What is keeping ideas alive through the project?

Show answer

A concept is not a contract you sign once and obey; it is a working hypothesis that should keep getting sharper as evidence comes in. Treat each experiment, each piece of artist research and each studio session as a small test of the concept. If a media trial reveals that a translucent layered surface says something about memory that your original idea only gestured at, let the concept absorb that discovery and become more specific. This is the opposite of the common failure, where a student locks in a vague concept early, then spends the rest of the project decorating it because changing course feels like wasted effort.
