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 20 (Low Residency)

Low Residency Part 2 – This is part 2 of the Low Residency.  This blog covers the second week of activities.  To see what happened in the preceding week please see Zoom Session 19.   Low Tech Photography (Monday 10.00am with Felix Loftus) I was very torn about taking this workshop as opposed to the printing workshop.  Printing is something that I’ve always been very interested in, but I’ve never really had the opportunity to explore it to any great degree.  However the pull of photography coupled with tech had way too much of a ‘pull factor’ for me.  Indeed, having taken the workshop I knew I had absolutely made the right choice for me!  It was nice to see both Trisha and Ester at the workshop too. When we entered the classroom there were a variety of Rasberry Pi processors on the table.  these were hooked up to a variety of lenses.  Some were native to Rasberry Pi and some were off the shelf smartphone camera lenses.  I hate to admit it but I was in tech heaven!  Although I was sad to miss printing I don’t think anything could ‘top’ me messing around with programming and kit.  The […]

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 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 […]

Zoom Session 7

A Little Confession – Before I begin to document our zoom session from this week I have a little confession to make.  I heard someone say that this was zoom session six.  I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that this week’s session was zoom session seven.  The reason I’m so sure is because each week I take the time to draw myself a little zentangle.  I counted up my zentangles and I have seven.  Therefore I think this week is week seven, but of course I may be wrong. As we were discussing ‘active listening’ I thought that now was probably a really good time to ‘fess’ up to my little ongoing drawing activity. I thoroughly enjoy our zoom sessions, I feel it’s a time for me to learn as opposed to teaching, which as a lecturer is a nice concept.  When I’m listening I enjoy drawing.  Since I seem to be mainly locked in a digital world at the moment, it brings just a small dose of the physical into my weekly meeting.  I also find it very relaxing and for some strange reason it seems to help me concentrate more.   I set myself a few […]
