Collaborative Group Dynamics

For “There is No AI” collaborative project our team did “Belbin” test for team role as our strengths, weakness and behavioral attributes identified by this test.Our group achieved some similar results as we are team workers, cooperative, resource investigator. For example,I am implementer as disciplines reliable, conservative , efficient, turns ideas into practical actions systematic approach into reality also flexible and free I feel.Katia and Kirsten are plant person as creative and good at solving problems.Kirsten is also optimistic and has strong resource investigator.They all monitor, evaluator as objective , problem solver, responsive.

The research meetings also important for us to ongoing logistics of developing the group project how we respond things.

The theme is “Visions Of The Future”includes the role of technology an AI impact in the future and we wanted to challenge Utopia as historical utopias, real utopias.

First we thought to make circles with lost words,alphabet as language,it was so conceptual but contemporary artists touched on the similar topics so we could create different research as strings represents different nations may be a kind of stitch, felt, beads, etc

I made some circles inspired V.Kandisky then when we changed our project i kept the circles for my individual project.

I researched Gibbs’Reflective Cycle for critical thinking.The six stages: Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion, and Action Plan can be used in collaborative project.I did something silly that run up and down stairs top to ground floor fastly 4 times. I felt relaxed with this condition due to my lungs,blood pressure balanced.When i came back on my table i wrote my experience with using the 6 steps of the reflective cycle.Why i think is good while i run endorphin and serotonin helps to my brain,released in my body so it effected me to relax.In the future i will repeat this training frequently for my general health especcially for my muscles not to be weakness.

On our project,we are three and i believe our project development, leading to more effective and engaging our synergy.

We planned and detailed the project with materials, shared our thoughts, analyzed the process how the project engage with other students supporting us as making strings, analysed risk factors as how to install on ceiling , including the reasons for successes and failures as health and safety issues, and developed the project with communication, survey questionaries with our individual strings.

We thought we can make it real then started to research tapestry, contemporary artists, wish trees, human progress, science fiction, we do guided workshops with foundation class students on different sessions.

Successful Teamwork,Peter Levin” was a good guide like Belbin helps make a success of team projects.I got some notes from this guide to enhance my teamwork skills.

I have visited Electric Dreams discuss us historical relation to generative AI as well as its importance.optical, kinetic, programmed and digital art for odd pieces of vintage tech art, machine art and Art and technology before the Internet explores how innovative artists used cutting-edge tools to expand cultural horizons and imagine the future we are now living in and also I interested in Leonor Antunes’ display strings for our collaboration project.These sculptures bring together traditional crafts and modernist architectural forms so beautifully collection.

We had Data Artist Talk -Stefanie Posavec is a data artist, designer and author discussed AI and Art.Her works connect to calligraphy and typography.’Writing Without Words’ was her projects as collected data.

Related our project I have visited a contemporary Balinese artist – Citra Sasmita – Into Eternal Land – at Barbican Centre London on March 25.

I quite interested in her strings, figures, materials. Citra Sasmita works and focuses on unravelling the myths and misconceptions of Balinese art and culture.She challenges also gender norms, exploring ancestral memory, ritual and migration.Her art installations to symbolize feminine power, memory used with braided ropes resembling hair materials also painting on python skin, divine feminine energy center experiences representing strength, spirituality and draws on the Hindu concept of kundalini.

One of our research is Jakkai Siributr is Thailand’s leading contemporary artists, known for his intricate textile and embroidery work.These adornments reflect the examination of the interaction between Buddhism and materialism in modern life.

News from Nowhere (1890)

The main character falls asleep and wakes up to find himself in a future society where there is no private property, no monetary system, no prisons, no social classes and no divisions between art, life, and work – all work is creative and pleasurable.

Research About Wish Trees-Gobeklitepe Turkey

 I first read about the archaeological site of Gobekli Tepe in the outstanding Sapiens: A brief History Of Humankind (2015)  (2015) by historian Yuval Noah Harari.

Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’ (2014), ‘Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow’ (2016).

After i read these two book, i planned to visit Gobekli Tepe and visited on 2023 October.

On this video Harari summarizes and speculates on ‘AI and the future of humanity’. There are a number of questions related to this discussion, including: “In what ways will AI affect how we shape culture? What threat is posed to humanity when AI masters human intimacy? Is AI the end of human history? Will ordinary individuals be able to produce powerful AI tools of their own? How do we regulate AI?”
