This week’s meeting was an informal discussion of the readings, general considerations about field methods, and conversations about individual student projects.
I had the distinct feeling that some students were bored…
after Kristy and Karlo presented the readings, I gave an overview of interviewing, focus groups, domestic technologies autobiographies, domestic technologies tours, creative exercises, and performance research using personas and scenarios.
we then discussed some of the students’ projects and brainstormed about possible methods for tackling the research.
In the last quarter of an hour of class, Bianca introduced us to Wheelerwood Oppewall, a filmmaker using SL to screen and promote his and others’ work.
he invited us to sit in one of his screening rooms and watch his short films.
he also gave us invitations to join his group, Wheelerwood Films, through which we will receive announcements on his upcoming events.
