Group Session on Mar 8

I got inspiration and helpful feedback from today’s group session. Some thoughts and feedback are summarized below.

  1. We all see the possible negative impact of AI and technology on people’s life. Over-productivity might make people lost in the automation. What does it mean to “me”?
  2. The usefulness of being a useless person
  3. Any specific technologies to be used

1:1 with Sarah #2 on Feb 23

We went through my proposal draft and Sarah provided me with valuable feedback . Below are the notes.

  1. Need to define what is the difference between healthy, wellbeing, and/or balanced  – look for historical or multiculutral definitions of healthy
  2. Think of using a metaphor, an animated figure seems too straight forward
  3. Can “30 mins/day for technique learning” be somehow part of my thesis story?
  4. Brainstorming techniques provided by Sarah: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YiIt0GEK2kERhhMaS-U6-7b1J5Sn4CAHHVoIv9RPx5A/edit#slide=id.p

1:1 with Sarah #1 on Feb 9

I had my first 1:1 with Sarah on this Thursday. It was a very nice talk. Firstly, I introduced my background and my initial thoughts about the theme of my thesis – Time. Sarah helped sort out my thinkings and went through with me the objectives, structure and expectations of Thesis. Also, a lot of inspirations and references were provided by Sarah.  Really appreciate it!

Actions:

  1. Write two paragraphs from two different philosophical perspective under the theme
  2. Search for 3-5 artwork related to my theme – what do I like or dislike about them?
