<div>== Title ==<br />
Super Mario Slaughter<br />
<br />
== Motivation ==<br />
<br />
This piece was motivated by my interest in video games and idea that art doesn't need to be serious all the time (because you know, "art" is serious business). This piece is essentially a role reversal of the classic mario video game franchise. Here, the user assumes the role of bowser and indulges in a nonstop slaughter of his mortal enemy. <br />
<br />
== Paradigm thing or whatever ==<br />
<br />
Instead of using a traditional video game controller, the user swings his/her arms to kill the torrential downpour of marios. 100 mario kills equal 1 peach kill. I wanted to make something with a more intuitive interface (reflective of dreams?) ionno. hah. <br />
<br />
== Technical Description ==<br />
<br />
This piece utilizes OpenCV and processing to create a non-controller based user interface to immerse the user in a video game dreamscape (in respect to bowser). I created some graphic elements in illustrator while editing existing nintendo sprites for use in the game.<br />

Super Mario Slaughter<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
<br />
*Motivation<br />
<br />
This piece was motivated by my interest in video games and idea that art doesn't need to be serious all the time (because you know, "art" is serious business). This piece is essentially a role reversal of the classic mario video game franchise. Here, the user assumes the role of bowser and indulges in a nonstop slaughter of his mortal enemy. <br />
<br />
*Paradigm thing or whatever<br />
<br />
Instead of using a traditional video game controller, the user swings his/her arms to kill the torrential downpour of marios. 100 mario kills equal 1 peach kill. I wanted to make something with a more intuitive interface (reflective of dreams?) ionno. hah. <br />
<br />
*Technical Description<br />
<br />
This piece utilizes OpenCV and processing to create a non-controller based user interface to immerse the user in a video game dreamscape (in respect to bowser).<br />

<div>== Title ==<br />
Super Mario Slaughter<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
<br />
*Motivation<br />
<br />
This piece was motivated by my interest in video games and idea that art doesn't need to be serious all the time (because you know, "art" is serious business). This piece is essentially a role reversal of the classic mario video game franchise. Here, the user assumes the role of bowser and indulges in a nonstop slaughter of his mortal enemy. <br />
<br />
*Paradigm thing or whatever<br />
<br />
Instead of using a traditional video game controller, the user swings his/her arms to kill the torrential downpour of marios. 100 mario kills equal 1 peach kill. I wanted to make something with a more intuitive interface (reflective of dreams?) ionno. hah. <br />
<br />
*Technical Description<br />
<br />
This piece utilizes OpenCV and processing to create a non-controller based user interface to immerse the user in a video game dreamscape (in respect to bowser).<br />

== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==<br />
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228<br />
<br />
This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course. <br />
<br />
I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.<br />
<br />
The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.<br />

<br />
Office Hours: Wednesday 3-4pm, Atkinson Hall Rm 1601 (CRCA research neighborhood). Please e-mail me if you plan to attend.<br />
<br />
== Grading ==<br />
*Midterm Project - 30%<br />
*Final Project - 40%<br />
*Presentations - 10%<br />
*Readings/Assignments/Homework - 10%<br />
*Participation - 10%<br />
<br />
=== Presentations ===<br />
(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)<br />
<br />
(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)<br />
<br />
=== Reading Responses ===<br />
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.<br />
<br />
=== Projects ===<br />
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.<br />
=== Documentation Policy ===<br />
*section on your project<br />
*source code<br />
*image/video documentation. 5 images or 5 videos.<br />
*descriptive writing (on intent, motivation, context)<br />
<br />
=== Attendance ===<br />
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.<br />

* In Class:<br />
** Work on computer vision projects<br />
** Talk about midterm projects.<br />
<br />
=== Week 5 - Midterm Workshop ===<br />
*Due: Midterm project proposal.<br />
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.<br />
*In class:<br />
**Workshop midterm project ideas. (45 minutes)<br />
**Work on midterm projects. <br />
*NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.<br />

