VISUALISING RESEARCH
-------------------------------------
In this session we started with Interests to look at associations.
We looked at diagrams in the form of a visual diagram or research chart
There were two main ways of representing the information. Either as a linear map (showing a timeline/or a journey from A to B) or circular/poly-linear map (showing a central topic such as an event, person or subject) with radial branches that separate into smaller sub-branches.
The different areas could be presented as Politics / People / Events / Key topics.
Alternatively it could be represented as 2D or 3D layers such as Politics / People / Events.
At the centre of the study or diagram could be a person which the diagram explores as a visual biography. The connections of that key person to other people could be explored. With other people who perhaps may be associated by particular events such as movements, workplaces, or schools of thought.
Books may be published about the person and journals may also have articles on them.
Networking Designers - give lectures
Liz gave an example of a professional friend who when they became unable to work, posed the dilema of where they could send their body of work - to Museums/Open/Archive or Colleges.
"People are important" - in Philosophies
"Working out a map for investigation"
images as cues/clues
Some ideas were bounced around:
- Dig deeper and contextualise
- Personal reflection
- Result of the MA - why? for what?
- Belief in tangible
- Digital archives - from 1995 to the present
- Look at interpretations of the past - 1960 vs 2011 - different interpretations of a similar event
- Look at barriers to progress, did people find another way
I asked the question on whether missing parts of a person's life may just be undiscovered (the missing nodes or links), due to various circumstances or surrounding politics.
Two ideas became apparent - that political events may demand that people to go into hiding, adhere to official secrecy, or go 'underground' at certain points in time or make them change professions (so that journals for example still would only cover the profession that they were in/or coming into). Also it made me consider that when people migrate as emigrants the information about them also can migrate to that particular country (particularly if there were barriers to information due to politics or geography).
- Exhibitions
- Journals - creative
- Creatives
- Aural histories of South Africa
IDEAS OF TANGIBILITY------------------------------------
Getting Research going - History/Present/Future
- We looked at tangible artifacts.
(1) A light stainless steel fold up toaster
(2) A pathescope from the 1920s
The pathescope was the 'iPhone of the 1920s'
It was produced by a French company, was heavy but durable.
There was a patent marking on the base.
'Looking at the past to understand the future'.
To gather research and not just look at books & websites we have the opportunity to touch the artifacts or pick up objects, if this opportunity is available.
(The tangible - is important!)
We should look at the purpose or usability of an object.
What does it trigger in my mind?
The sensory experience - sight, sound, smell, touch
Think about the object, and where does it fit into society?
'Layers of meaning'
DIAGRAMS FOR PRESENTATION IDEAS
'design for devices'
'design for people'
'design for spaces'
how will I research for my project
through books, web, visiting places...
OTHER IDEAS:
CHALLENGING LABELS - from Edward de Bono, Lateral Thinking
Label + Thing
- Challenge labels
- Try and do without them
- Establish new labels
- Why am I using this label?
- What does it really mean?
- Is it essential?
- Am I just using it as a convenient cliche?
- Why do I have to accept that label used by other people?
