Friday meeting (week 2) (Moving on towards our own ideas)

Every Friday, our group has a meeting with one of the tutor's for our course (our tutor is Sarah), and the main reason for this meeting is to show where we are in the project. For myself, in the first meeting, I had researched 5 artists so far and had looked at their influences and interests. Once all of our group showed what we had done, we got told to come up with 3 ideas/concepts to base our ideas on and develop on, and then in the following week we would choose 1 of these concepts to take forward. Throughout the week I had one topic which was based on the city being labelled, in particular, I looked at Bradford. I wanted to show that even though it is labelled 'The City of Film' in the UK, there is more to Bradford such as its countryside, moors, asian residency, cultural and industrial heritage etc.  My second topic was influenced by Banksy's and Shephard Fairey's work. This was to campaign about a satirical subject. After coming up with 2 topics, I had difficulty thinking of the last one, and so to help me think of one I listened to a podcast which our tutor (John) told us listen to. The podcast was called 'Urban' from the 'Digital Human' series by BBC Radio 4. It talked about how every week, a million more people move to live in cities and whether 'smart' cities are the answer to the city's constant expansion. After listening to the podcast, I came up with the topic of technology bringing a change into life (modernism). much part of the design as the bricks and mortar.
