technical issues

it's been a slower couple of days, i've been working through ideas in my head rather than making
and this can be good and bad for me

on the positive side, it's made me realise that i want to focus in on some more research to backdrop what it is i have been making, i'm delving back into Fred Moten's Black and Blur, Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric, and i do want to get back into Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia 
i say all this, but it's worth noting i keep getting sucked up into reading through twitter, it feels a lot more digestible to be able to go through quite short things at the moment
whether that is just a worry about really getting into theory, trying to find the headspace to really focus on something that isn't making

i guess what has felt bad about being in my head is the lack of transferring these ideas into something more tangible 
there's this constant looming feeling of wasted time, which i know in real terms it isn't
but it can be difficult to not succumb to the doubt of not making

today
today has just felt like an attempt at making so far
i was playing with blender earlier, but because my laptop doesn't like to run physics animations smoothly, or maybe that should be, "can be temperamental" about running them
what i am hoping to do is to start to think about projection mapping, how that could be realised through blender, and how ultimately that could be something to think about post-digital
maybe if i can get it to run slightly smoother (maybe closing the 40 odd internet tabs i have open might help) i can get something up soon

watch this space
