What brought you here? Where are you going after?

I was so intrigued by what cellular automata is and how it could be just a way to learn and see things with a different perspective ? I wasnt necessarily looking to see things differently but it always sort of takes you there when you are fascinated by something and CA was definitely that for me > the seeing rules everywhere now or CA

Something you would want to have happened differently? How would you want it to have happened?

Maybe more classes - something we spoken about! But there is something about cellular automata that was great for more interaction between everyone! And the research element for example would have been a great element to incorporate but which we didnt have enough time -

I really loved all the content - and perhaps if there wasnt so much pressure to incorporate everything -

Something you would want to do again or more? What made you feel like that?

I dind’t do enough with materials - like knitting - this is something I’d like to sit down and explore more and do more!

We didn’t do it but play with bacteria, mold and so on - maybe food - fermentation - i dont know how this would be incorporated in Ca

What was your worst and best memory of each week?

I overthink a lot - all the time! Which is something i cope with but which makes things unnecessarily overwhelming - i remember people sharing how it their head was messy and they were some of my favourite moments !

And yes defo seeing everyone’s work - it was very inspiring and I learnt so much!

Wait - are there cellular automata rules on play while we are interacting? Surely the interactions we had are a form of neighbour - behaviour —-

Would you share a moment that you felt lost and one that you felt creative?

Struggling w this one - outline was defo a bummer -

Creative moments - feelings were quite sporadic - I felt very inspired every week - and I had never considered inspiration w creativity until maybe now? Always seen creativity as the process in the middle and end but not the inspiration part

Do you feel you have made a new connection? With people, subject, practice, idea, etc... Have you deconstructed one?

Yes with the subject of cellular automata and the many subjects that came through it - been able to see things with cellular automata feels like when you absorb something you identified with -

The idea of the what could be considered insignificant - like microbes, the things our senses cannot perceive - are so fascinating - makes me feel more grounded !

Did you see any peer work or works that caught your attention?

Jochem’s work experimenting in paper -

Nay words work

Hayley motion knitting - fascinated by animation made with physical materials

Eric’s painting

I cannot remember them all - will get back to this

I think i could easily make a mind map of everyones work and interconnect them w something i am interested in
