Unit X Launch

Today is the launch of the new project, Unit X. 
8 week collaborative project, investigation, team work.

I'm trying to gather my thoughts together and try to make sense of what is going on.
Everything is a bit of a blur to begin, but I'm sure it will make sense soon.

Working in a group isn't something that I am used to, I prefer to go at my own pace but I'm excited to work with others and bounce off of new people and learn through each other.
During the lecture we were given a few names of other collaborative successful groups of artists. Superflex is one whom I've researched in order to help gain some inspiration about how I can go about working within a successful group. 

''SUPERFLEX is an artists' group founded in 1993 by Jakob Fenger, Rasmus Nielsen and Bjørnstjerne Christiansen. 

SUPERFLEX describe their projects as Tools. A tool is a model or proposal that can actively be used and further utilized and modified by the user.''

I've taken this quote from their website and feel like this is helping me to understand what I need to do to take and give to my group in order for us all to be successful.


175

Starting point. Translate through image, text, thoughts, ideas, information.
Its a multiple, is it a collection? Are objects involved?
Terms of value, money, time?
Distance, steps.

These are some of my first few thoughts based upon the idea of 175. What does this number mean to me? Where am I going to take it?
