In this UHI Winter 2022 Methods Workshop, titled “Filmic Sensing: The Fish That Comes From Nowhere,” UHI students were invited to reflect upon themselves and create a 10 second - 1 minute video - using images from the exercises. Students made use of found audio or silence for their personafesto.
To guide their personafesto, the group asked questions like: how do we make the time and space for the deep thinking? what is the difference between deep work, deep thinking and shallow thinking? how do we create that space when space for realities is being reduced and reduced? what do we see imprinting on reality, and so on.
The reflection on reality and the body’s engagement to place became an important topic as students explored filmic sensing with the aid of meditation, intentional walking exercises, and discussions over reference materials.
