Day one of mid semester break. started the day with 13 hrs of sleep this is more then what I normally get over a 5day period. Not bad but I think maybe too So before this week ends like most others I have a lot of school work to go through not because it has to be done [well yes] but because I want to finish it with time to reflect on it before I submit it. Studies requires that I submit something.....the topic be related to sustainability.....My approach is to forecast into the psychology of consumerism. Yeah, why? it isn't gonna change a thing. So I'm frustrated by this because day by day I look around and am flooded by the lazyness of people [not all] but a good number of people just don't seem to care. Things such as having a cigarette next to a trash bin and not placing it in there after woods but rather to flick onto the ground.... Or eating food in public places it’s like the food packaging is a bio hazard! I'm realising now two things what sort of person am I and how I contribute to the greater scheme of things? What sort of a designer will I be? Should these be separate roles or should they be one and the same? Well I'd like to think that I contribute positively to consumerism and a more sustainable practice of life encompassing many types of philosophies, though I fear that no matter how pure actions are they eventually are corrupted by greed and money. Like when did things become so complicated or lost or have they always been this way and I have been so blind to see. If I was to transform my ideas and thoughts at present into some form of theatre I'd dare say it would be fairly grim and confused... I enjoy the spoils of digital technology but I detest at which rate we consume them, like the manufactures so smartly drip feed the capability of technology but deceive the masses with new form and features almost on a daily basis and we [the masses] can't get enough. It’s like we are happy to pay for nothing. This is also relies much on groups such as rebels, originals, conformists and Individuals. Like it’s nice to be able to have a multi functional media communication medium that is intuitive, sexy and small. On the other hand It's also nice to do the old prehistoric things of taking an SLR camera and shooting some pics then not knowing what you have done till the negatives have been processed you could even take part in that activity not have someone else do it for you. Maybe I'm just repeating a lot of what other people have said, though nothing seems to change. Where it bothers me is that I'm studying in an area that holds so much for me as I love to play with form and material science. So I can add to problem of repacking nothing or stand on my morals and not partake in it...More so do I add to the problem or offer new perspectives? I'm free of everything but yet I feel valid only with borders and regulations.
