- What did you learn?
For the assignment, I learned how to find the path to do critical experience work from an initial topic. Thoughts and forms are deeply interwoven, making this kind of research a unique experience.
For the presentation part, I would rethink about how to organize and show the content to the audience in a short time.
- What feedback did you receive? Any reflections on critique itself?
Some suggestions are about better ways to deliver the idea and information, such as font size (revised, seems better now) and the content after the user answers. I’m glad that the critical thinking about indirect taxes resonated. I would like to know more about the audience’s further thoughts while the presentation time was limited.
- What might you do differently in terms of process or content?
Choosing one aspect and narrowing down the topic may extend the topic more concisely to audiences. It’s also important to exchange ideas with others earlier.
- What was inspiring? What parts?
The process gives me a new perspective to think about things. A small topic can lead to a lot of deep thinking. It makes me more curious about the world.
- Revisit the assignment prompts: how did your project relate to the original prompts, in terms of critical lens, audience, tone, etc…
The topic “salt” under the theme “borders” was strange to me initially. So I’ve been looking for the connection during the process. In the end, the project focuses on relations between countries and inside a country, which closely ties to the prompt.
- How did you balance research and experimentation? Which is easier for you? How can you focus more on the areas that you shy away from
I would say… both are not easy for me. I felt stuck on both sides. However, next time I’ll figure out ideas first, even if they are rough. I feel like the form can promote ideas, and more ideas also promote the form. And talking about ideas with others is a good way to move further.
