Honors Colloquy Project Two (Creative Production)

Hello, welcome to my blog. My name is Brendan Baird and I am currently a student at Delta college where I am enrolled in the honors colloquy course. I am not currently in the honors program at Delta but I was drawn to the course by its description. A discussion based class designed to facilitate critical thinking and foster deeper learning. I've always enjoyed debate and open discussion of ideas and it seemed like just the class for me. This has turned out to be true as I've very much enjoyed the class so far and would recommend it to any student at Delta.         The purpose of this blog is to chronicle some of my time in this class.Included, are this introduction, a few of my assignments with some reflections, and then my second project(creative production) along with it's accompanying précis.

Précis   For my creative production I chose Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” as an Influence/ Inspiration. I would say one of the biggest themes of the movie is being unable to decipher between reality and the subconscious mind. It is a very complex movie that explores the human mind and delves into the world of dreams. For my second project I want to expand/ include this theme of reality perception. Cognitive psychology and how the mind works is an interest of mine and something I want to explore. I consider myself pretty visionary as I always find myself day dreaming thinking of what could be and often am lost in my thoughts. A topic I want to explore and connect to the overall theme of reality perception is the futuristic technology of brain computer interfaces. BCI technology has huge potential and may change many things as we know it. Many people have never heard of BCI technology but it is something that is definitely being developed and the possibilities are endless. Already
