Finding things you aren't looking for

Ambivalent wayfinding

Not looking for anything in particular, but finding things that are unexpected or unknown. That was the general theme of our class on Monday, and it relates to your first project (link at left). With the Learning Project, you are charged with becoming an anthropologist and finding something unexpected or invisible. Enter into your chosen location with a beginner's mind.

Here's the link to the whodunnit video about testing your awareness, and here's the other about Inattentional Blindness. That term, and the specific video with the gorilla, is described in your UPOD book, and worth remembering.

Finally, here is Alan's presentation on the BLM project in which he had to act as an anthropologist and gather information about the people and places that are part of the Bureau of Reclamation. Download CDES102BLMAuditPresentation2
