Update on duties lol

hI NONEXISTENT READERS OF MY BLOG

So I’ve pretty much presented in 6 classes total if you include two of my drawing classes, the DIVA course, and the presenting rampage I undertook last Thursday.

Two teachers did not respond and one preferred to tell the class herself.  Whatever!  You people missed out on my razor sharp presentation abilities, which are massively improved over the one I did last week in DIVA300 or whatever that class is called.  Now I’m a god.

Presenting has been a hugely time consuming activity because it requires me to linger around the school a lot, and my time is seriously precious to me these days.  What a sacrifice!

An update on my duties

October 15, 2009

Here you go:

I’m working with Simon to organize the technical requirements for IF09.  Emails!

I’m researching some stuff on the side for Julie Andreyev.  Emails!  Phone calls!

I’m presenting in 300/400 level classes regarding the upcoming concourse gallery exhibition today (3 presentations today) and over the next week.  Cutoff got moved to NEXT FRIDAY.!  Time consuming stuff, I have to lurk around the school a lot so I can hit these classes at convinient times.

I’m generally a pretty shabby presenter but today was a breakthrough!  I kicked @ss, great stuff!  The only problem was that my fly was down but I don’t think anyone noticed, LOL

Otherwise my job is steadily ramping up in intensity.  Having to linger around the school to do these presentations is a pretty big hassle.  I had one at 9:30AM already, and I have one at 12:30 and 3:30 as well.  What will I do all day?  I’ve already updated THE BLOG, but what next?

DIVA300 SCOPE OF WORK REPORT

if-09

My internship with the Interactive Futures 09′ team will have me work with Julie Andreyev, Erdem Tasdelen and Simon Overstall. I will help organize, curate and set up a proposed Concourse exhibition as well as the Interactive Futures 09′ Festival November 19-21, 2009. I will convene with the IF 09 team in a meeting every two weeks.

My initial role is to assist Curatorial Assistant Erdem with a proposed Concourse exhibition called Stereo. I will be responsible for helping to scout out student submissions and setting up the work in the gallery.  I may be involved with several other duties such as determining of the physical limitations of the Concourse gallery, an inquiry necessary for understanding if the requirements of the work being selected for the gallery can be met, as well as deciding which student submissions will be appropriate for the gallery theme. I will also work closely with IDS Technician Simon Overstall to prepare the tech for the IF 09 Festival. My duty will involve setting up hardware and wiring, and might also involve working with software such as MAX/MSP.

I intend to gain management experience by assisting with the curatorial duties of the gallery and the festival. Through attending the administrative meetings and engaging with the critical processes involved I intend to develop an understanding of organizing and managing a large scale festival. I am looking to augment my limited ability working with electronic hardware setups and MAX/MSP through working with Simon. I would like to further refine my ability to interact with strangers charismatically through scouting for student submissions and assisting attendees of the IF 09′ Festival. I am also interested in improving more general skills such as collaboration, research and investigation, and communication skills.
