	'''Learning:''' Ahhhhhhhhhhh, It went fine. People added lots, the remixing defiantly worked, but I was left underwhelmed with the outputs. Alot of people defaulted to quite generic statements, and avoided personal stories. I feel this could be for 3 reasons. Firstly, that the exercise was badly designed, resulting in people either being confused by what they were meant to do. This could be fixed with more explicit instructions, or better more personal examples. Secondly, It could be that people didn't feel safe enough to confess personal things, this could be because they knew others at the expo or handwriting or visibility. ''Could there be a better way to design this experience while still having it open?''		'''Learning:''' Ahhhhhhhhhhh, It went fine.

	About: For try out night #1, I focused on trying to create an asynchronous exhibition piece based on the first part of my workshop (I,To,Even Though Framework). However, I iterated on the past version by adding an extra step, hence the exercise became 'I, To, Because, Even Though'. My hope was that this would bring deeper reflection, perhaps asking people to juxtapose the 'Because' and 'Even Though' statements. I also designed the exercise around individual hexagons that cold be stuck on the wall. Not only did this add a tactile nature to the experience but importantly It allowed people to remix each others confessions.

			===== Thing: No Phone Holiday =====
			'''About:''' Ok, so the project started with a holiday where I didn't have a phone. One week in a van in faro and no smart phone.

			'''Link:''' [[User:Wordfa/Elimination Diet]]

			'''Learning:''' That it's basically impossible, that you have to get someone else to use their phone to do the most basic things. I think a big reflection was that the only reason I was going on the holiday was because of the internet and technology at large, so of course you would need a phone to travel there. Basically all my learnings are in the main text. Which may become a zine at some point.

			===== Thing: Monday Workshop (17-11-25) =====
			[[File:Signal-2025-11-21-125653.jpeg\|alt=Completed worksheets from the workshop\|thumb\|406x406px\|Completed worksheets from the workshop]]
			'''About:''' For a Monday workshop I ran a hour long workshop that asked people to do two main things. Firstly to confess/reflect on the issues they have with the Technology they use everyday. Secondly to write speculative fiction around how they might do everyday task less technologically.

			'''Link:''' [https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/b/b6/Luddites_Anon_17-11-25_Worksheet.pdf Worksheet (Documents process)]

			'''Learning:''' Firstly I learnt that the framework I had been using (I , To, Even Though) wasn't great a people didn't have a chance to talk about why they do something, before reflecting on it. Also that people often resorted to quite external/political issues (e.g. Mark Zuck made it or I don't know what my phone is made off) rather then more personal reflections (e.g. I feel overwhelmed by having to respond to every text or I feel empty after scrolling).

			Secondly, that the speculative part had very mixed results depending on what participants started with. Some people realised that they didn't even need to do the task they were meant to speculate about. Also the story format, was possibly too open and needed some more structure. However, there were glimmers of hope contained within.

			---

			===== Thing: Mock Assessment =====
			'''About:''' The main thing here is that in the spirit of the project I used a blackboard to present my project outline and wanted to talk about that experience

			'''Learning:''' Firstly it was fun and really helped structure my thinking, being limited to chalk board sized writing and the physical space. Much like the No Phone Holiday it was very uncanny/hypocritical as I copied a lot of things off my laptop into it and that I had hand written links on the blackboard. Am I just using the aesthetic or am I limited by the expectations of a technological society and hence at least some part of my work has to be online.
