Research Process - PG01-15 (24 Jan 2012)

- Present to group based on research to date
- Reflection - on 15 past weeks

What have I done? - need to evaluate PG02 as well later.

Is it useful? / Reflection on journey so far.

What did I learn in PG01?
- Research methods, context, debates

Look more assured

How will it affect my study going forward?
PG01, PG02, PG03, PG04, PG05

Direction/Focus

What are you doing?

Key thing - what are you doing and why are you doing it?

Collaboration/Personal reflection

Discovering ideas/finding insights - is it learning?

not about - this is the target, identify the target.

Thinking about Thinking

If it is personalised, you will get more out of it.

More measured now - more confident

Critique of own course or pathway - what is it this really is? - Investigation of a creative practice

How to construct an argument - good books?

Adrian's interest - highlights was the formative presentation

Opportunity can be there, but time is not always there.

Funneling, narrowing the scope, broadening as well.

Negotiate with the tutor

Ian Lin, talking about his PG experience
- composing and performing, easy, analysising and evaluating is difficult

Business unit (PG02) - can I turn this into practice?
- can analyse business models

Use the unit as a launch pad

How do you keep your research going?
- confidence
- questioning
- fear as a motivator
- indulge (enjoy)

Concept and Prototyping
- is taken is 2013 -building things to test

Why am I doing this?

Mention research critique in later modules

I own my learning

PT challenges -
- Keeping connected
- Time management
- Long term strategy/long term goals
- Aligning professional goals
- Retain a collaboration to gain confidence
- Being self-disciplined

Aims - To be in a certain place by a certain time - (milestones)

Sometimes - you just have to make money!

How the financial crisis affects creativity (surrounding events)

globalisation

What is happening over the next 12 months?

Creativity can be activated, released

Lots of wildcards, is the technology the driver of change? 3D, Moving image?

Immersion in storytelling. How much do we believe the technology is changing out practice?

How do you survive?

Intense immersion, for short periods

Collaborative research

How do you keep in touch?

Process of travelling - Is it better to travel than arrive? - planning through the course

Adrian - choosing between poetic focus or technology focus

Add dates into PT calendar - double check the dates

Britta - making sure information goes up

Postgraduate exhibition - talk to Britta - starting Jun 25, 26, 27. (PT as well?)

Where / When / What
- quality of thinking / explain why they are doing it?
 starting point for research

Physical examples of CARDs - some in learning zone

Manifestos - send samples to j.durrant@rave.ac.uk

External examiners visiting 26 Feb

Concept and Prototyping - developing ideas
- work out how much you can achieve

Whats going on in the building?

Daero - how are you going to test your ideas

Lots of questioning, testing the idea - needs to know other artist and designers ideas

Being systematic. Jake - The future belongs to those who roll up their sleeces

Is there a danger in forgetting how to make, to just be cerebral. The connection between the mind and the hand.

Keep drawing/problem solving. Keep thinking alive creative and being active

Research Proposal - Tutorials - May 8, May 15, May 26 - check with Britta
* Ideal time to ask further about construction of arguments/leading question
