Week 7

• What does the word ENTROPY mean and why is this relevant?

Disorder; Involving too much content or idea's can take away from the oringinal concept. A problem I constantly come across when deciding whether to continue a picture; It is rare for me to finish a painting or drawing and be completely happy with it. Adding more and more into the image doesn't always help and can often ruin what you were oringinally going for.


This clever little show throws so much information at the audience that it become somewhat overwhelming and irritating to watch. Although the show is well done, I think its a bit too clever for it's own good.

This video is a decent example of how one of there usual segments looks.

• If you are attuned to everything around you, does it help you deal with what is in front of you and why or why not ?

Gaining information from your surroundings just by being aware and understanding is definatey helpful and can help you relate it to the task at hand.

• How is this different from FOCUS ?

Focus is being singled minded and dedicated to the task at hand without taking in any outside inspirations.

• Being “comfortably lost” is a balance between what 2 feelings?

It aslmost descrides the word " intruige" perfectly
it is a balance between confusion and curiousity.

• Describe a recent scenario when you found yourself to be “comfortably lost”. Did you enjoy the sensation?

When I listen to my favourite music and look at my favourite artworks i'm comfortabley lost. It is often inspirational and at the same time daunting.

• If you couldn’t hold back the urge to write on the “don’t write on this page” page – what would you write? 

I would definately not write anything...
I'd draw a picture..
  

Edward De Bono's "6 Thinking Hats"

• Which hat best represents your group? Why?

our  group is best described as the green hats. we all have ideas coming out of our ears.
Some of the ideas conflict and it's is very clear that we all have specific tastes.
Most of our time is spent brainstorming and throwing out new concepts and ideas.

• Describe the Exhibition Group meeting where you may adopt the BLACK hat

The blach hat needs to be put on by everyone in the group. It gives us an idea of how much work is actually involved in the project. I may adopt the black hat in areas of editing where I believe I have a keen eye for detail and can Differentiate --> between what is relvant and what serves the project best.
