Today we were talking about convergence and how it can influence and better our work. We started the day with a lecture from another student who was doing his masters and gave us lots of useful information about how convergence can make our work unique.
What is convergence?
convergence is the transition of information so between information being communicated and information being understood.
some examples convergence are;
the convergence of different technologies,
convergence of different ideas,
convergence of practices/disciplines e.g. graphic design and animation.
Later that day we then had a task where he had to think about convergence and use materials such as magazine and news paper cut outs. We had to create something with them which was a great task and helped me understand the convergence between ideas and development.
