A day of robotics at Kings – testing and talking – as ever I've come away with a note book full of words I didn't know existed and
concepts that I have to reflect on. There was a wonderful moment when a room
full of PhD students were fiddling with our creations – you could see their
minds making connections and making sense, their sense.
A conversation about testing how the structures we have
built affects its environment - (moving them in a tank of floating particles
and observing how the particles move) connected with a thought I have had about
the space a book inhabits – where does a book begin and end and could one cast
that space? This led to the idea of working in negative space and the idea of
searching for a place of not knowing. As a strategy I have realised that during
this project if I am working on something and its becoming familiar I tend to
move away from it into a place of not knowing. Lots of learning is taking
place.
