Rapid Prototype Directory - session 3
LINK TO RAPID PROTOTYPE DIRECTORY: Rapid Prototype Session 2
Today's agenda:
11:00 Review methods this year Methods2023Archive Today is the last Methods Session, we resume in September as the Graduate Research Seminar.
Notes:
Good points: Overall integration of concerns of the SI and the methods sessions worked well; time taken to think and talk things through appreciated; joint reading, writing and annotation sessions appreciated; Rapid Prototyping (scratch) and 'project that may or may not be made' also useful. It would be good to manage time so there are more sessions in third trimester.
Room for improvement: there could be more space for a) reading sessions (reading groups) b) more sessions devoted to academic writing and research skills c) discussion about what 'artistic research' is.
11:20 Rapid Prototyping. Review your current practice as rapid prototypers
Compile one or more projects that may or may not be made (+ rapid prototypes* to illustrate proposal) Follow the previous template:
What will it be? (Three sentences max)
Why make it? (Three sentences max)
Workflow : describe the stages needed to make it (Four sentences max)
Timetable Upload all here:
Note: please make the outline as practical as possible; please avoid specialist terms and theoretical terms (and if necessary, explain specialist and theoretical terms in as few words as possible).
NEW RULE: for each proposal, incorporate a METHOD and a TECHNOLOGY from current Special Issue and prototyping sessions.
FEEL FREE: to build on work done in prototyping and SI sessions
13:00 LUNCH
14:00 Review work done in group.
Develop one of your proposals (elaborate on the few sentences you have, make more Rapid Prototypes)
16:00 Meet in group to review
Notes: The above template can be used to consolidate some ideas you are already working with; to break the subject down into smaller pieces &c
Try mixing up different times for rapid prototypes
