When I first tired to post this it got and error and it was deleted so here it goes again.
When reading my feedback a question was posed as to "what" I was trying to say with the work I've shot lately. Or even just in general. And to tell you the truth right now I am done with thinking about that. I feel as though it is crippling. I can't produce work, or even produce blogs when I think that way. I feel so behind in just gathering my thoughts for this body of work. Where am I going, what am I doing. Why is it that I can sit and read, and when its time for me to write about what it is I've been thinking about I freeze. Total blank.
Paul said something to me that was really inpirational, or at the very least it help to lift some of the anxiety that I have been feeling. The truth is i don't need to know what it is that I'm trying to say, I don't need to focus so acutely on a subject. Part of the reason I feel i was so stuck is that I was so anxious about producing intelligent work that I have officially psyched myself out. So in order to remedy the cycle that I have put myself in I've decided to stop thinking. Well only figuratively. But I think part of my problem is that I was thinking in circles. Coming up with ideas and instantly shooting them down. Doing research then disregarding it.
So in tern I am determined this weekend/week to pick up the pace and well, redeem myself.
So Ideas:
Part of why I started this whole project in the being was to explore my person fixation with the Television and computers. I find that when I am watching TV I tend to get tunnel vision and selective hearing. This zombie like instinct seems so strange to me since I really don't like TV a whole lot and did not even grow up with cable. I've noticed similar behaviors in my roommates too. In particular Tyler, he can sit and play video games for hours. and the only times he gets up is for the bathroom ro to have a cigarette. So I want to shoot him. See how is posture changes (if it does) and his movements and interaction with the work.
