Remix the City

This project ended up rather simple. At first I had a lot of ideas for this project. I love anything that calls for interaction or input from a lot of people. My ideas all gave people instructions in one way…

I got my idea almost immediately. After assessing Heimbold’s visual code, I realized that the building reminded me more of a museum than a place of creation. The white walls, the big empty spaces, and the general sterile vibe this…

My formula for a ‘new urbanism’ involves making the functional playable. To me, one of the greatest tragedies that befalls us as we age and get caught up in the day-to-day of capitalistic survival is the loss of our sense…

For my box project, I wanted to make something fun, so I chose the question mark cube from the Super Mario games. After giving up on GIMP, I used Photoshop to do the cube mapping, and printed it out on…

Here are some photos of our hallway-livingroom intervention. It represents my idea of a new urbanism. Contemporary cities, though shaped by humans, are devoid of humanity. They are overly structured and lack individual engagement. They are built to maximize efficiency, not…

For one of my conference projects, I will continue with this theme of impending student loan debt by making an interactive, higher education monopoly board. I will appropriate a game board, collage it to align with themes of college, it’s national impending debt…

Can space contain? If space can contain, is it restrictive? Is space context? Is space destructible? If space is destructible, can it be rebuilt? Can space be atmospheric? Who/what controls the atmosphere of space? Can space be shared? Can shared…

Are we extensions of our space? Could space be an individual’s mental and physical exchange with the environment? (Like a rhizome, or a Spinozian metabolic rhythm?) Can space take a form or is it free flowing and ambiguous? If not positive…

For my conference project I am going to make a a tent out of bubble wrap. I want to put lights on the inside and cushions on the floor and make it a space that contrasts with the cold impersonal…

For my conference project, I am going to make a photo collage of Heimbold loosely inspired by the style of Dada photo collaging. The aesthetic of Dada photo collaging embraces chance, accident and improvisation which are all important themes when…

I started my Sticker Champaign Project with confusions. After seeing some urban interference examples of reframing during the seminars and in the textbook. I started gather some idea for making a poster or advertisement form of reframing. Being interested by…

For my space intervention assignment I decided to fill a box with donuts and hide it somewhere in the main lobby of Heimbold. What inspired me to use donuts as my point of intervention for this box assignment was the…

My box project was funny. When I thought about what makes me happy, I said dressing up. I love clothes. I love everything about a dressing room littered with textiles. So I wanted to create a dressing room. On gimp…

Someone built a cardboard apartment on the subway!

Dear All, We’ll install our hijack on Monday, November 10th. Please update us on your part of the project by posting here to the class sketchbook, subject line: Space HiJack. *** Carboard Sofa

The evolution of my sticker project was sort of wild. When I first decided to do a nespresso campaign i really hadn’t worked anything else out, except I knew I wanted to utilize humor because I am no artist, and the…

How do we define spaces by function? Are spaces of transition not spaces of functionality? Are spaces not born out of tradition? Can spaces be redefined by a changing context? Are spaces stable? Are spaces in flux? How do we…

The first issue that Chtcheglov addresses is the concept of being bored with the city: we know how to “read every promise in faces” and we have to “strain to discover the mysteries on sidewalk billboards”. Even when taking into…

Is space a physical thing? In which all physical things are to be located? Are there areas where space doesn’t exist? Does space exist everywhere? What distinguishes different spaces? What determines where one space ends and another begins? Is authority…

Is space a quantifiable thing, or simply a human construction? If it is an idea developed by people, do all people conceive of space in the same way? Even within a single individual is the definition of space malleable? For…
