I must say, I wasn’t entirely excited on going to the talk led by Brendan Dawes as on research, his work, initially did not interest me. However, I came to realise that it wasn’t the importance of the work or finished product but rather the meaning behind it.
What grabbed my attention was his creation entitled, ‘Double Buzz’. This piece of programming was a tool to illustrate or display information from the internet differently. Going against the ‘norm’ and showing information in a different way to, for instance, Google, caused much debate on its worth and quality. This unusual search engine led me to ponder on how one may display discovered information. This talk reemphasised the importance of creativity in today’s world and how it is integral to ‘step outside the box’ and ‘go against the ‘norm’ as much as you possibly can’. How shall we as a group of young artists and designers display our new found information of the city of Manchester?
