Boring thinking

Over the past week we have found it very difficult to find the purpose of sticking to our project idea. It seems that we cannot see the connection between creating a unified network and using senses/abilities. My group does not see how the testing of senses can benefit our project and help provide us an answer to make the objective fit for all senses while unifying everyone involved together.

I thought that if we went out and tried things like the sense testing we could find this answer or at least make some progress in what it is we would be making or experimenting. I think now that we focused to much on getting the answer rather than trying things out to just see what happens and keeping us interested in our project. If we can't stay interested in the project then we wont progress far. Also our way of working needs to change, we can't just look at ideas, think of a project and then create it. It needs to be more of a back and forth system of testing, discussing, planning, researching and reflecting. I realised this last year but saw it as more doing more planning within testing to help with the testing and creating, rather than testing within the planning to help the planning and developing.

My studio has these available for rent to help with my idea

We had one final discussion and realised that we didn't want or need to make our project an experiment. I still think that the senses is something that I want to look into, especially after putting in a lot of effort and research at how they all coincide with each other. After playing around with our rented video camera I got an idea I wanted to play around with that involved perception and the senses. This is where I will be going next to look at what I find interesting as well as what creations I could get out of it.
