Remix the City: Conference Project — Creative Interview Initiative
My goal in my conference was to create a space of otherness, where ones mind can be captivated by the illusion of communal thought and belief. This power, created and allowed by mans need to withdraw from his own agency,…
Remix the City: Conference Project — Do You Control Space?
The making of our conference project was definitely time consuming and harder than we thought it would be. We spent 15-16 hours straight in Heimbold, from 4pm to 8am the next morning. We thought we would be home by maximum…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
Text, is not just letters combined into words, etc, it is an amalgam of predefined connotations asserted into the visual and analytical realm, and therefore there is a need to question the space which words can create, and how we…
Remix the City: Space HiJack — Jenga
For my box project, I also started with confusion. Since we’ve been talking about cube mappings during class and the lab on gum box. I wasn’t sure what the project is. Whether making cube mapping or making a huge box…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
My text project is on how to look at space, spatial relationship between abstract artwork and people. I watched the tutorials of After Effect on YouTube. I used typewriter effect, falling effect, transformed scales and positions; fade out effect, and…
Remix the City: Conference Project — 100% YC Labels
My conference project is a series of sticker labels. My idea came from the clothing label. For my project, I made stickers for chairs, staircase handles, water fountains, plants and glass windows and doors in heimbold. I am also making…
Remix the City: Visual Code of Heimbold
When I first saw Heimbold, I immediately thought of the art building in my high school in Rhode Island because the major glass doors and windows and the contour of the wood structure in both buildings. I enjoy staying in…
Remix the City: Conference Project — MetroNorth Ad Bust
My project was replacing ads on the Metro North train with my own work. With this poster, I wanted to propose an alternative path to happiness/fulfillment than those suggested by advertisements. Advertisements suggest that we can improve ourselves and our experience through the…
Remix the City: Conference Post #3
This is my completed infographic; it’s meant to look like a news site/app within an ipad screen. One of my concerns with this project was that it would end up looking too text-heavy, and I wouldn’t succeed with the data…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
I did Questions of space for my text project, and had fun using the space of the screen as well as different fonts and effects to encapsulate the meaning or feeling of some of my questions. These were my questions:…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
With the inspiration of Bernard Tschumi, I came up with these questions of space! Is SPACE really space? Does SPACE get it’s own SPACE? Where does SPACE stop and start? Can our perception of SPACE ever be unassuming? Is SPACE…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
For my post of question of space, I am going to make a manifesto on space on abstract art after a very interesting reading experience of Ad Reinhardt’s How to look at Space. Reinhardt is an abstract painter in New…
Remix the City: Conference Project: Bubble Tent
In looking at the successes and failures of my implementation of my conference project, I wish I had been able to make a model/draft of it before installing it. The biggest problem I ran into was that I had not…
Remix the City: Conference Project Post #2 — 100% YC Labels
I am sticking with my original idea of conference project, doing a series of sticker labels. My first sticker project of IKEA is to deliver the message of using forced labor in major companies. It was sort of serious and…
Remix the City: Conference Project Post # 2 — Emma’s Progress on “Brokeopoly”
So! I have assembled my board. I’s wraught with cynicism… perhaps dripping with sarcasm… But I’m thoroughly enjoying myself, so there’s that. I’m using actual classes I’ve taken, and on the “property cards,” I’m explaining what a student would come…
Remix the City: Conference Project Post #2 — MetroNorth Ad Bust
I’m excited (and perhaps a little nervous) to install my project. I’ve prepared 2 posters (and will hopefully prepare a 3rd) to replace the advertisements on the Metro North train with. My plan is to have another student come along…
Remix the City: Questions of Space
Does space require time? Is there an abnormal distance between whatever neurons in my head connect my thoughts to my mouth? (re: articulating myself is hard) When viewed at a microscopic level, could my mom ever really consider my room clean? Is “empty…
Remix the City: Space HiJack — This Side Up
For my box project, I decided to make a box that says “this side up” on every side, but pointing different ways. I installed it in the Barbara Walters Gallery because I felt like this was my only chance to…
Remix the City: Comment — AfterEffects Reflection
Working with Adobe AfterEffects has been an extremely pleasant experience, especially in contrast to the challenges I faced when working with Gimp. What I enjoyed most about Adobe AfterEffects was its easy format. A lot of the program’s functions resemble…
