During last week’s task: Golden Record Curation, each of this cohort member curated 10 songs from the Voyager Golden Record in their own specific way using a set of criteria. Although each of us are considered individuals and are unique in our own way, we somehow were interconnected in some manner.
Looking from a broader perspective: While thinking of connections, I thought: We are all UBC students, our connection is even stronger/thicker because we are all MET students and we are even more “related” as we work on the same course and assignments.
The images that I added to this post have been generated with the data generated from the Golden Record Curation Quiz that we had to complete on the previous task.
This image shows how the preference or should I say that similar criteria that each of us used to curate the Golden Voyager. I am within the Magenta Group. I actually went to check out Christophers’s, Kylie’s and Kristie’s blog to see if the tracks they chose matched mine. They actually did pick several tracks that I had chosen too.
As for this image it shows how many ‘paths’ we have with each other. The green group, which is located on the other end, should have less things in common with the Magenta group. I checked Charlie’s curated list and he has a couple of songs that match with the ones I have. I believe that this also portrays what we do not have in common. We both might have not chosen a certain track and that is also a connection among us.
The third is image displays the amount of members that choose that specific song. The red tone circles represented the songs. There are some big red circles, which represent that these were the top choices among the entire cohort. Each of us might have chosen a different criteria on how to curate the Voyager Golden Record, but with these ‘top choices’ it still demonstrate that among the cohort there is still a common preference on how each of us feel regarding the selection of music to be transmitted to extraterrestrial life forms.
I would have liked to see an image generated with data showing the reason each of us picked those specific tracks. We are connected among each other, what I would like to know is “what” makes us to be joined with these specific paths.
