Monday 11/9
Came to class today to get informed on what my group was planning on doing and to get into the assignment. We we’re supposed to get feed-back on the ideas we had, but since I had none the time didn’t feel all that rewarding. My own fault i admit but I really don’t feel tha passion I should for it. All I can think is why, why, why……………..why are wehaving this course. What is the purpose? And why are we not learning anything, or even getting what we’re supposed to learn.
Meeting with the group at 9.30 tomorrow to get started with the project. It sounded OK. Let’s see where this takes us
Thursday 7/9 New beginnings
This lecture was interesting but still had a hard time remaining concentrated…… Every day that passes makes it more and more difficult to find the energy to want to continue. But I know that I have to. I had a hard time finding the meaning of their projects and how they got hired for realising their ideas……
But what do I know…… After the lecture I went to the page on webzone to see if the list about our course litterature, but was unable to find it. I feel that the terrible lectures that seem to have been prepared for about 5 minutes, need some books that you can turn to for inspiration. Or at least som films or ducumentaries. Another thing that affects my thoughts about this course is that the original schedule says we are going between 9-16 or even 18, and when we sometimes have as little as 45 minutes instead it makes you wonder. It takes longer than that to travel to and from school………..

Monday 4/9 UGLYCUTE
Today the lecture was about objects called uglycute. Their ideas were simple and about criticising the general idea that some things are more beautiful than others. They work through workshops and different exhibitions throughout the world. Their main concept is to use simple materials in minimalistic designs. I thought it it to be a very clever idea even though it didn’t really match my own opinion about what is interesting. I like when things have clever little things to them and are colourful instead of being as simple as possible. i definitely agree on their opinion of criticising the common thoughts about good and bad design.
We we’re also asked to join then in a workshop and create something low-tech, surprising and helpful in our future profession. I was surprised to find that we only had an hour of lectures and would like to see more hours put into this or at least to be given something to read for inspiration. Some new titles to discover. But all in all it’s been a good day and the lecture was a good one. I look forward to seeing the different ideas tomorrow.
