- Really enjoyed contextual feedback (i.e. "oh this is a lot like <some other film maker>")** Especially helpful when such comparisons inspired collaboration.
- Would have liked a forum in which people could post videos of related work.
...
- Currently a Masters student at the Media Lab
- At RISD, she was also assigned a mentor, and she had studio session that met regularly
- Most of her critiques came from peer reviews
- Gallery showing were an opportunity to get a more public reception
- One issue students faced at RISD was that students had varying levels of notoriety before starting the program
- Because feedback came in person from your peers, it wasn't always easy to be forthcoming
The artistic process is very personal and some artists are hesitant to over-share
...
- Specifically, there was a famous actor in her program who students were afraid to critique with anything less than praise
- The process could have benefited from some anonymity
- She also found that her work that was considered significant within the RISD community was often decoupled from the work that received praise from non-artists, which was difficult to reconcile.
- Since graduating, she feels disconnected from her community of artistic critique, and it is difficult when making new work
- Uses social media such as facebook to post intermediate work, concepts, and finished products
- Also maintains a separate, polished, online portfolio
- Interested in richer, more visually-directed feedback from these media
- Some work is generated programmatically -- could be interesting ways for people to experiment and contribute
