Graduation Thing Pt.2, Week 2: Case Study

Simone Giertz with one of her inventions the Everyday Calendar.

Week 2 already, and so I have been to my first tutorial, the feedback was ok, the deliverables part can be something else other than just a book about routine making. I then start to look into another alternative for my final outcome.

Simone Giertz

I know her back in the days where she started to invent a useless daily object that somehow looked like would hurt you? Ya, and so I didn't really take in too much thought about her, but then during Translation & Transmission class, a lecture did mention Simone Giertz and her way of collecting data with one of her inventions call the Everyday Calendar.

Everyday Calendar

Here's a video of her explaining what an everyday calendar is and if you still haven't watched it yet... I'm not explaining.

So how would this relate to my project? My topic is about routine and getting shit done, and so if I were to track down what I've done I have to find a way to know I did it, and even better remind me that I haven't done it yet, so we have the everyday Calendar. The Calendar is huge, it's bulky, it's in your face, but is it useful? I think so, cause its very existence was supposed to remind you that you haven't done what you need to be doing. But looking at what she did, it's very fancy so I might just go back to the routine maker, we'll see.
