Temporary Project Summary

Temporary Brief – The word temporary’s usage peaked during four periods between 1800-2019, according to Google: 1918; 1945; 1978; 1998. From my interpretation of those dates, I predict another spike of the word’s usage between 2020-2023. As shown in my cyanotype image: 1918, 1945 and 1998 involved significant periods of War/Peace; 1978 was a time of double-digit inflation; while 1998 also involved a vaccine-dominated health issue. 2020-2023 incorporates all three of these. With those health issues in mind and based on my mind-maps, my focus on the brief is on the temporary symptoms of narcolepsy, a rare, neurological disorder, that had a spike of cases triggered by the swine flu vaccine Pandemrix in Ireland and some other Northern European countries.  

As part of my journey, I successfully incorporated the five core areas: Exploration of Media; Ethics & Sustainability; Engagement with the Learning Environment; Communication & Knowledge Sharing; and Research & Reflection.

In addition to exploring the different media types on offer, I also explored the same idea in more than one media type to learn to compare and contrast the outcomes. These are included in my showcase.

Through engaging with the learning environment, I identified appropriate research areas/artists and built on that knowledge to further my idea development. From Roxy Paine’s “Neuron”, Rita Ann Burke’s “MS and ME”, David C. Roy’s kinetic sculptures, and Jean Tinguely’s found-object created drawing machines. Each of their influences can me seen in my project.

On a personal level, I too have developed from been challenged and inspired by the tutors, other students, and the exposure to new contemporary artists. This project is also very personal to me, given that around 84% of the people with narcolepsy in Ireland are undiagnosed - roughly 2,100 people. I plan on using the pieces created here to help raise awareness of the disease through Narcolepsy Ireland.

Ok I know a lot of people were clowning on Security Breach when it came out but the scene where Cassie deactivated Roxy while Roxy is just so happy to see her and then cuts to the security network (whatever you call those connecting the dots things) and it has no obstacles absolutely broke me.

listen to me. in a swap au ramona's knives would NOT be matthew. matthew got over his heartbreak fairly easily once he had his own musical to perform on and knives does not have that kind of emotional resilience in the face of scott's shittiness she is seventeen years of age. matthew would more likely be like kim or something. he's hiding stuff and he never got closure but at least he has a healthy outlet for his emotions which helps him come to terms with it in some sense. knives would be ROXY. heartbreak central.