<br />
=== Presentations ===<br />
(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)<br />
<br />
(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)<br />
<br />
=== Reading Responses ===<br />
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.<br />
<br />
=== Projects ===<br />
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.<br />
=== Documentation Policy ===<br />
*section on your project<br />
*source code<br />
*image/video documentation. 5 images or 5 videos.<br />
*descriptive writing (on intent, motivation, context)<br />
<br />
=== Attendance ===<br />
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.<br />

<br />
=== Week 4 - Computer Vision Work ===<br />
* In Class:<br />
** Work on computer vision projects<br />
** Talk about midterm projects.<br />
<br />
=== Week 5 - Midterm Workshop ===<br />
*Due: Midterm project proposal.<br />
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.<br />
*In class:<br />
**Workshop midterm project ideas. (45 minutes)<br />
**Work on midterm projects. <br />
*NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
*Motivation<br />
<br />
This piece was motivated by my interest in video games and idea that art doesn't need to be serious all the time. This piece is essentially a role reversal of the classic mario video game franchise. Here, the user assumes the role of bowser and indulges in a nonstop slaughter of his mortal enemy. <br />
<br />
*Technical Description<br />
<br />
This piece utilizes OpenCV and processing to create a non-controller based user interface to immerse the user in a video game dreamscape (in respect to bowser).<br />

*Motivation<br />
<br />
Same motivation as midterm really...<br />
<br />
I would like to utilize motion/facial tracking to construct a virtual aquarium projected on screen. The projection would depict a dark aquarium and when motion is detected (person walking in front of webcam), a tiny orb would light up amidst the darkness. When a face becomes recognized, the ambiguous orb reveals itself as the lure from an angler fish which jumps towards the persons face and crash onto the screen as if it were glass. Stylistically, i want to stay in the same line as the sunflower project and create a few distinct animations with their own nuances. <br />
<br />
*Technical Description<br />
<br />
I would like to create the animations in flash and somehow incorporate them into processing using open CV.<br />

== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==<br />
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228<br />
<br />
This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course. <br />
<br />
I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.<br />
<br />
The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.<br />

Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)<br />
<br />
(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)<br />
<br />
=== Reading Responses ===<br />
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.<br />
<br />
=== Projects ===<br />
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.<br />

**face recognition<br />
*In Class:<br />
**Working alone or in small groups, do experiments with video processing and computer vision.<br />
<br />
=== Week 4 - Computer Vision Work ===<br />
* In Class:<br />
** Work on computer vision projects<br />
** Talk about midterm projects.<br />
<br />
=== Week 5 - Midterm Workshop ===<br />
*Due: Midterm project proposal.<br />
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.<br />
*In class:<br />
**Workshop midterm project ideas. (45 minutes)<br />
**Work on midterm projects. <br />
*NOTE: Best of ICAM from Candy Harris. There will be an install in the annex here at Mandeville and presentations at the Experimental Theater in the CPMC (music building). They should come see what they are going to have to live up to for their final projects. Plus the keynote speakers (ICAM alumns) always have great info about career paths after graduation.<br />
<br />
=== Week 6 ===<br />
In class work on midterms.<br />
<br />
=== Week 7 - Midterm Critiques ===<br />
In class critique of midterms.<br />
<br />
=== Week 8 ===<br />
<br />
Due: Written response (1 page) to one of your classmate's projects.<br />
<br />
In Class: Draft final project proposal and post to wiki by the end of class. In class discussion as needed.<br />

*Motivation<br />
<br />
My artistic interests mainly revolve around the frivolous and care free aspects of life. In an effort to reflect these ideas in my midterm project, I propose to create an anthropomorphized flower sleeping in a garden. <br />
*Interactive paradigm<br />
<br />
I would like to utilize a computer mic as the mode for interaction. The goal is to create a user interface that is as transparent as possible. I would like the visualization to appear as a logical index of user input. Basically the user would blow into the mic and the interaction would translate into "virtual" wind blowing onto the flower. Depending on volume and duration, the flower would experience a light breeze or gale force winds. I would also like to include varying facial expressions for the flower in response to the wind. <br />
<br />
*Technical Description<br />
<br />
I would like to create the animations in flash and somehow incorporate them into processing.<br />

