Dear all, because notion can’t have more than 1M of content, I have put stuff on my website:

For the show a thing, I have presented the thesis progress to the following professors and resident, which I found immensely helped me from their perspectives how my project is going, and what I need to look into more for. Here I want to kinda organize the feedback they were offering to me in the span of several minutes:
Adam Colestock: It would be good if you could talk about how your performance could potentially help with the subject brought up. + A lot of researches in How to help people with traumatic experiences:Taking medication/drug when you reliving the experiences, look into those.
Enrique Garcia: Wifi wireless system doesn’t work, diagnosis could be that my device offers 24Ghz and since iphones has the same frequency band, it creates interference.
Tiri Kananuruk: Performance magnesium, the logic behind the performance and the subject.
Sakar Pudasaini: I address that it is hard to talk about subject trauma related to memory in normal conversation, that is why performance is important to me because I took another route to not only “talk” about it, but also directly experiment with the healing. It is worthy to mention about the performance as a way to expand capacity of the container, rather than the substance in it.
David Rios: Wifi and circuit board conversation.
With the feedback above, I was able to re-organize the way I present this thesis to the public. Super helpful to me, so thank you all for making this happen!
1st meeting with Merche, it was very amazing in a sense that I get to hear an artist’s work (even though just a bit) in her (their) own perspective. We touch upon some similar experience of visa, and Merche gave me very valuable information~ And also, the thesis is moving forward to the technical problem solving part, which in steps I will:
progress of my thesis so far:
Meeting with everyone in the peer group, it was nice to hear about projects from Ai, Ian and Anney. And We shared our progress quite a lot~
we are going to keep going~
I have a video but it is too big for notion. The sonic quality is the essence in the thesis I present so far, but still WIP
Thank you EVERYONE who reviewed my proposal! Your feed backs are fantastic, and yes I am going to work on the aspects all of you mentioned, especially when it comes to present the topic in the performance.
Memory is a very large question mark in the field of trauma, and I am going to simulate the schedule of memory in terms of how long would an experience comes back when similar objects are triggered, and when it will disappear after it comes back in a sonic distortion and sonic bending forms.
Meet up with Brian again, great session as ever.
Brian gave me advice to the thesis proposal, which is very helpful because now I am going to do more documentation~
SPIKE MADE!!!!!
Celebrate progress post. Feel cute might not delete.
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!
From last time we spoke about the device Spiky Nipple Eye, I have progressed a little bit again–
1. I have coded a bit in Arduino and mapped my pot to the session in my abelton.

2. I have linked it up to it wirelessly in my session, with sound examples delivering a sonic simulation of traumatic memory and its impact into life where things became schizophrenic and broken down in pieces without continuity.

NEXT STEP: continue research and making the device.
