on the general ideas and intent of this paper, thinking about what we had learned, what could have been done better (this includes both students and lecturers), and how these ideas can further inform us for the rest of our degrees.

   SIDE NOTE: I apologise if many points feel overly critical or antagonistic to lecturers or the course. As a student in BCT I do want what’s best for myself and future students. I also understand that because this course is so young, future, well-informed iterations are needed to elevate the standards in COLAB. I just hope our feedback serves to help this iterative process by informing you of our own experiences. Thus, if I am to be true to what I hope to achieve, I cannot ‘play along’ with every aspect of this paper for the simple fact no paper is perfect. But through student feedback it can, and will, be better.

   EDIT: I believe it must also be said because it might not have been clear enough in the podcast; that I wholeheartedly disagree on Laurent’s decision to place a number on how many blogs we need to pass. Not to mention this continues the apparent pattern of giving us aspects of the assignment so late into work that results in rushed work, or acts to undermine what people had already done because such helpful teaching hadn’t been given earlier. IP01 had the weeks’ notice of displaying an artefact, IP02 had a very insightful talk on the difference between inter-disciplinary and transdisciplinary practice (something completely essential to have an understanding of in this paper) on the day of the hand in, and now, with this completely made-up-on-the-spot number taken from a student who had just previously said you can’t place a number something like this.

   So, I am not concerned in whether I have reached this uninformed number as I believe the length and quality of posts and documentation should be key in grading this third assignment. Not “you do not pass unless you have 30 blog posts labelled ‘ctec500.’” I will not rush out uninformed reactions to YouTube videos and I do not believe an arbitrary number should have influence over whether a student will pass or fail. Especially within a design course as subjective and opinion dependant as this one.

Uploads and reaction. Integrative Practice, ctec500.

Info about the blogs: I have written these in word weeks before uploading it, I just find it easier to save them in word as I have internet problems at home, there was this one case where I have written a long blog post, saved it, but it never showed in my history, so as of now, I use word so that I can relay back into my previous blogs and re post it.

My reaction towards my grades weren’t surprising, making that was simple, maybe because of the fact that my links weren’t strong enough. I was to concentrated on finding links that I have read.
