Practicum Project

"Sixth College's Practicum is a mandatory upper-division requirement that engages students in the creative process. To graduate from Sixth College, you must initiate, plan, and execute a Practicum project that connects your classroom-based experiences and knowledge to the outlying community, while at the same time exploring the interplay of culture, art, and technology" (University of California, San Diego, Sixth College).

If there was a key to unlock what goes inside my mind, I would be complete.

12/26/06 (rambling/thoughts)

Kitsune.Suzuki has been making videos and posting them online for her virtual friends to see. A couple people has asked her if the girl in the video is really her.
Responding is delayed...it is so difficult to act out as a different person.

My intent is to have people in this virtual space interact with Kitsune.Suzuki in order to be part of this collaborative performance piece of mine (without knowing). I would of course display my viewers/participants/collaborators at the end of Spring quarter that I am in fact creating a hypertext story and of course giving them credit as well.

Lately, it feels as though I am being controlled by a character I have created.
I am not really sure if this makes sense, which is why I need to take a break and think more deeply about what this piece is about and how it relates to culture, art and technology. What does it tell about us humans.

Additionally, truth/memory gets extremely manipulated. I believe we exist and try to remember our memories through fabricating them.
(just like special effects in movies).

I need to start thinking about the beginning, middle and an ending to this fabricated identity/story.

This is a senior project.
I know...it doesn't make much sense right now.
