preparatory thoughts for my session tomorrow
With regard to Design in the context of Electronic Media programs
I am the director of an interdisciplinary Digital Media Studies Program. Curriculum development is constant and ongoing.
1.- My sense of self-worth is deeply tied to my making things, either by myself or with others.
2.- What is the radius or range for my interdisciplinarity?
3.- Can I play well with others?
4.- Can I understand my field deeply? historically? with vision?
5.- Can I understand someone else's field deeply? and how that field productively interfaces with mine?
6.- How can I subsume the voice I worked so hard to develop?
7.- Am I frightened or comforted by apparent schizophrenia?
8.- How do I feel if I create situations? If I create systems? If I create relationships?
