I've had about a zillion ideas about this project and it's been really difficult to narrow them down into something that I was actually able to create. I watched the video again, and I still don't really have a lot of feelings about it. I think it's cool to incorporate your body into technology and projects, but it's not really something I would ever do. It's interesting to see how people can come up with ideas and make them happen. Some of it is a little extreme to me, but it's always neat to see what other people are able to do. Since I'm not actually a Media Arts and Science major, I don't really think in terms of technology and projects like the ones shown in the video.
When it comes to me, I think a lot in sections. I try to compartmentalize things into chapters or small books that I can close, put on a shelf, and move on from. I tried to adopt this idea into my book. I turned each assignment into a small book that was made from a chapter in my book. I've been trying to get myself to start keeping a journal, so I made an attempt here as a start. Each little book has some thoughts and ideas that I had during that particular assignment or about feedback that I received during class after be presented them. I'd like to make a little case or shelf for them to all sit in, but I didn't have the time or resources to get that done by the time this is due.
My intention is to be able to "pull a chapter off the shelf" to glance through and be reminded of what I experienced throughout this class. When I need a little pick-me-up, I can look to them and be reminded that I did some things that I never would have considered before and learned a lot about myself and who I am. I think the Fear assignment will be especially helpful in reminding me that I really can do anything I set my mind to and that I'll make it out the other side unscathed and in a better place. My goal is that this will help me to allow myself to get out and enjoy the things and people in my life instead of shutting myself inside my own head all the time. These will be my tiny reference books to help me when I need some guidance. (=
