My Take On The Concept Of DIWO

 

To first ‘Do It With Others’ firstly start from ourselves, to be open to new experiences, to be willing to learn from new perspectives, as well as the willingness to break boundaries. DIWO is a group effort, a collaborative process, therefore, each member is vital to not only contribute, as well as accepting unique and fresh ideas. As what Mr Garrett mention about taking an interest in different ideas, rather than attacking them, this will contribute to the effectiveness of being in a creative collaboration. At the end, DIWO allows us to develop outcomes that is unique to us and inevitably, inform our own practices and way of approaching new projects differently.

From what I learned what Mr Garrett mentioned in the lecture that “it is about being open to learning, to understand different form of thinking to inform our own practices”, that proves to be a powerful concept a DIWO process that we can benefit from. By exploring other practices, we are then able to engage in a multi disciplinary approach to creating even more unique work than what we could have done previously.

This represent of a multi disciplinary work where it is not just photography itself.

For example, being a product design graduate in Polytechnic, only makes me well informed about develop functional product, and nothing else.http://infolead.mobi/list/3232/industrial-design-tasty-on-furniture-with-95-best-bag-sketches-images-pinterest-product-sketch-11.jpg

 

However, ever since enrolling myself in ADM, being involve in graphic design and experimental interaction, it had inspires me to develop more possibilities in  developing more innovative product that is not only functional, yet also interactive and also more aesthetically pleasing.

On a micro level, the recent Mid Term for Experimental Interaction project, allows my group members to contribute unique and fresh ideas that resulted in us developing a experiential sleeping concept that I might have never thought of.

I never knew DIWO could even extend out to learning from people that are outside of the creativeindustry, such as refugees and hackers, mentioned in the online lecture.

Exploring outside of our own practices, allows more possibilities and opportunities, to develop even betterart! Upon witnessing how the concept of blockchain is used in an art direction, break my preconception that such a logical concept, can even be use as art. With that, it had inspire me to see the possibilities of taking ideas from fields such as the medical, engineering, automobile, mechanics, psychology, and many other professions, that can inform my own practices.
