Summary of Progress

Summary and Evaluation of Overall Progress –   “Art is the soul’s reflection, echoing humanity’s quest for unity amidst the bits and bytes of our technological evolution.”   Out of all of the sections of Unit 3, this one (LO3), has by far been the most difficult for me to complete.  Partially because it is the last one and I’m really sad about that, but also because I genuinely don’t know where to begin.  At one point I even considered just feeding my words from the first section into ChatGPT.  However I wanted my final piece of writing to come straight from the heart.  This is because over the last two years I have been on a transformative journey.  When I began the course most of my creative activity revolved around macro photography and I had a deep love of the subject.  I saw myself initially using this skill and refining it further to create more and more interesting art pieces.  However, in the midst of all of this I witnessed the rapid rise of text to image and text to video AI industrialised art. I just instinctively knew that my time as a fine art photographer was  drawing to […]

Deep Reflection

Summary of My Reflective Process – Over the last two years, I’ve found it incredibly useful to engage in a deep reflective process.  This has proven an invaluable activity in helping to shape my work moving forwards. Throughout my course I have always made time to look back on what I have been doing with a critical eye.  Below are all of the links associated with this activity.   My 2 Year Reflective and Evaluative Process Reflection Part#1 Reflection Part#2 Reflection Part#3 Reflection Part#4 Reflection Part#5 Reflection Part#6 Reflection Part#7 Reflection Part#8   Additional Reflection (Unit 2)

Reflection Part 8

Looking Back Over the Last Few Weeks – So much has happened over the last few weeks.  It has been a real rollercoaster of emotions and a severe dose of food poisoning hasn’t helped.  Reflection Part 7 nicely summarises unit 2.  It also summarises much of my thinking in terms of ideas and project work for Unit 3.  However, this reflective session 8 will cover my progress as I’ve moved into Unit 3.  Hopefully the progression of ideas from Reflection Part 7 can be seen in this current Reflection Session 8.   Below are the usual set of questions that I use to help with the reflective process: What have you done so far? What have you discovered so far? What will you change because of what you have discovered? What will you do next?   WHAT HAVE I DONE SO FAR? Here is a short recap of what I’ve been doing since the beginning of Unit 3 and from Reflective Session 7, right up to this point in time.   As part of my ongoing project work I wanted to 3d print my own robot.  I embarked on the project but ran into multiple problems.  If I have time […]

Reflection Part 7

Looking Back on This Term – It’s not actually that long since I reflected on my work. My last analysis was for the final learning objective of Unit 2.  A recap of everything that I did for this unit can be found here. Following on from Unit 2, below are my thoughts from the start of Unit 3.   Below are a set of questions that I use to help with the reflective process: What have you done so far? What have you discovered so far? What will you change because of what you have discovered? What will you do next?   WHAT HAVE I DONE SO FAR? Since the end of last term, I’ve been acutely aware that time is slipping away.  Therefore, as soon as Unit 2 was complete, I began thinking about Unit 3. My primary aim was one of consolidation.  In Unit 2 I had been exploring so many ideas that I felt now it was time to bring everything together.  Here is a short recap of what I’ve been doing since the beginning of this year up to this point in time.   Right at the very end of term I was already thinking ahead […]

Feedback

Thoughts Firing Actions – I’ll not lie, I was feeling so happy with my grade from Unit 2.  Ahead of receiving my grade, I was so worried that I had completely messed up with regards to my thinking.  I knew that there was a depth to my work still lacking, but I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it.  Then I received my feedback!  This put beautifully into words exactly what I was feeling.  There had to be something deeper to what I was trying to achieve.  It’s really not enough to simply use AI and it’s crucial that investigations go much further. I decided that I would try to dig a little deeper and ‘go under the bonnet’ of AI.  What exactly is AI and machine learning? How easy is it to master?  Can a non programmer access it? Could there be a creative use for it beyond simply using it and tapping into the vast wealth of humanity that created it without being asked? I decided that in order to move forward I needed to train one of my own models.  I wasn’t sure where to start so I asked my old friend ChatGPT.  The bot suggested […]
