Research paper drafts, thoughts and tutorial with Gareth

The blog seems to have been neglected of late, but that’s actually not true. In an earlier lecture Jonathan mentioned that this reflective practice could happen in several ways. Since my time is currently taken up completely by my job, working on the Iridescent Alloys and my research paper, I haven’t been able to type out coherent thoughts into blogposts as often as I like. But I have been creating a reflective record in other ways, I have been noting things down in notebooks, scribbling and doodling ideas, and of course keeping my visual journal, all of which I will …

Finalizing the research paper — step 1

Finalizing the research paper — step 1

Post truth and public art were the two keywords my research began on. I even identified a research question in the previous blog post. I just finished reading Lee McIntyre’s book and it cemented the fact that the post-truth era is intriguing and very pertinent, and definitely something I want to include into my research.           So here’s the title and abstract I have so far, bear in mind that this abstract is the pre-completion abstract and will probably become more succinct once my paper is complete: Public Art in the Post-Truth Era A commentary on …

But often what happens is that when we finally arrive at our destination we lose the path that led us there. So, in order to avoid losing that train of thought I am creating this ongoing brainstorming post where I will keep updating findings. It has also led me to (finally!) formulate a loose research question. Onto the writing! Tentative research question (by tentative I mean it can be restructured but it won’t be …

Research paper brainstorming part 2

My research paper has not taken form as yet. It is still amorphous research and concepts. But I am moving forward with it. You could say I am electively burrowing down an endless rabbit hole. The study I engaged in since this morning was supposed to yield some substantial outcome, leave me with perhaps a solid working title. But all its done so far is spark more ideas in my head. But I won’t give in just yet. Here’s a link to the brainstorming I did this morning. It’s led me to more books and more ideas, but I see …
