Drawing the diagrams has been very illuminating and facilitated the thinking process (of course) (Connection; Out of Our Heads by Alva Noe)
In working through the trajectory diagram I realised the resistance in me to put pen to paper. On discussion with theoneandonly he clarified in my resistant babbling, "so it doesn't say what you want it to"?. Exactly. However in the by the 4th iteration I had clarified the groupings from 'what brought you here' as in both intrinstic and circumstantial occurences, to the ideas that brought me to the module and then to groupings organised around facets of myself as both the work and the worker in my career. The idea of scale was interesting; should it be bigger if the force of its pull is bigger e.g to be an artist or bigger if it represents a bigger the number of people in the network of involvement e.g the whole world, to collaborating, to teaching possibly. Or in terms of financial remuneration? (hahahha teeny bubbles:.))
All in all I grasped the idea of taking a position and a perspective via the diagrams in order to process and move forward. it doesn't mean you don't have multiple points of view but trying to occupy all simultaneously is overwhelming.
I tried to heed the advice "don't try and include everything'!. I reneged however in my "The Whole World' bubble in order to represent my standpoint when at my most passionate. The idea of connecting on a level of global level and also the influence of 'out there, in reality, in the furthest reaches of consciousness, in life at its most potent, complex and diverse, in a way that includes and embraces all things as informing and containing essential knowledge' is encompassed by the term "The Whole World'
Need to learn how to work the programme that draws diagrams so that I do not have to resort to prit-stick again, for shame ....I get the impression lo-fi is not as cool in S.T as it is in the artworld.
