Stage 1 - Hopeful Beginning
I began the day positively assuming that I would have lots of time to bring my work together and by the end of the day I would know exactly what I'd have to do to bring this project to a close. I finished putting together all my modules and then decided to try to wire them all and get them fully functioning and working in tandem.
Stage 2 - The Midpiece Crisis
None of the pieces worked together and I discovered my attempts at wiring were similar to my attempts at unassisted flight and divination. I was no the only person to become despondent due top set back and looking at my past work I think the midpiece crisis is common in many people not just me.
Stage 3 - Post Crisis reality check
I decided that I would need to re-wire my project, lower my expectation and accept I wouldn't get a continual motion. After rewiring the whole piece I managed to get it moving and was somewhat startled to find most people were entertained solely by its movement, noise and visual interest. I Then decide that my piece would still be as effective and interesting despite it not actually doing what it;s suppose to.
Stage 4 - Plan Change and Piece Completion
With my plans altered I forged on for many hours and as the day drew to a close most of my final piece was completed. I do however still have several hours work in fine tuning, attaching up several individual elements and final finishing touches to improve the peices composition.
Apart from discovering a series of stage that all art pieces seem to go through I have actually nearly finished my final peice, I've got five hours worth of improving and tuning to do to get the piece up to the quality i'm aiming for but all in all it has gone well. I was faced by wiring set-backs, I spent much of today battling gravity but on the whole it went well.
