-
Active documentation answers theses questions: what, why and how?

What

  • interrogation of what I'm doing
  • what contextual info can I find to support the making process
  • use a blog to document what I'm making
  • documents questioning and decision making
How
  • at the same time as your making at the same time critiquing and analysing what you're doing
  • parallel reflection
  • take photos of work in process
  • make sketches
  • studies
  • close ups
  • use these for documenting
  • evaluate what is worth pursuing or not
  • make links with theory
  • note where you need to do more research
  • write things down as you work to be put in blog later
  • record decisions
Why
  • capture accidental progresss or problematic blocks
  • record failures
  • aids in development of project
  • it provides evidence of thinking
  • keeps clarity as your project progresses
  • aids in developing focus
  • locates the context of your work
  • show theoretical orientations
Reflecting: on what went right or wrong, how did I feel when making it and afterwards, did it happen as expected? How did other people view it?
