Merging Minds and First Steps

Blog 2

Thankfully enough, critical P, a friend who happened to have a degree in neuroscience was really enthusiastic about the idea. She studied it and wanted to collaborate. I'm guessing it provoked her curiosity and interest to continue developing the knowledge she had acquired, through an artistic approach. By joining minds and skills we could create something really magical and special that no one has ever seen or represented before.

I feel we have a good combination of minds, and have complimentary skills and ways of expressing ourselves. The thing is she gets my way of seeing things, when getting what I'm trying to say can be difficult sometimes. I get lost in the broadness of expression and astrality. My linguistics are an unpuzzled puzzle. However, this width and straight forward expressions help convert broad ideas into direct points. Our skills make one type of puzzle.

I´ve analyzed the working combination as we already have collaborated together in the creation of a song “tetrico”. Our relationship flows and we get to find new ways of expressing ourselves through our different minds.

To start off we researched, got inspired and processed the idea in many ways and have changed in many others. Not only through internet networking but through personal, social, emotional and ethical interconnection.

Firstly, my mom was the first person I went to ask. As a first-hand resource if you may say. I wanted to know all about her emotions through her ears. Doing this made me realize the little I asked her about this. I grew up and communicated with her in a different way than I did with others. It was so normalized I didn't even think of it sometimes. The journey of this project has helped me reach lots of realizations. One of them being the effort to understand something bigger than oneself.

I interviewed her with questions which gave me access to her emotions and learned that not all is what we see from the outside. Her way of acting is so strong, always fighting and fighting. I asked her questions like her memories of sound, and how it affected her personal, social and her professional life. She described situations she went through and that the only path she saw was to keep fighting. Situations like how she felt left out in her family before she decided to implant a cochlear. Furthermore, she describes how the hardest thing for her was to still be social and how her interactions changed.

Also I recorded the noises the cochlear implant does when taking it off and charging.

This first input made me understand that not everything is what you see or imagine.
