futurology outcomes & feedback

outcomes!!!
considering how long it took me to get into this project, i'm really really surprised at how decent it turned out.
due to the nature of this project, i was finding it really difficult to translate the feeling of being out of touch in a way that was clear enough for people to understand. for some reason i kept trying to come up with this amazing picture that would say exactly what i wanted to say but i work better in sequence and it took my friend saying "why don't u just do a zine?" for any of this to start making any sense.
so i made a zine. i love zines! they make my life s o  m u c h  e a s i e r.
because i virtually had a week to do this project, i made a gif as my second outcome, animating one of the already existing pages on the zine. two ladies together in their physical form but struggling to connect emotionally - hence the heads moving away from each other. i mean, it's pretty basic but it does the job i think.
for my third outcome matt suggested i did some creative writing. scary! but such a good idea. again i didn't have that much time and the poem i wrote ended up bringing everything together and providing some context. in the exhibition it worked well because it allowed people to do some unpicking and discovering. quite liked the idea of people engaging with the text and making sense of the imagery that way.

!feedback!
"love the poem and use of a range of media"
"lovely colours + textures! topic is very relevant + has been portrayed in a very nice way, sort of gentle + sad"
"so beautiful, heartfelt"
"lovely personal subject matter, & looks f a b u l o u s"
"so beautifully and carefully made. really emotional and real"

overall i think im okay with the outcomes i've produced. considering how difficult i found this and the amount of time i had to do it after being stuck for so long, i think i did okay at translating this idea of being out of touch. the feedback i received was helpful in validating that, especially because i was really worried people wouldn't understand what it was about. could have been better if i had more time but leaving it so late gave me the push to just trust my intuition. need to trust myself more!
