Personal Creative Practice:
1) Reflect in a blogpost on your existing ways of working, and what these practices produce for you in terms of both opportunities and dilemmas in reference to your own portfolio project work-in-progress.
In terms of the first project for the portfolio project I have mentally divided different aspects of the creation of this artwork in different groups, these groups could be aesthetics, programming, hardware and sculpture. This way I can focus on specific tasks separately and each of this groups will finally become the whole project. These same tasks are also divided in different stages like for example research, realisation and documentation, and these form a timeline that draws the development of the project.
I find this way a well organised way to work and allows me to focus on different parts of the installation without being too overwhelming. In the other hand, I find that seeing these groups too independently may affect the cohesion of the whole artwork. At the end of the day this is an academic exercise which means that everything has to be documented in order to be assessed, that makes even more important to divide the project and the different tasks into different stages.
