What is good?- Development of Concept (Perception)

Another new development in where my project is going. I am still trying to find the link between my new subject perception and my previous starting point which was poetry and grid systems. I decided poetry sounded fairly lame and I was also finding myself really quite bored when reading the poetry and also researching about it.

I decided to choose perception firstly because I didn't really know what the term even meant but it captured my interests as it is a word people use and throw about without probably understanding the deep meaning and true definition. Secondly once I started reading about perception I found it really interesting. The more I research into it the more interesting it becomes. I can see potentially what I am going to use as content and also the range, product and distribution seem slightly clearer. When I was researching villages I literally had no ideas forming and couldn't identify and audience or range of distribution.

Internet definition of perception:

The ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. The state of being or process of becoming aware of something in such a way.

Synonyms realization - understanding - comprehension

I have identified areas of research from subjects that were identified by the definition of perception. I will gradually work my way through the list of headings and become an expert on perception.
