WEEK 11

1. What does Maeda call the 3 keys?
Away:
"More appears like less simply by moving it far, far way"

Open:
"Openness simplifies complexity"

Power:
"Use less, gain more"

2. Describe how you have used these in your work towards UPHERE? Give at least one example of each key.
1.Away – completing task within time frame and within allocated facility will decrease the potential of the individual so I tried to work after hours and even working in my own space with my own equipment. Even if I do not complete the task during UNI hours I take that task to my home and work on my own computer to finish it on time.

2. Open – Being open to the working group and letting them know about the progress of work as well as asking for their suggestion is major factor to complete work on time and without misunderstanding.


3. Power – Among all work present only one work which is outstanding. I tried to present two of my work among all those which I created during the semester. The power of outstanding work will be notified and grab attention rather than presenting all those less interesting work.

3. Describe an incident in the production of UPHERE where technology has been an enabler…. and another where it has been a disabler!

Technology itself some time becomes enable and disabler in unknown ways. For example transferring the stored data from JVC Pro via USB cable consumes more time than FIREWIRE cable.

I realized this during the production period. Also frequent crashes of Final cut pro and loosing file creates frustration but on other hand final cut pro gives more flexibility to manipulate the video project beyond imagination.

4. At this stage in the exhibition process you are all working on some element or process for the big event. List 3 things (in your current project) that you could take away to simplify and one thing you could add for meaning.

Three things to take away is as follows

1. Knowledge: everything we learned during this semester will definitely help us in future to secure our career.

2. Iweb: Format and procedure to develop website will help us to update our status by ourself on our own time.

3. Experience: All these experience will count on work force.

One thing to add for meaning will be looking forward to get enroll for next semester.
