#cross disciplinary

Adaptability isn’t just a skill—it’s the ultimate superpower. As the world evolves, cross-disciplinary thinkers are building the future. I’ve seen how combining seemingly unrelated skills leads to breakthroughs. Have you?

Gone are the days of staying in one lane. The future belongs to those who adapt and innovate across disciplines.

Cross disciplinary

Exploring techniques that could possibly be used to visually display thought, feeling, emotion, memory in animation or film through projection of words or images.

Using my camera Obscura as a projector. Projecting words and images onto characters from my animation. A technique that could be used to explore characters feelings, or effects such as reflection or thought. I write out some simple words.’in my head. In my room. In my house. In my town.’ And projected it onto my character. Looking at portraying psychological feelings through visual representation. Which could perhaps be used in an animation.

I then made a collage with photos I had made previously with PFV. Looking at screen time. How the daily is centered around technology and the screen and how it is affecting the mind. After a workshop on self portrait I was inspired to reflect relative experience in a portrait.

‘Blue light’

taken on my mum’s Samsung phone in self timer (slightly better quality than my own and has a timer ) I had it propped up again my a lego figure my sister was building before I booked the room😂.

(Inspired by artist Marwane Pallas ‘what I eat’)

Further inspired by the aesthetic of a story board covered in both PFV and animation I wanted to continue to explore translating psychological conflicts through image and words. A collage of images I’ve taken throughout the project.

This morning I woke up to a tweet from somebody asking me why--despite my obvious love of cities and real estate--do I seem more influenced by venture capitalists on my blog. He wondered if it was because of a lack of public/online real estate thought leaders.

I responded by saying yes; that's part of the reason. I honestly can't think of one real estate developer that hosts a personal and regular blog. (If you know of any, please pass them along.) Whereas I can't think of a major VC who doesn't blog.

Sure there are other real estate professionals who blog, but a lot of those sites just feel like giant lead generation tools and those aren't enjoyable to read. I'm trying not to create that kind of blog. The trust of readers is more important to me than trying to promote my businesses.

But the other reason I often cite venture capitalists and "tech" centric topics is because I believe in cross pollinating industries. I don't believe the world operates neatly under silos and neither should our minds and businesses. I've also argued many times before that with software eating the world, nobody should be ignoring technology.

At the same time, the consumer web feels to me like this profound social force changing the way people live and interact with each, which, if you think about it, is what cities have always been about. And so I see all kinds of interesting overlaps.
