October 2004

Today was a really cool art day, I woke up and aroun 10:30 met wit Manolo and Jaimie to work on the “magnetic words” project. Basically we took pieces of white cardboard and wrote on them words that came into our heads (along with another whole group of girls) and we stuck them around the city.

A few alleys, playgrounds, etc. were affected by this movement.

Last Saturday I had a wonderful opportunity to speak at Southern Exposure in the www.Stretcher.org consortium.

It was really great to sit down and speak about the myriad networks that are present in our lives. I got to meet a whole bunch of new people and perhaps will be able to collaborate with them in the future.

So for my tesseract class

On Sept. 28th we had bad luck with tech so we talked about differences between AIM and Phone and talked about benefits of vocal intonation etc.

Sept 30 work day (assignment look at super bad, and free form content from adobe go live. The new assigned project must have at least two pages, and one link back and forth. October 5th work day. Critique on the 7th. The last two days of class I’ve taught aspects of flash, motion tween, shape tween, importing, etc. Now the first project is going to be in flash, a narrative about the idea of cyborg…are you a cyborg when you wear glasses, get shots, use a phone?
