Seminar 1: Exploring Themes


During the first Context of Practice seminar today, I created two lists pertaining to various aspects of technology and history. I swapped my history suggestions for another's culture list and combined these ideas with my own technological ones for illustration prompts. Here is what I came up with during the afternoon session:







I had some very vague and rather quite difficult prompts to work with, but this allowed me to have creative freedom with my concepts. My favourite of the 10 suggestions was Advancement Jazz, which I selected to construct further illustrative ideas and really go crazy with how Jazz instruments and music could be advanced using technology. I liked Reggae Keyboard as well, but ultimately chose the jazz theme as I imagine this description can be quite limiting - there are only so many ways a keyboard can be drawn with a reggae twist and the results would be monotonous. With Advance Jazz I was able to really go wild with some of the collaborative elements of musical instruments and technology.
