Multi-tasking?


So, here I am..
I'm currently multi-tasking. I'm writing an entry in my blog, doing a SWOT analysis on myself (for a class that I feel is completely pointless), thinking about my Senior Project... project and trying to figure why one side of keyboard is slightly raised in comparison to the other side. So far I've managed to write a completely useless paragraph in my blog, found out that I seem to have more weaknesses than strengths and confirmed the fact that I actually don't know how to multi-task very well. I've also come to the conclusion that I use one side of the keyboard much more than the other (I need to start typing with more words that contain the letters L, K, J, M, P and various other symbols).

But I digress...


My Senior project is a series of photographs that discuss the feeling of Depersonalization. I'm creating diptychs (within a frame) that show both the body (which appears to stripped of life) doing a normal daily tasks and the mind in the form of a transparent body (or bodies) that is interacting with it’s surroundings, trying to reconnect with or build it’s own reality. I've shot a couple of times and have found the "mind" seems to just be hanging around, doing mindless things (mind the pun, however good it may be). The figure that represents the mind, needs more direction.
I have to put myself in that position again. When my mind drifts off, where exactly is it going? What is it doing?
Besides that I've been thinking of location. Should I be sticking to indoor where I have more control of the environment, or should I be shooting on location? I was thinking of taking this to the park, or the beach where the figures may have more things to interact with. Although I like the whole clinical, clean feel I get with indoor controlled shoots, I don't want to limit myself to just that quite yet. I need to experiment.

I'm shooting tomorrow night, so wish me luck. I might be back on later on ranting about how much I hate UNV301.

Cheers! X

Nadia I love your idea, you have a strong concept. It's very interesting and i think you are going in the right direction.

My advice, shoot shoot shoot shoot and experiment as much as you can. I mean different locations, different amount of yous ( hehe... that sounds weird but you know what i mean )

so keep at it ....

Hurray for no more torches ! I like the idea alot, I like the way you are expressing it. I just want to see weirder enviroments for sure.

So brainstorm to find places you can relate to that are visually stimulating.

How about magic planet ? hehe
