Revision as of 14:06, 28 January 2010

My name is Simon Quiroz, I am in my fifth year at UCSD which is by the way my last year. I am double majoring in Visual Arts Media with emphasis in computing and theater.

Although I do not consider myself an artistic person overall, I am attracted to the idea of technology as an art form and the ways in which this one manipulates, reshapes or confirms our values and perceptions of reality. Furthermore, technology is what at a great extent impacts the individual and the current society in terms of politics, economics, etc.

I do not have very much experience when it comes to electronics. However, in my short experience I have managed to learn a few computer languages such as C, php, python, perl, etc.

Other interests include cinema and its forms of production and the ways in which we can incorporate different technologies in its ways of production and distribution. Also, I am a co-founder of a production company in which we can incorporate many of this ideas, named Lumalin.

Midterm Proposal:

Although I might change my mind for something else that crosses my mind, I propose, for now, the idea to build a two switch project dedicated to the separation of two camera shoes to mount two cameras for stereography. The project would consist on a rotatory switch that would let one select between a) close and b) spread and the second switch that would execute the movement, action. The camera shoes would be attached to a motor that would separate them or bring them close.

What it'd look like
