Communication Project
Coordenation Andrew Howard

In this project you are asked to draw on the experience and knowledge gained in the previous projects, to research, edit, and design a work around the theme of ‘connections’
This work can take any form you believe is suited to the nature of your focus – a book, a website, a series of prints etc. It could even be an exhibition if it can be described in detail and visualised.
Connections can be researched and they can be discovered, by ‘researched’ is that you may investigate something that clearly has many connections.

My Social Connections

“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” —Brené Brown

Humans are a profoundly social species; our drive to connect with others is embedded in our biology and evolutionary history. It begins at birth, in our relationship with our caregiver and the effects of this relationship seem to reverberate throughout our lives. Social connections are the relationships you have with the people around you. They may be close, like family, friends, and co-workers, or more distant, like people you know casually. They can be as close as next door or so far away that you only connect with them by telephone or through the Internet.

For this project to explore social connections, I started making a list of all the people I managed to register that I have ever met

Categorizing

The idea of this investigation was to categorize the list of social connections and make different sequences with the same list. I categorized it into 3 parts: Alphabetical Order, Age, and Year I met them

Posters

Another possible perception to work with the list is in the form of a poster.
