Meeting with Sarah3

Today I met Sarah for an one on one session, always very nice talking to Sarah, and we have some progress to update and some progress to make:

UPDATE:

1. Sarah encouraged me to keep going, which is building the device and the research. I have emailed Margaret about PDFs to download, and here is a new tip: we can’t download pass 45 pages a day, which to some people makes sense if they have a printer at home and have a habit of reading off screen. But that’s not too bad, I kept saving pdfs day after day to a folder, in between the time try to learn about cognitive experience dealt with trauma and PTSD that had impact on memories.

And for the updates of my device, please see it here: https://itp.nyu.edu/lowres/thesis2023/2023/03/02/spiky-nipple-eye-progress/

2. Sarah shared some very interesting “weapon” making for defend-less gals:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/design-your-own-weapon-workshop-with-artist-caroline-garcia-tickets-520779584757

Had no clue things like this exist, even though it’s out there in NJ, but still great to read about it.

Sarah also shared this with me, which I didn’t know its existence until now as well: https://www.cprnyc.org/

 

PROGRESS:

1. Sarah proposed to look at my thesis proposal and point out some directions for applying for grants and stuff, and I do think this will really help me because as far as being a confident artist(somewhat), I suck at writing or doing anything to help myself financially, or had failed to do so for many times. And I had always wanting to get advice for this particular matter. Anyone who has any other advice? please throw at me!

2. Mentor decision: A mentor who’s an performing oriented artist such as :

A: Kinlaw :https://www.instagram.com/kinlawww/?hl=en

B: I also really like  https://spruethmagers.com/artists/anne-imhof/

(I think personally her practice spoke to many facets of my thinking.)

 

or

 

Tech oriented artist:

A: http://www.katehartman.com/

B: I also really like Kelly Heaton: https://www.kellyheatonstudio.com/

 

TRUE THOUGHTS

I would really love to learn how to make your own PCB board

(for say I wanna make a light response to my singing frequency bandwidth(ok I know arduino has similar chips and sensors for that but maybe not as practical in a sense I need it for))

 

But I would like to get an opinion on which mentor side I should go for,  from you who’s reading, if you have any, thank you!
