Feedback

Stone

• Not interested in topic. Finds little value in the format?
• Interested in design part, interested, similar to the web-design
• Working on a photobooks and non-the-less experimenting making epub

Max

• intense, long days (tiring)
• 5 days could be more appropriate, since they allow the creating work, and for thoughts and work start to alignment
• interested in talks

Nadine

• interesting the different perspectives on the same subject

Colm

• topics for the days - titles, texts, talk - realizing how deep each threat of the topic helps.
• confuse: how far they should go? Would like the expected outcome was more clear from the beginning.

Pleun

• something happens when you go white far
• wish to have it every month

natalya

• look at an object like an epub - from something technical and practical, to a more experimental and exploratory object

Julia

• unsure about if 3 days or good, or should go long
• suspicious about the topic - everything around the topic was interesting
• was not clear where the connections were.
• 3 days were about ways of doing, rather than the content.

Sara

• intense, but needed, specially after 1 month unemployment
• 1st impression was not of interest, but also because it was a foreign topic
• texts created interested
• pity to have not discussed the texts - since they are ways to process the rest of the readings and talks. Need to approach the text differently.
• Report (Steve) - as way of process
• work in groups and without hierarchies
• necessity for collective thinking -

Annet

• necessary to work more with the students for the preparation phase. Talk them more on what to expect.
• guests - what did you feel?
• content - underestimated the context of the content.

• (students were not making the connections, being active withing the text)
