Recently, we work in the Capture office as usual. However, after weeks of working on the social media, we finally get to work on something new. This week we get our hands on the Capture 2018 exhibition submissions. Our task is to format the file names and caption of the images submitted by curator and artist. The goal is to format them according to instructions provided so that the files/information would be easy to search for. Billy and I went through 80 submissions in total. It was fascinating to see the diversity of artists, mediums, and topics. I am excited to go to the exhibitions next year.

Besides that, we made a list of artist/exhibition that doesn’t have enough information (like medium, dimensions of the work) so that Jaclyn can contact them for more information. Making the list was not mandatory, but since it was a relatively easy task, I feel that I should complete the task as perfectly as possible and it is more convenience for whoever takes over or follow along the submission program. I learned the way to properly organized files and the formal format of captions, which will be very helpful later when I need to organize/archive my own works.

So far, the task given to us was not too challenging. I feel that it is important to communicate with our supervisor during the process if we encounter any problem. After completing the task, to think about the process, reflect what I learned from it is also very helpful for improvement and knowledge/experience accumulation, even if the task is easy.
