Remix the City

Here are images of the materials I have added to my project. I chose these lights because they are cordless and create a calming atmosphere. I am in a bit of a waiting game now because my hula hoop has…

I tend to be wary of adding another screen to a world already saturated with screens. I assume a certain level of difficulty in making that something positive because so often our experience of screens is negative. Before reading ‘The…

As the semester comes to a close and there is less than a week left to finalize my conference project, I feel confident in the work I have accomplished. I am at a really good spot with my work, and…

This is a sketch for my infographic – I chose the information that seemed most interesting from the data I’d gathered, and drafted a few rough layouts. Then I made sure that each segment, or chunk of information, had a…

The need for a New Urbanism is very urgent. Through our class discussions, readings etc, I have realized how much the cities/environments we live in need to be modified or somewhat recreated to be humanized again. The Beach Beneath the…

For my text project, I decided to explore “questions of space”, narrowing it down to the concept/notion of home. I was really inspired by the “Dakota” video by Young Hae Chang, so I am trying to follow the same style….

How many ways can one take up space? Can a relationship between two people be considered a space? What determines the size and the shape and the functions of this imagined space? When a physical space is altered, does it…

So I’ve been working on my audio intervention project by pursuing a couple different parallel threads – – The Physical aspect -My project will need speakers to work, small, portable speakers that can be placed underneath tables and on walls…

The universality and exclusions, which define modern urban space, lead to the destructive forces of post-modern architecture, to the removal of context and inclusion of exclusion in design. There is an inherent need to re-humanize architecture, returning to smaller realities and localizing interventions…

My box project focused primarily on the creation of an event. The event was up to the participants discretion. I simply provided the small and self referential gear in a specific location. People could wear, hit, stomp, or take any…

I have always had a strong fascination with advertisements, and the power dynamics the symbolize. To give context briefly, some of my first small acts of unsanctioned public art was in high school, when I was tired of looking at…

For this project, I collected the dedication pages of books in the library, wrappers of granola and nut bars, and various kinds of black markers. For the dedication pages, I noticed slight variation in the formatting of the pages but…

Heimbold’s design falls in this increasingly popular category of architecture which is heavy on the odd angles (as in, angles that aren’t 90 degrees) and a very linear/geometric exterior design. This is reflected in buildings like Cooper Union. I am…

I considered Chip Kidd’s statement that “graphic design is problem-solving” (Kidd 2) while strategizing this sticker process. He points out that there’s so much visual “noise” everywhere that we often need a speed bump to get people’s attention because it…

Since starting my conference I have seen a need to shift towards a new idea. Originally, I was thinking about commodity and personal agency over one’s art, however I struggled to find a productive goal for the project which I…

I decided to save some money and get the materials I need from home over break. We have an abundance of decadent silverware and dishware that my family wouldn’t mind me using. I have one friend who has agreed to…

Art can extend the cooperative qualities of nature into social life. All that we know about life is that it is an organized movement – It is chaos and complexity. The aesthetic begins by organizing the powers of matter and…

Sartre’s example of a intuition is telling “remove the prohibition to circulate in the streets after curfew, and what meaning can there be fore me to have the freedom… to take a walk at night?” Sartre goes out for a…

I have made a lot of progress on my conference work since the first wordpress assignment. Most recently (as in 5 minutes ago), I purchased several materials that I will need for the installation of my photo collage. Such supplies…

Concrete Design — Arises out of its own means and laws, without these having to be derived or borrowed from natural phenomena. This term is important. It lends itself to the idea of social conditioning, which pushes beyond the idea of naturalness….
