WEEKLY REFLECTIONS

We had to systematically troubleshoot technical or design issues within our interactive platform, while ensuring that our research question, collected datasets, and module literature are embedded within the final portfolio.

We develop our practice by viewing our research through two distinct creative lenses: Practice That Represents and Practice That Responds. Then we present the current iteration of the project to a peer Feedback Team, actively seeking constructive critique on both the technical execution and the theoretical alignment of the work.

We were introduced to sensory ethnography, which is the idea of researching the world through how we physically inhabit and perceive it, rather than just what we can see or count.

We should focus on developing a clear research question and consider the kinds of data we need to answer those questions.

We brainstormed topics and ideas that we would like to explore for our digital artefact. We tried to make a connection between those topics and the project brief we had chosen. We also formulated an action plan and a reading list to further define our topic.

Yay! Today we met our randomly assigned group mates :)

Focused on building a branching interactive narrative game using Twine.

Understand the hardware behind digital media by engaging in "creative hacking" with Arduino microcontrollers.

Perform a practice-based investigation into the human-food ecologies of Leeds' historic Kirkgate Market by adopting a "digital ecologies" approach.

The primary objective of this workshop is to explore the co-construction of personal identity within a Generative AI environment.

Demystify the social media "black box" by tracing the lifecycle of our personal data through three critical stages: our initial input, the algorithmic output of our digital profiles, and using the Sumpter's matrix to process like an algorithm.

Presented the collected data from Workshop 4 in a visually understandable format using Microsoft Excel.

As a team, we developed a strategic approach to data collection for a class scenario, utilizing Microsoft Forms. This included carefully determining the target data and implementing methods to ensure the process was non-intrusive to participants.

Learnt how to scrape data from websites using WebScraper.io tool while observing the moral and ethical implications of data collection.

Getting to grips with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and setting up my website domain.
