Culture Mission

Personal Data Tracking

Why I chose this as my second mission...

After reading all the different choices for the culture missions I knew straight away that this was the one I wanted to research more.
Before starting this mission I knew absolutely nothing about personal data tracking or even what it meant, but once I started to brainstorm on it I realized it would be a very interesting topic, as well as one that could help your daily life.

The first thing I looked at was my phone. I did this to find out what type of data I could find and track using my phone. This was when I decided I would base my part of the mission on data found on your phone.
I looked into my settings and found "Apple Screen Time". I chose to keep track of my screen time over one week. I wanted to do this to one, show my class that your phone keeps track of everything you do on it and how long you use it but also, educate myself on how much I use my phone and certain apps.

Another reason I chose to base my mission on data found on your phone was that it always was a shock to me that apps such as Google maps can tell exactly where you are. I wondered how this was possible.

After starting my research for this mission I am glad this is the one a chose to work on. Many of the questions I had before on personal data have been answered and I look forward to presenting to my class.

Methodology Mission  Image Visualisation Why I chose this? At first I had no idea what image visualisation even meant but I knew it sounded interesting. After reading through the mission briefs on the CDM website this one stood out the most to me. It stood out the most for a number of reasons, the first being that I could really do what I want when it came to this mission . For example I could chose the types of images I would work with aswell as the different tools I would use.  Another thing was that it was up to me how I wanted to display my images and what point I wanted to get across. It was interesting to me that images can mean so many different things just by the way they are shown. I wanted to understand this more and think about things from a different perspective. I wanted to show people that we can think outside the box sometimes and tell or show things in different ways.  I knew the outcome of this mission had to the a video and believed th...

Methodology Mission  Image Visualisation Reflection  When I think back on how the mission went I am happy with the results. I liked how each of our different ways to visualise images turned out and also am happy with how our video turned out.  Although I am quite happy there are a few things I would change if I was to do it again. First off, I would have loved to follow through with our first selfie idea. This would mean I need more time to gather the images included throughout the video. One thing I would make sure to do next time is allow myself extra time to put the final video together as the editing took way longer than expected. I would also show many more ways of visualisation to give people a better understanding. I would also look further into artists and there few on image visualisation and look for techniques they use. I found it difficult to work in a group as we all had different timetables and were not always free at the same time....
