Dewy decimal system

This is a dewy decimal system processes and experiment I used, where I took my name and created a number sequence from the letters of my name which is Luke, which comes out as 332.5, where L is the 12 number in the alphabet, where I then added the 1 and 2 to make 3 because when the number is of two digits you add the two numbers together like U is 21 so I added the two number digits together, which in term makes 3, K makes 2 because it's the 11th number, where 1 add 1 makes 2 and the E makes 5 because theirs no second digit to add, which makes the number sequence 332.5

 

I then went to the UEL library and selected 3 books using metal rods and my mind to select 3 books, where I tried to get as I could to the number, where the number of the three books, where 331.8 because the library did not have a selection of books with a number code of 332. any number, this in term lead me to the book topic of the trade union, which I did not enjoy coming across at the time, but it was the hole point of the experiment to create a text and image drawing based around the topic of the three books.   
 

I then researched the topic trade union on Google images where I found a lot of images of circle based images with drawings and text, I also found a lot of protesting images mostly to do with cuts in the economy, so I intended to create a text and image drawing with them both in mind as well as including the topic of the books.

 

After when I made the drawing I chose to include one of the titles of the three books in the drawing because I believe the text in the images matches well with the drawing in the centre of the image, where I drew a man protesting about cuts in the economy. I chose to draw a protester because the three books do have a bit about trade union members and how changes in the trade business affects them and how there wages have also been affected.   

 

I included the 20th century within the drawing because the three book all link to that time period and changes during that period.

 

The experiment did not meet my expectations because the drawing I have produced in my opinion is useless and I don't think much of it, where the man has been done all wrong, where the nose, mouth, ear and hand don't look human, but the experiment did work in a way, where I was given a topic, which I personal never would have chose to work with, where it made me think a lot about what I was producing.

Postcard from young me to old me

 

This is a postcard project, where I had to write a message from my five year old self to my 50 year old self, where it also had to link to a hauntology track, where there was 14 to pick from. The track I picked was Arthur, Birkby, Barbara Moore singers, Cuckoo.

 

I wanted to use this track because of how I felt it link to nature and  was the closes to a childish theme, which I wanted to work towards, with the drawing I drew an area of a park with a children's playground because in the message I wrote about freedom and as a child I saw the park as a place for me to explore and play, where I would be free for a short time, as I liked to get out a lot.

 

The idea of hauntology comes into play because as I grew older my idea of freedom changed and as a child I was always under the watch of an guardian telling me what I could or could not do.   

 

The message it's self I tried to link it as much to my five year old self as possible, where I hated school, loved running around and eating meat and banana's and where I could not wait to be older, which again looking back on that idea has now changed.
