Data analysis_Critical Reflection_Coding Memo_022- Aaron - Phase 1. Familiarising yourself with your data 

Process and flow of coding ideas:

Phase 1: Continuing with immersion in the data. Re-reading transcripts whilst listening to audio. Amending and editing errors and including pauses etc. Copy-pasted verbatim extracts into the slides considering things that were of interest. Beginning to consider latent and semantic codes.

Practical problems with 3D suspended work – leading to VR opportunities

Assumptions about sight loss

Happy accidents – positive opportunities

Uneducated audiences

Physical engagement leads to disrespect and damaged art work (similar to David Johnson’s experience)

Artists are artists – sight or no sight

The importance of listening

Sound as a navigation method

Active listening – noise as a distraction

Focus on music as a meditation – not simply noise

Internal memory data base

Exotic escape

Perception of light and scale without sight

Multi-sensory overload

Intuitive perception

Seeing only fragments – even for the sighted

Visual memories create memory data bases

Shape distilled and pared down

Cause of sight loss

Experience of sight loss as a positive or negative depends on disposition

Colouring in and only ever seeing a part

Sight is always there – eyes are not necessary for visual stimulus or imagery
