A Story is Not a Tree

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…

In our group game, rather than choose between designing a simulation based on behavior or designing a game with a goal state, Ben and I decided to combine the two. We designed our game “Attendance” to make players understand and…

For the particles lab I didn’t make so much a game as a digital toy to play with. The game starts with this cool image. The green circles are all orbiting the red circle using the solar system code, with…

For my amusement park ride I thought that the best thing to do with matrices was spinning. The push and pop matrix format worked really well for rotations, so I came up with this. The black squares on the outside…

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….

For my box project I made a couple of boxes  for people to put their thoughts into. I left slips of paper and labeled the boxes ‘thoughts to discard’ and ‘thoughts to share’. These labels were intentionally open ended in order…

For our (Grace and Mathilde) conference project, we want to make a sticker story, explaining what Remix The City is, and the notions of space. The notions of space as in how we interact with it and how it impacts…

Today our culture and society is built around similarity and familiarity. We know what to expect everyday, what we are going to do, and who and what we are going to hear and see. Most of a daily activities are…

Is space tangible? Is space intangible? Does space have monetary value? Who determines if a space is public or private? Where is ‘your’ space? What makes it ‘your’ space? Who calls is ‘your’ space? Who determines whose space is whose?…

Our awesome class!
