What I did this week
With everything that’s happening in the world recently I want to make a contribution. So moving slightly away from social relationship with technology. I want to look at the political role US technology plays in the UK.
However, when I was talking about this with my supervisor I was concerned I would get swept up in the idea and lose sight of my dissertation. It could be better to pick something a little more controlled and just pick a piece of technology and take it to the extreme. But my supervisor pointed out that there was overlaps. That I could look at current US tech dominance and push it to the extreme (ironically in hindsight I think we are already at the extreme end of the scale).
Notes I need to remember:
Technical part of the project
- Have interaction in the final piece whether it be sensors or something else that involves coding
- Blend current skills with new skills (I would really like to do something with Blender and Projection mapping)
