Week 1:

A.) One Object, Many Views: Phone
1. Alian might look at a phone as if the past and future is being shown through videos
2. A child might look at a phone as if it were a real-life video game coming to life
3. Imagine you are in an airplane, and you see left, right and center flashing buttons and switches, that is how your boomer nabire may look at a phone
4. Your average dog may see your phone as a hard, square-like toy to be played with
5. Your phone may look at the charger as the straw to a feast of electricity.

B.) Three Lenses Walk
1. Write down 3 modes
- Image Lenze: Saw two girls sitting together, leaning on each other with their backs facing me
- Text Lenze: The six pineapple cans on a bicycle
- Sound Lenze: The sound of the airplane flying by
2. Pick one you practice today and describe what you did
- I saw two girls sitting beside each other. I watched them from afar and wondered what they were thinking
3. Add 2-3 sentences about how it felt or what you noticed
- I felt a sense of peace and happiness when I was watching them

C.) Collaborative Re-seeing
We chose to use our cards and made a little village by making triangle-looking homes. We were able to re-see the use of cards into a little village.

D.) Quick group reflection
I think from today's exercises, the way I think has changed in a subtle but unique way. I feel like it has been so long since I have creatively thought about re-seeing objects and being able to be creative. I think the exercise we did today connects to the lecture idea of artistic thinking in the way artists look at objects and see them in a different way. An interesting example I heard in a discussion today is that a boat in the water for a fish is a box that cuts across the fish's sky. I thought that was such a unique way of thinking, and it makes sense.

E.) Short written task
I chose the photo of the two girls sitting beside each other, and as I explained in B), it made me feel in a way, second-hand happiness and peace. I felt safe and confident even though I was not the one in the situation.

D.) Final Mini-Artifact