<div>== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==<br />
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228<br />
<br />
This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course. <br />
<br />
I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.<br />
<br />
The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.<br />

<br />
Office Hours: Wednesday 3-4pm, Atkinson Hall Rm 1601 (CRCA research neighborhood). Please e-mail me if you plan to attend.<br />
<br />
== Grading ==<br />
*Midterm Project - 30%<br />
*Final Project - 40%<br />
*Presentations - 10%<br />
*Readings - 10%<br />
*Participation - 10%<br />
<br />
=== Presentations ===<br />
(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)<br />
<br />
(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)<br />
<br />
=== Reading Responses ===<br />
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.<br />
<br />
=== Projects ===<br />
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.<br />
=== Documentation Policy ===<br />
*personal wiki page<br />
*source code on wiki<br />
*image/video documentation as appropriate. <br />
*explanatory writing (on intent, motivation, context)<br />
<br />
=== Attendance ===<br />
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.<br />

<br />
=== Week 5 - Midterm Workshop ===<br />
*Due: Midterm project proposal.<br />
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.<br />

*Due: Midterm project proposal.<br />
**Working individually or in small groups (2-3 people), produce an interactive piece that bridges the gap between screen space and physical space. There are many ways to do this--using image-based computer vision techniques, game controllers, audio input, or other physical hardware (Arduino?). Think about the parameters of interaction--are you documenting viewer's behavior (unknown to them), are you taking a familiar form (such as a video game) and tweaking it in some way, are you intervening in social space? Think about what form the output will take. In your one page proposal, describe the input(s), output(s), and dynamic of interaction, as well as some statement of your motivation. Why is this a valuable or interesting project? In addition to the written description, produce supporting visual materials. These should be two functional diagram images and two visual/aesthetic images. The functional diagrams should show the necessary software and hardware components and explain how the interaction will occur. The aesthetic diagrams will give us a sense of what it will look like, how the output will appear. Make a page for your project (including a title) in the Midterm Projects section at the bottom of this page, upload the necessary materials and embed them in that page. This proposal is due in class next week where we will critique and workshop the ideas.<br />

<div>== Time and Process Based Digital Media II ==<br />
Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20pm, VAF 228<br />
<br />
This class is an advanced study and portfolio project course centered on the use of hardware and software to create interactive and time-based art. These projects can take many forms—interactive installations, dynamic visualizations/sonifications, printed renderings—chosen by the students. This will not be a course of technical instruction—rather we will consider technical and conceptual issues in tandem, supplementing discussions and activities with specific technical instruction where necessary. There is a strong emphasis on the development and articulation of personal directions of research by the students in the course. <br />
<br />
I would like to split the reading/homework responsibility for two parts of the class. In the first half of the term I will present a series of works and readings covering my particular interests--the intersections of social performance, embodied experience, and cognition. In the latter half of the class (after the midterm) you all will do the presentations on topics of your choosing. Working individually or in small groups, you will provide us with some conceptual provocation (reading material) covering topics you intend to engage with your final, and you will lead a discussion on technical and conceptual issues. Reading and critical writing, in response to text and works you present and those I present, are integral to this course.<br />
<br />
The schedule is a living document and will be revised over the period of the course.<br />

