For all the right reasons.

I have to admit, I’m ambiguous about technology. I’m attracted to novelty and yet, I find it gimmicky a lot of the times.  I looked at the hug shirt, and the signaling bike jacket and scent dispensing dress and felt a sort of a tickle, like when someone is spinning a story and I’m not quite buying it. I get the avalanche jacket,  and maybe the soft keyboard, but no edible, implantable permanent techno/body interface. It freaks me out! Where do we stop? Anyone?

Diving off the deep end

The first week of classes behind me, and still in a more than a bit of a shock.

A couple of months ago I innocently went to student services to snoop around and familiarize myself with the environment of this institution. Before I knew what I was doing, I registered for 2 summer courses. Not the best way to ease in, but , I figured I might as well. A day into each of these classes I realized the extent of kaka I’m in. My inner superwoman wakes up here, and tells me that I’m not dropping any classes, and that I’m going to just figure it out.

I’m super excited about all everything new I will be encountering, learning, making.

I keep in mind a couple of brilliant insights my weaving instructor at Cap, Ruth Scheuing, shared with me:

1) When you have less to do, sometimes you just do less

2) You are in art school to learn, explore and stretch, you are not expected to create your most brilliant work

I have been doing less for a couple of months now and am ready to stop.

Looking forward to all.
