Paris Photo – Day Three

Sunday 11.11.18

Portfolio review was really useful, not just for comments by tutors and peers, but also to see and talk about other people’s work. A lot to follow up in forthcoming posts and making images. Message for me is to draw together the work I have been doing into a coherent portfolio (that can include different forms/genres of work, but with an overarching rationale). Jesse suggests submitting a PDF to allow more control over the presentation, as I have demonstrated that I can use an online portfolio in the first module. Can also include an introduction (around 200 words). Must show development of photographic work, and relate to the focus of the module (for instance, audiences). Lots of references in relation to other people’s work to follow-up.

‘It makes no sense to ask what entropy ‘is’, as though it was possible to find in this protean signifier a transcendent signification. Instead we must ask what it meant to whom, for what reasons, in what context, and with what consequences.’

N. Katherine Hayles (1990), Chaos Bound: Orderly Disorder in Contemporary Literature and Science. Ithaca: Cornell University Press.

‘Most London business occurred in plain view. Chaucer’s London is a very public city, a place where people mingle together in crowded thoroughfare’s, where they post and publish their inner thoughts and broadcast them aloud, where different forms of street theater flourish, and where public presentation of the self far overwhelms any gestures toward privacy or inwardness. Whether in small lanes and byways, or in processional and ceremonial places like Cheap, in places of assembly like St Paul’s Cross or in taverns and bakeshops, Londoners rub elbows with one another. More to the present point, they socialize’
