CRIT FEEDBACK:
- What is the readers experience going to be when we’re not here to explain the concepts? - Does it need explanations or is it better off as a more abstract project - Does it matter if the reader doesn’t understand it? Our online experience is very different to what’s happening, we are unaware of what’s going on beneath the surface Sections do not need to be defined Sections did feel similar, some of the sections can be approached in a different manner. Only polarisation felt like the really obviously ‘different’ theme - Approach sections differently in terms of how we use the imagery to provide more contrast between them Celebrate all imagery/research, not just the points we think are going to be visually interesting (less curation on rabbit holes, let the machine do the work and don’t direct the algorithm to specific avenues we think are going to ‘be more interesting’) - Very similar patterns: ‘our lives as data’ from different angles Create portraits of people using just data, photographs of people aren’t necessary as we have all the information present in a different form (Reminds me of genes and DNA, information portraits) - Cyprus girl: portrait of her life through social media - Made people question and think about things that previously wouldn’t be a second thought when using the web Is it going to be printed or digital? - Makes no sense for it to be a digital project commenting on digital spaces - Having it printed gives a space between the internet and ourselves, allows us to question and reflect on the Internet whilst being separate from it- easier to do this? - Having it printed adds to the obscurity also Where is someone going to pick this book up and look at it? Who is the audience? Is it for other graphic designers to look at or does it serve a purpose or meant to be found by a wider audience - Graphic designers and design work can exist in a vacuum, do we want to break out of this? Look at Trevor Paglen, artist that works on surveillance and computer reading images - Exhibition on AI photography flowers and trees, London - Would be nice to have the contrast like this in the design, be more expressive If it’s about provoking question, be more elaborate/abstract with the way it’s designed would feed into this well - Spending next week to hone in on the aesthetic of the book Look at physicality’s of the book, how will it be bound? - If using French folds, perfect bind is the only option - Things like stock and bind will be determined on practicality Tate artist, tracked everyone’s faces on CCTV, need name of artist Cover should be a good summary of the overall project - Coded cover, name of book hidden within code? Cover as an action, content speaks for itself but the cover/name encapsulates the reasoning/action behind the book In contrary, stay less direct/be more abstract with title, does it need a title? Does it need anything on cover? Reflects the ‘behind’ liminal space of the internet - Humans are out the loop in terms of curating the web - Curated by Google, the way we experience the internet is curated by a machine not the other way round - we are the product, there’s no ownership The less explaining we do with the cover and audience interaction/experience of the book, the more fun we can have with the design. Gives us creative freedom to represent the themes, then it’s down to the reader to interpret it how they want - The aim is to encourage perplexity? -Project has integrity, it’s all justified and explained really well, we don’t need to bring this reasoning into the cover/title
