WEEK 1 - Class 1
Reflexion parragraph:
The reason because I chose my impression paper as THE object is not becuase it has one big story behind it, the importance of that piece of paper is that it has many stories. Each cross number that my card has it has his own unique story, a story where I had to run the library or the copy machine and get my impression and/or copy. The card has many types of stories, it has a story where I relax so I went to the library with my buddy and we laughed along the way. It has a story of where I forgot to print something and I had to go rushing before the bell rang. It even has a story of how myself had to cross the numbers because the library was completely empty. Some of those stories may not even be mine, they may be from my friends and the times I had to gave them my card. That is why it is so important to me, the collective memory the card has.
FINDING THE OBJECT - WEEK 1 (SESSION 2)
The soccer ball, the boomerang and the drum sticks were "wasted potential"
The Lightsaber was "heritage"
The DVD, the book and the wand were "ancient history"
I have chosen that soccer ball not because of the good and significant memories I have of it, but because I really havent't done nothing especial with it, because of the bad relationship I have with soccer. All my life I have been told that I need to play soccer, just like my father and grandfather. I have been in two soccer schools and I hated it both experiences. I chose the soccer ball not because of the legacy behind it but because of the abscence of legacy.

WEEK 4
This is an edited photo of the "camara de representantes" here in Bogota. And what I am trying to say with the back and white picture and the the red x's is trying to show off the corruption that there is in the Colombian politics. As we all know there has been many cases of corruption where one politician can steal millions of pesos or even dollars from the tax payer and no one notice and if we notice then no one will do something about it. So what I am saying with the x's is marking like the corruption in our politics system and that they life among us and we stand there and do nothing.
In this experimentation I am the base and the support for the umbrella, since I removed the original ones. If by any circunstance I would get of the umbrella, then the whole thing would fall down, so I was an essential part of the work
