Process Video of digital exploration of the Urdu letter meem / م (“m”)
Meeting with Evy
- Exploring letters as a system – iterating within that system; consider your system and establish ways in which that system can be hacked perhaps
- Perception of letters and images; interpretation of letters
- Play around with combinations and pairs with images – different images with the same letters etc.
- Drawing letters with grids and visual systems – experiment with images
- Consider methods and positions: personal connect to letterforms; meaning and media being used
- Perhaps a DIY book – drawing letterforms; iterations as embedded within the book
Feedback
- Deconstruction and video as a way of learning
- Categories of words and foregrounding – make the hidden more visible
- Perhaps a set of “meta instructions” – set of posters or animation
- Add more context and descriptions
- Consider the diary or personal apsects
- Meaning as changing through visual contexts – dictionary and language as not being fixed, personal – what you’re learning, what is being learnt etc.
- Reference: Persepolis – themes: the inculcation of language as ideology and childhood. Adhocism: learning from trial and error