<br />
Office Hours: Wednesday 3-4pm, Atkinson Hall Rm 1601 (CRCA research neighborhood). Please e-mail me if you plan to attend.<br />
<br />
== Grading ==<br />
*Midterm Project - 30%<br />
*Final Project - 40%<br />
*Presentations - 10%<br />
*Readings - 10%<br />
*Participation - 10%<br />
<br />
=== Presentations ===<br />
(1) Short presentation on your work in the second week of class. This should be a statement of your interests, direction, goals with media art. Present examples from your own work which you feel strongly about, and which best represent your interests and trajectory. Present examples of other artist's work that serve as models for the kind of work you would like to make. (5-10 minutes each)<br />
<br />
(2) Medium presentation on final projects in the second semester of the course (weeks 7-9). This is the portion of the class where you dictate the reading and the discussion. If you are presenting on a given week, you need to provide us with a reading 1 week in advance. We will sign up for those time slots in week 6, just after the midterm. (10-15 minutes)<br />
<br />
=== Reading Responses ===<br />
These are written summaries and critical responses to materials assigned for out of class viewing. Things to consider: What points does the author make? Do you buy their assumptions or agree with their conclusions? Reading responses will be printed and turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. Generally these should be 1 page long.<br />
<br />
=== Projects ===<br />
Midterm and final projects will be graded on concept, effort, and realization. Formal proposals are a necessary component of the process so take them seriously. Make the effort to get started early and seek the help you need--we want to see finished, well-considered pieces for the midterm and final. Additionally, you will need to submit documentation of the project after completion which includes images, video, and source code where applicable. These materials (proposals and documentation) will all be posted to the wiki.<br />
=== Documentation Policy ===<br />
*personal wiki page<br />
*source code on wiki<br />
*image/video documentation as appropriate. <br />
*explanatory writing (on intent, motivation, context)<br />
<br />
=== Attendance ===<br />
Attendance is mandatory. Each unexcused absence will drop your final grade one letter. There are only 10 weeks of class, please come to them all.<br />

I'm mostly interested in representational work and involved with traditional practices like illustration, painting, sculpture and design. Although I incorporate digital technologies like video and photo editing software, I’m aware that they merely become a substitution for traditional processes. I generally take a carefree and casual approach to art making and tend to feel bogged down when tasked to impose some kind of political, social or otherwise cultural commentary to an artwork. Although I often have opinions on such matters, I currently don't feel compelled to illustrate them creatively. I've also discovered a new [albeit shocking] interest in creative writing [science fiction & fantasy], and I'm genuinely curious to see how it blooms—or wilts. <br />

Maybe I'm stupid, but it took me a while to see that the Art Department here at UCSD has a fervent disposition for the "conceptual" hemisphere of art, which leaves a lot to be desired with the equally as important "formal" hemisphere. I've decided to roll with the punches—to absorb as much as I can with my time here [trying to fit it all within the context of my current aspirations for the future] and hopefully attend a graduate program that balances this out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Time and process in digital media is a fascinating new venture for me but my current aspirations for nurturing my few strengths and many weaknesses, particularly within illustration and design, take precedence over setting sail towards these uncharted waters. That’s not to say that the journey through time and process in digital media isn't worth taking though. I just haven’t found my bearings yet, if at all.<br />
<br />
<br />
My CV is almost completely populated with doodles, sketches, and ideas. I'm not the prolific art maker that I'd like to be and I'm on a mission to figure out why.<br />

I'm mostly interested in representational work and involved with traditional practices like illustration, painting, sculpture and design. Although I incorporate digital technologies like video and photo editing software, I’m aware that they merely become a substitution for traditional processes. I generally take a carefree and casual approach to art making and tend to feel bogged down when tasked to impose some kind of political, social or otherwise cultural commentary to an artwork. Although I often have opinions on such matters, I currently don't feel compelled to illustrate them creatively. I've also discovered a new [albeit shocking] new interest in creative writing [science fiction & fantasy], and I'm genuinely curious to see how it blooms—or wilts. <br />

I've come to realize that the Art Department here at UCSD has a fervent disposition for the "conceptual" hemisphere of art, which leaves a lot to be desired with the equally as important "formal" hemisphere. I've decided to roll with the punches—to absorb as much as I can with my time here and hopefully attend a graduate program that balances this out. I'm mostly interested in representational work and involved with traditional practices like illustration, painting, sculpture and design. Although I incorporate digital technologies like video and photo editing software, I’m aware that they merely become a substitution for traditional processes. Time and process in digital media is a fascinating new venture for me but my current aspirations for nurturing my few strengths and many weaknesses, particularly within illustration and design, take precedence over setting sail towards these uncharted waters. That’s not to say that it isn’t a journey worth taking though. I just haven’t found my bearings for it yet, if at all.<br />
