2. Identity and the MUVE
2. Identity
“Design education consciously and deliberately strives
to achieve a balance between the unrestricted and impulsive (Nobody),
the collaborative teamworking, subject specific or audience satisfying
(Anybody) and the personal achievement of the author/producer
(Somebody). We glued all this together with many, many ‘Aha!’ moments
(Eureka)…. but it is clear that individual and collective identity is bound together with the creative process”. http://www.openhabitat.org/blogfeed/blogspot/eureka ian truelove
Identity is a key concept in all of this. In some sense i wonder how
much of an issue identity will be the more that people get comfortable
with the medium. In a designed classroom, where you already know who
the people in the class are, flights of identity are going to be less
disruptive. This quote is a nice subtle description of how that can
work in set-piece courses.
