Indigo Vertigo:
im going anti-art this year

manel:
I know that.
Trying to anoy people...?
Stupid people will hate you... that's the only good thing

Indigo Vertigo:
im sick of complimenting tutors egos

manel:
hahaha
me too
did you compliment them a lot?

Indigo Vertigo:
no, i mean with my work.....like, giving them stuff they can easily engage with....like, spoon fed....

manel:
hooo
Yah I can understand that feeling
Indigo Vertigo diz:
its either, give them stuff they know about, or give them something they hate
manel (writing a letter) diz:
LOL

Indigo Vertigo:
there is no middle ground

manel:
true
I'm trying both because I want to

Indigo Vertigo:
because you want good grades?

manel:
Nope
Because I actually enjoy doing it
Just look at my mural... please...
I love the process of making
and you don't
Simple

Indigo Vertigo:
haha

manel:
to be honest today I was thinking...
You never proved to be able to do it the other way...
which is something I would test if I was your tutor.
they are being extremely cool
If I was a tutor I would be chalenging you
Because if you do something just because you can't do it any other way you should try to change that at least for a while
But this was me thinking as a tutor…
I honestly think you should keep going whith the good work

Indigo Vertigo:
hahaha

manel:
I suport what you are aming at this year
And I'm trying it too
but not exclusively

Indigo Vertigo:
ok, well i arived at the point im at through experimantation etc
that was all foundation and first year

manel:
true

Indigo Vertigo:
ive found a medium thats works well for me
installation &photography...

manel:
I agree
but I have a question for you.
If you found it why do you need an MA? What are they going to teach you? Are they just going to tell you how good you are all the time?
hahaha

Indigo Vertigo:
for sure!

manel:
I just don't think so...

Indigo Vertigo:
well ask me a stupid question and you'll get a stupid answer . i want an MA for the qualification and all that it brings. industry opportunitys in london, and a year in one of the best institutional creative shcools

manel:
that's fair...
But I think they'll be able to tell that
And who knows what they'll think after realizing that
I'm not doing it because of that, to be honest…
I'm going to do an MA because I thin I can do much better
Beacause the people I'll meet will feed my thoughts and ways of doing things

Indigo Vertigo:
obviously

manel:
I'll learn loads and change a lot

Indigo Vertigo:
&STUFF

manel:
I'll never assume I found the perfect media... It's almost like saying : "I found the right way of doing my art"
If I find that I'll return to science
Beacause that's what science is

Indigo Vertigo:
haha shut up

manel:
no I won't
I'm testing you

Indigo Vertigo:
ive found a way to get good grades with little effort, not good art.
that better?

manel:
hahaha
Is that what you honestly think?
I don't think it is

Indigo Vertigo:
of course not, im passionate about what i do

manel:
Great
but this won't stop here
Will keep going later on...

[…]

manel:
Can you find a way to test me in a similar way?
???

Indigo Vertigo:
hmm possibly
im tired
but i can try

manel:
tomorrow

[…]

Indigo Vertigo:
so, i'll crit you tomorrow

manel:
that's a promisse
We need to do it
there are very few that can do it properly...

Indigo Vertigo:
cool, we'll have loads to talk about tomorrow with the proposal and decisions with contextual studies..........so your getting the beers in tomorrow ?

[…]

manel:
May I post a bit f this conversation on the blog?

Indigo Vertigo:
no fucking way man
haha, depends which bits
im sure it'd be pretty funny to read back actually
ive just highlighted some of the conversation, just because you meantioned it and i want to see if i chose the same content as you

[…]

Indigo Vertigo:
haha i've been thinking about using msn in work for a while now.....but pete uses a very similar thing with his images and everyone would think i was copying...

manel:
But what about making our statements msn logs?
Pete doesn't do that

Indigo Vertigo:
fuck thats a great idea
like an interview with someone that knows about your work?

manel:
Exactly

Indigo Vertigo:
done!

[We are using Prt Sc (print screen) and photoshop to get our statement this year. And I’ll write about Cooper’s work and he’ll write about mine.]
