9. Poster Critique


In class


The critque mainly focused on the singularity of using Andy Goldsworthy. During the critique the conclusion was made that while visually stimulating his artwork doesn't exactly capture the plurality of the concept of the internet. He only uses one kind of an object at a time and as a result it's too uniform which is not what I'm trying to say the internet is. As a result, I'm on the move to make a different poster design. Here's something to help with inspiration:

So after talking with Prof. Mendez in office hours we came to the decision of PLURALITY. I would do this through the survey that I've been asking so many of you kind people to fill out. Here is preliminary in a line of posters dealing more with the additive singularity of perspectives within the internet.



clicking will bar an even larger pdf so that you can read the text which is just a quote from Howard Rheingold's essay on optimism. In the Box with the x there will be a little card. Pictures to come soon.

8. Preliminary Poster Design


In class


Lecture on contemporary photographers. My favorite certainly being Teun Hocks. Incredibly interesting photographer and perfoming artist.



I had never heard of him before and his work is incredibly compelling by the way he shoots his self-portraits. There is definitely a feeling of restrained kinteic energy in his pieces.

First set of posters. They fit together. Still working some things out:





The horizontal piece is twice as long as the two vertical ones and they can be put together as the two vertical next to each other and the horizontal on top or below. As said before, still working things out. Each image can be clicked for larger versions. Highest quality (600 dpi) photographs found in actual prints, not on blog. This is because each file is around 100 megs. Sorry...
