All the students from the MIDA programme gathered in the canteen for a meet and discuss. We had our group selections today. So we all were broken up into groups according to the topic we chose from the Padit and my topic was “From an everyday object to a fantastical object”. By the end of the station I met Jaime, Xiaoyan and Jiageng and we formed a group and discussed the storyline and came up with a plan for our project.

When a man thinks he is dying and enters a period of hospice care, what happens to the real world around him and the virtual world in his mind? This project will explore this topic in the form of an MR performance.

Christos had asked us to choose a topic on Padlet before we attend this station so I picked: “From an everyday object to a fantastical object”. We all take inspiration from day-to-day things to create something extraordinary, similar to how Isaac Newton thought about gravity after an apple fell on his head. Many creative minds have taken inspiration from everyday things, and this is me joining them. 

This week was a meet and greet station, so all the students from the MIDA programme were gathered in the LTB room. First, there was a brief about the unit, they spoke about how we will be graded, and when the submission is due. After that, we had a meet and greet station in the canteen, so we played a small game of stone, paper, and scissors everyone got 5 lives and if you lose a game you would have to give your heart to the winner. 

It’s mostly a game of luck, and as you see, I got very lucky! I met a lot of new people and it was fun, we all exchanged our Instagram handles so we could keep in touch.
