notes |
(1) this camera is probably one of the best gifts anyone has ever given me.
(2) thinking about what it means to draw a machine - what does the act of drawing do?
(3) how it’s a drastically different relationship to capturing reality than using a camera phone
(4) what if i turned this into a digital interactive object - with a relationship to reality. what can it do?
(5) what this object is actually about — reality & representations of reality
