Semester Two Update

I am back in Auckland ready to do all of my assignments. I got very sick before the mid semester break which through me off a fair bit. Now that I am better I can only do my best and carry on. For the last week of the break I would like to put in the effort to be up to date with all of my projects. It’s freaking me out to think that we do not have long to go before the end of year two. 

What I would like to achieve this week:

>Story-line and Concept finalised for Transmedia

>Weekly Tasks and Readings completed for Mediated Performance and Experimental Imagery

>More experimenting with sounds and recordings, watch more sound documentaries

These tasks will keep me busy when I am not working.

Mediated Performance Reading

Know Thyself: Tracking Every Facet of Life, from Sleep to Mood to Pain, 24/7/365

I found this reading very interesting, with self-tracking becoming easier it also has become more social. It has become social in the sense that users can compare their data with other users and see where they are at in comparison. I find it intriguing that with logging all this information into these apps/devices, it allows people to ‘hack’ their body and know their body more. I think it is good because users have a control over seeing all the data collected and the users choose what they can do with that data. For me personally, I think soon it will become a norm to record every aspect of your life (steps, activity) and it could be for the better by helping people set goals, be healthier, be happier or prevent illnesses.
