Nobody knows what I'm on about.
No body knows what I'm on about but I s'pose that really just mirrors the fact that I don't know myself. My head is a mess. This blog is primarilly for uni-for those unaware-and so I post mainly from frustration, occassionally with revelation.
Studies is meant to take you out of your comfort zone, have you recognise the rhyzome that is life and ok, it's doing that but it's a head trip.
A couple of weeks ago we watched an entire movie about four millionaires who were attempting to commit suicide through over indulgence of food. Entirely in french, the subtitles provided a slight distraction from the sex scenes and the massive consumption of mashed potato. The relevance? French cuisine-not relevant to me. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the film. Not because it was oscar quality but it initiated conversation. The kind of conversation not derived from standard hollywood films. But the question of it's relevance (is that not what class is?) was what puzzled me.

suppose you had the task of making 60 minds radically creative. then suppose what was stopping them from making this change themselves was their belief system - they had strong feelings about the right way, and were very focussed upon not appearing silly or sticking out.
so if you had to do this from the outside - what could you do? you could show them the way the world really is. and keep hammering away with an exposure to radically differnt - from their everyday experiences. and slowly they become less dogmatic - and their brain, their though processes unfreeze ..
a decade later when they practice design they stand out in their little community - they can come up with radically different ways of doing something. thats when this education begins to make sense.
its not all skills - that kills your mind. design then becomes drudgery.
and you kelly can do it.
