november 19 - material exploration + documentation
november 20 - material misuse + computation + abuse
november 21 - making + gift giving
by jessica karle
MATERIAL exploration + documentation — candy bar
experiments with reduction
experiments with changing states
BLEND(ing) in a normal application
a. to combine or mix so that the constituent parts are indistinguishable from each other
b. to combine varieties to obtain a mixture of a particular character, quality, or consistency
c. to form a unique mixture
d. to merge into one or unite
e. to create a harmonious effect or result
BLEND(ing) in a misused or reinterpreted application
a. an unexpected blend is created by arranging a field of disparate images (parts) that, through their lack of heirarchy and controlled spacing, blend together—however the individual parts are still distinguishable from the whole.
b. by extrapolating isolated visual components from each study a “topography” or landscape of the material is created. individual components are layered on top of each other to create a systematic, “blended” heirarchy—however the individual components still retain integrity.
MISUSE the act of blending through computational tools
MATERIAL misuse + computation
extrapolating interesting visual bits
a blended topography created from individual parts
individual parts, distinguishable from the whole
ABUSE & steal your peers misuses — aviv lichter, aggie toppins, supisa wattanasansanee
GIVE THANKS to those you “abused” — create a type treatment as a gift
compliments for the creators of the stolen “misuses”
THE GIFT a crown of excellence
GIVING BACK the gift opening
