To be in the community, or not to be, that is the question
The final show. The competition. I am trying not get upset by all this situation but it seems it will be impossible. This sentence that I found on FB Arena Group by a kind of Design101 Embassador does not look good anyway you look at it - "this is a chance to all of you who enrolled in the course independenly if you did the assignments or not to show your talent. " , says Sara.( She's iversity Ambassador) Well, it also reads in the blog that "101 designers within the design 101 community will be chosen to exhibit a work ". A mere Design 101 enrolled person is part of the Design 101 community?!! Since when? In what part of the world? Do you know what makes a community? This kind of opinion really makes a lot for this MOOC's prestige and objectives...and students that commented every day, made assignements, shared links, helped each other, shared stuff by emails. And I must say I don't consider myself as one of the most hard working persons here, not even close. At this moment I am SO PISSED that I am honestly thinking of not doing anything else, not for the exhibition not even for this week. I don't feel I need to prove anything because this is a FREE ride and I don't need Berlin to show the world my stuff. I am not a designer, this course did not make me a designer and probably I will never be one. But I loved being a part of DESIGN 101 COMMUNITY. That final show wasn't the reason that brought me here and still isn't. Specially with the format you came up with. Oh, by the way, I organized all kind of events for a couple of years, and, yes, you can't take the work of many in this course because you did not think a way of making it possible since the beggining. It's a MOOC people, not an art school class. That was your starting point. It's not about space, you know. This is getting silly by the hour. Oh, please... Make me shut up.
