I recently met with Sarah H. to discuss Thesis topics and potential. I have chatted with Sarah before about other projects and appreciate her thoughts a lot, so I thought it would be nice to run through some of the things I’ve talked with Sarah R and Nun about with her.
I shared some project ideas with her, with the caveat that these might not be actual project ideas, but more just random “things” I could do that had to do with the topics I was thinking through. I don’t have an idea how to execute them or what they mean, they are just ideas that popped up in my head in the last few weeks.
- Technical gear paper dolls
- Barbie dream stuff // american girl doll?
- Poetry or haikus about how networks work
- Luxury hockey stuff
- Government issued survivor gear (super shitty and propaganda-y)
- Am I going to be okay?? Machine (magic 8 ball)
- a choreographed dance of org structure, business dealings, handshaking
- a manifesto
- fake sensor to find/uncover your true interests and passions on the internet?
- powerpoints that prove a point
- org chart chess (ceramics?)
- nerdy jocks *technical documents for sports…luxury?
- Get ready with me for the apocalypse
- how i made this toothbrush
- I made this network from old raspberry pis for my bf and I
- Scavenging haul
We discussed some common themes of the ideas:
are you ready??? (overarching question)
- tactical
- decision making
- vigilance
- control
- protection
- choreography
- control
Sarah also suggested that I write out a do’s and don’ts list for my thesis because I had very strong opinions about how and in what conditions I wanted to use technology and what kind of tone I wanted to set with whatever the thesis was.
