Own it

The question this session is about ownership in the notions of: 

    open source    

    there are (almost) never new ideas -> references, assign other ideas

    the responsibility, especially if other people are involved


This ideas play in my "worst nightmare", if the BA project would just deteriorate into nothingness without leaving a trace or even be harmful for the people involved so I must be aware and prevent a top-down approach from the designers perspective, especially if I'm in a more privileged position.

This is especially hard in synergy with my other fear of making too much compromises and making the whole work a chore to chew through.


A good way to combat this fears is analyzing my skills and be my own critic(which I tend to do too harshly anyway). I also like to think that I have good ideas.

A helpful resource is my own blog, which in retrospect I'm very glad that I did it that throughout:

thoughts-on-inter-action-design-methods

There I list a ton of methods and possible answers to the mighty question what even inter action design is.

reflection impressions on the free flow seminar

The main take away from the two day free flow seminar was that I talked to a lot of people. The exercise where we had to bring three books to talk about was arbitrary for me(the books ended up being too random and specific for my tastes and preferences, but nevertheless I could find an overarching theme in them), but it felt good wandering through the library and discovering the various fields the books were categorized in. For the “idea speed dating” exercises I anxiously come up quickly with projects ideas I already had in mind to evade being embarrassed not having  any   idea what to do for my bachelors. One idea consisted about deliberately training an AI wrongly. Playing and experimenting with the notions of correlation and causality. Feeding machine learning algorithms with various datasets and looking for interesting results would have been the main focus. But after a talk with one of the mentors the obvious fact of the existence of already falsely trained AI come up. L...

  Observation For the observation part I translated a short excerpt from the book, where the my grandfather, the author of this book, describes the course of events of the wine laws and his stance.   Until 1970 it was obligatory to indicate how many "puttony" the wine was made from. This was possible from 2 to 6. The category of „one puttony“ used to be in circulation, but was later cancelled. The categories even ranged to 7, 8 or even 10 „puttony", but wasn’t ever used. Over the span of 20 years the laws were changed. As second step, the category of „2 pottony" was cancelled. Further in 1997 it was decreed that Tokaj wine could be also produced without the traditional manufacturing method! And then something happened which I believe resembles a particularly serious crime.   On the basis of a "commission" of seven people the regulation could be changed arbitrarily. And so Tokaj wine fell into French hands. It should be noted that there were no professional...

 https://www.figma.com/file/8F0itDl3hJJNQB3Kd31A4X/?node-id=0%3A1 With short exercises I try to analyze the newly updated project references to build the positioning of my own work. -> 1. what's missing here? -> 2. what's the speculation? (Surrounding, social context...) -> 3. what do they answer? -> 4. going bit deeper -> what/how do they sense? Schwartzman, M. (2011). See yourself sensing : redefining human perception. Black Dog. With the idea of embodiment in mind and as the title suggests, a reorientation, exploration of the topic of human sensing is explored. Schwartzman embraces the notion of cybernetics but in a more nearer, tangible speculative future i. e. a lot of featured projects take elements and approaches from DIY culture. They see feasible but nonetheless pushing the boundaries of what we understand as the human sensorial experience in conjunction with our bodies and surroundings. -> 1. what's missing here?           M...
