first week – names and ClickSneaks

Week 1 – blog name chosen, – moduar moves – which happen to become name of  thesis project as well, at least for now. Thesis semester started off with class meeting Monday 18 Jan. Very good… we are having weekly meetings where we present our individual projects, very informal in its format, and we give each other feedback / critique. Personally, those meetings are super valuable, they give structure on 20 weeks of solo work.

Blog set up… class meeting held… met my adviser as well, Kristina Lindström. Thinkering of experiment, directions  came up with the model “cycle of sth” – will present it more in detail later on… beside logging thoughts and activities, examples of wearables will be presented, selections of what will become, and be part of my “collection of examples”. Mapping the area of wearables is one main reason of gathering examples; another reason is of course for inspiration; and in this project I´ll use the design examples in the process. First week – first post – first example:

ClickSneaks – Despina Papadopoulos, Studio 5050 with Thomas Gregotiandes (2005). My ambition is as well to use “critique techniques”, do close “readings” of examples, – though, playfulness and simplicity will do for now.
