And what a weekend! Burn marks and frozen dreams. Never-ending bustrips and lost friends on the way. Back to school the additional work waits with new assignments. A lot of work as usual, a lot to reflect on, take in, breath out, waste a little time, die a little. Now where will this eventually lead? Hopefully somewhere splendent! But for now back to here and here. The new topic is Visual Communication. Let's see where this will lead, Hilde thinks.
So a new chapter has certainly started. All different module. A different president (one to really hope for). A new way of seeing things. A new way of handling them. And even a new haircut... So what about it? In school Hilde and her classmates are all about being innovative and writing business plans. Trying to be all grown up. Hard to leave Neverland, she guesses! And why do you have to really? Sure we all grow up, at least on the outside. But what if you refused on the inside?
The last module: Experience Technology had a sweet ending in Stockholm at the exhibition that Hilde and her classmates attended. She felt it was a great success but also extremly exhausted afterwards and glad to be back home again. So Hilde rested for a few day and tried to get back on track again as the new module started at school this time about Concept and development. It's about coming up with a innovative business idea and then at the end of the module, try to sell it For Real. See how that goes. So from 50 ideas to 5 to The actual one, that's what we have been working on for the last week. And also been given different tools from different lecturer on how to come up with good ideas and how to pick out the best once based on some criterias. Yeahhh a lot to think about as usual.
He hey! Hilde feels a lot more calm now when things are really starting to look good with the Wii project. The motion graphic works like a charm! The digital arty world responds to the votive candles through the Wii remote. And the Wii remote responds to IR (infrared) light which votive candles emit. So you actually navigate through this big arty world with a real lantern containing two votive lights and simply explore things, like weird fantasy figures, buildings and other funny things. Here are some examples of the characters you will meet on the journey.
All this will take place at an exhibition in Stockholm next Friday, 24 of October. It's all about experiencing technology, and there will be a lot of other groups showing off their stuff as well. So in other words: A LOT OF FUN!
ENJOY!
Hilde took as usual the bike to school. Made a list on things to do this day. There were a lot of things to do today. Felt very stressed over the schedule. Missed her cellmates. Started to blog. Checked her mail frequently. Not much to see there. Waited for some illustrations to pop up. Wanted to start the animation process. Felt frustrated. Where's the darn illustrations? Started to think about the magazine article her group had to write. The deadline's tomorrow. Not at all stressed. Not at all. Now that was a lie! Also thought about the process follow up the group had to attend. Wondered what to say there. Frustration, frustration!!!!
"Monday's no fun, Tuesday's the same, Wednesdays I go out, at least something" But today's Tuesday, so same old same old! As usual Hilde's dead tired and got a lot to do, like written rapports, graphics, magazine articles, checking the projector, making things just work. And on the top of everything of course, there just have to be some distractions. Gahhh! Sometimes Hilde thinks
it would just be great not to think about a damn thing. Oh nothingness, oh sweet empty! But those days seem to be long gone away.
Ok! So, Hilde's up and running!
And as she said before in her prevous blog (!) her swiit group got the wii remote to experiment with! And so far so good! It's gonna be great, Hilde thinks! Mighty exciting.
