Media, Culture and Society

Media, Culture and Society

I recently got this book from the library because I believe it will help me understand the current society that we live in,  moreover help me understand the Marxist theory and how I could tie up social class within my final major project. 

Finally potentially something might derive from the book as a potential disobedient object.

An image below of what the front cover looks like.



Timeline

Timelines

Below I have posted two timelines, the first one is an overview of what I'll be doing during my first Term and the second one is of more detail to what I'll be doing each week up until the end of first Term.

Experimentation

Below are my experiments of mixed mediums.







Learning Curve

What I've Learnt

In recent weeks, I've been focusing my final major project in conjunction with projections and installations. 

Within the past 2-3 weeks I started to experiment with over head projections, digital projector and mixing the mediums with 3D visuals, after looking at recent outcomes I decided it is not right to start doing these mini experiments because they didn't give me a clear direction or a strategy to go with.

Nevertheless I'm not ruling out potentially using projections, or creating an installation, I just need to do more informative research to set up a strong question, in to why I'm doing my final major project? what's the purpose? and most importantly will my research potentially help in the future.

Finally going back to the poem I was looking at previously, 'London' by William Blake, I'm now going to focus my attention on London as one subject firstly, then try to find a disobedient object within London or possibly Britain from the past 30-50 years.
