Thoughts On Ted Lectures and The First Day Of Cress

During today's workshop we viewed three to four short lectures from the website called TED. From what i can remember there was a interesting lecture about putting friends in a jar, I can't remember how he has done it but he may of used a projector to make it seem like they are stuck inside the jars and i am sure he has told his friends to do a few actions. Also another thing i would like to talk about is a project by Noah Kalina he is a photographer but the project he has done which caught my attention was his self portraits, Noah took photos of himself everyday for the last twelve years. This is the project in question.



I thought that this was pretty amazing, sticking to a project for almost twelve years, i would like to do something like this but there might be a high chance of me missing a day for some reason. Though also it is interesting to see someone change slowly before your eyes and see how they grew/turned into that particular person. Which leads me on to the next project i would like to talk about, just today as a group we have been told to document cress, viewing it everyday and see what and how it changes, I would like to present to you Day 1.


As i made my way back home from Homebase in Newark, which i might add i had an adventure trying to find a single packet of cress seeds. I don't really have much to report on at the minute since they are only just been planted this afternoon but as you can see they are sitting in damp cotton wool and somewhat slowly growing. I have also taken a 34 second video of the seeds, i plan on adding all of the videos at the end and add it with music.
