II. THE TASK

The task ahead of each group for Saturday March 31 is:

Come up with a strong and well-researched, well-organised  presentation that deals with the following two aspects:

Analyze
a. Animism, foundations of a belief system
b. How it has Influenced practice in design

Let your research be powerfully VISUAL in nature,with appropriate NOTES.

When you look at animism, connect it to cultures that practice it and THEIR ARTEFACTS. So collect images of artefacts and see how the belief has been manifested in which way in the design of these artifacts.

Then go on into modern artefacts in whose design you see aspects of animism manifesting.

You must try to come up with varied understandings of how you see animism as having contributed to the design of these artefacts.

Don't panic about level of understanding - just dig deep into the subject, live it and breathe it and analyse it in terms of artefacts.

Also, each presentation must SOURCE its material. For instance, if you have taken an excerpt from some Internet article - footnote it in the presentation. Or have a bibliography slide where the name of the book and author and publisher, or title of article and magazine in which it appeared and date of publication, or URL are recorded. This helps others to reference the same material you have come upon.

Let's get rockin' and rollin'. Ciao!
