Inspirational Talks: AL & AL Talk

AL & AL: Incidents of Travel in the Multiverse

Introduction

These inspirational talks are a series of different speakers which will be running for the next few weeks as part of Unit X and are recommended for us to attend. As these speakers have a range of different experiences and knowledge they can offer this and more to help us build our own projects for Unit X.

Talk

AL and AL are a couple of visual artists and filmmakers who have an exhibition at HOME called ‘Incidents of Travel in the Multiverse’.


They talked about their experience after university and how they got to the point they are today with their exhibition. As you can see the notes I’ve taken I focussed on the life lessons they gave us from their own experiences. Such as the feeling of being completely alone once leaving university, which is significant because I realised how much support and guidance is offered by the university and that it will suddenly disappear once you leave.
Another point that stood out to me was that you’ll be learning all of your life and that once you leave university, is when the real challenge begins; I never thought of leaving that way.

Conclusion

Overall I found the talk was not completely relevant to animation or Unit X; however it didn’t need to be because I feel that I have learnt a lot about the experience after university. I intend to attend future inspirational talks when I can.
