what i have
done

finished the plotparty from week 2

identified fascinations and made a decision for 3 of them to be explored during maker's lab

made a unlearning manifesto

reflection & collaborative learning

Readingweek was more of a study at home kind of time. So there has not happened a lot in the lab which was closed.

It felt a bit disruptive after all. At the same time it was nice to let the impressions from the previous weeks sink in and reflect on them.

Also the theoretical part, the readings gave some framing to the assignments which are about to come. The overall rebellious and "loud" approach of the presented projects doesn't reflect my personal plans, but we will see where it goes.

The bioplastics workshop was very nice. I tried different recipes with the others. The expertise of the other people being there helped.

assignment

Create a 1 A4 spread of your unlearning manifesto (with 5 bullet points) and post it on your Hotglue page. Read the list often to remind yourself of the things that are important for you to practice and get better at. Let them guide your decisions throughout the course.

Identify 3 fascinations with a material, a technique, a design process, a production method, a societal issue, a type of product, a trend, or other. Create a zine spread of 1 A4 for each fascination, showing and explaining in text and images what the fascination is about and why it tickles you.
