Zoom Session 39

AI and (3 Minute Video) Affirmative Feedback – I cannot believe that this is the penultimate zoom session of this year! I was really excited today because my three minute video was used as a test for the start of the crit sessions.  I was really pleased with the comments because I can now use these to help inform my work going forward.  I was quite nervous at how my video would be received, but I think on the whole, judging by the comments, it wasn’t so bad 🙂 As an extra form of feedback called ‘Affirmative Feedback’, everyone was asked to respond to the sentence:  “What worked for me is…”  The other respondents were then invited to agree or disagree with this by giving a thumbs up on the recorded session from today.  I am including a link to this week’s video as peoples’ comments and reactions will again be useful in helping to inform my work going forward.   Please see below for the comments:   A Useful Graphic The following graphic posted by Bea, is useful when considering the critiquing process.       Playing with AI text to Image Generation For the rest of the session […]

Zoom Session 19 (Low Residency)

Low Residency Part 1 – This week there wasn’t a formal zoom meeting due to preparations for both the Interim show and the Low Residency.  There won’t be a formal zoom session next week either as this will be right in the middle of the Low Residency.  For this reason I have decided to dedicate both zoom session slots to documenting both the Interim Show and the Low Residency.  Part 1 will cover the Interim show Private View and Low Residency activities covering Thursday 9th March until Sunday 12th March.  I will cover Part 2 next week from Monday 13th March until Thursday 16th of March.   The Interim Show (Thursday 9th March – 6.00pm-9.00pm) I was really excited to be travelling to the Low Residency in London. I’m not the most confident of travellers, so I was lucky to have my husband accompany me.  We left my car at Paignton boarded the train and headed off to our change at Newton Abbot railway station.     Once we arrived at Paddington, we bought some lunch  and then set off on the new Elizabeth Line heading East towards Abbey Wood.  Our actual stop was Farringdon.   We departed the train […]

Zoom Session 18

Derive, Derive & Thermodynamics – This weeks talk was really interesting and today inspired me to get out of my armchair and go for a wander.  In our session we were discussing the concept of a derive or simply derive.  In our discussion group I expressed my concern that Ai could potentially be robbing us of many jobs in the creative industry.  However during our five minutes of contemplation Bea pointed out that nothing is ever really destroyed.  She had been thinking about Thermodynamics and the idea that actually things just change energy is not destroyed it just changes.   We spoke about how analogue photography had now morphed into a genre in its own right in the wake of the digital revolution. I can honestly say that I felt very uplifted after our conversation.  In fact I was really taken with the whole concept of a derive.  It wasn’t something that I had come across before but it was certainly something that I wanted to try. The very next day I set out on a long walk around town (Brixham in Devon).  During that walk gave me time and space to think and reflect.  It also gave me time […]

Zoom Session 14

The Art of Seeing – This week we ran a really interesting exercise.  We were asked to look at a photograph and then look again more closely and then keep repeating this.  It is amazing how much can be missed with a cursory glance at something.  Our group discovered so much by analysing the image over and over again.  The little details gave away lots of information.  For example the police officer in our image was wearing a red poppy.  Instantly we knew that the photo must have been taken somewhere in the UK in November.  The poppy is synonymous with Remembrance Day which happens around that time.  This week we also did another 5 minute free writing exercise.  Our task was to look around our immediate surroundings and then say what it all meant.  I talked about all of the disruption in my front room because of having the room below it plastered.  We are extending the house and everything seems quite chaotic at the moment. One thing which I found absolutely fascinating was the idea that my salary will actually be the same as my salary averaged across the salaries of my friends.  Even more interesting was the […]

Zoom Session 10

Programming with Processing 😊 – This has to be one of my favourite sessions so far. I love all of my zoom sessions, but the chance to learn a little programming is always a positive for me. Until today I hadn’t come across the programming environment called ‘Processing’. I downloaded the software onto my computer and I attempted to play around with it a little. This was to familiarise myself with it a before the start of our session. I found the tutorials really informative and I very quickly got the ‘gist’ of it. We also had a guest speaker Matthew Edwards, who came in to give us a demonstration and work with us through some example code. It was a very good pace and pitched perfectly for a total beginner like myself. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the results of my little programs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the group conversation afterwards. Jonathan introduced us to GPT chat. This is an advanced algorithmic program that can write highly intuitive essays from user text prompts. It can also write code. This week I’ve had lots to think about and explore. I have updated my ‘Zentangle’ gallery to reflect all of my little […]
