At the end of the line

So, I’m at a total loss. How do I organize this mess into a presentable artwork for a gallery/bacherlor’s crit? For those who missed the story: I made a profile on Facebook for part of my Bachelors (ok that’s uhh boring) It’s name is Art Dova. It’s login was dovafacebook @ gmail dot com and its password [...]

I’ll admit it

A) I owe Dave a favor: http://shortscreen.com/ There you go. B) I admit to being more than a bit depressed.  I’m unhappy with school.  I’m super unhappy.  I have a BA where there is meat to dig deeper (and apparently the crit is Tuesday, not Thursday).  People love the ambiguity, what is discoverable if I can give a [...]

Art Dova is Back (perhaps in Black)

I’m happy beyond Words. I treated it like a person. There is a whole conversation on my facebook wall about what I should do for the next time around.  And it is so helpful because Art Dova is back!  I feel like I found a close friend or something.  So strange…. Yay!

Art Dova: Forms of Personhood on Facebook

Image by Getty Images via Daylife I would love to get the data of this project  back from Facebook.  I guess it belongs to me, but I’m not sure of that.  It also belongs to them.  It belongs to the collective as well.  I’m not sure.  Either way, it would help my Bachelors to get the [...]

My Image, MySelf

Image via Wikipedia For those of you who noticed, after all this time, my actual face, no makeup, plus glasses, is my Disqus Icon.  I might changed the photo.  The drawing, however, in the background, I think I want to stay It required a huge push from a number of people.  I’ve been Iconless for a while.  [...]

Critiques In Tech

Image by qthomasbower via Flickr In effort to catch up on posts I am thinking about (I still need to finish Techstars boulder, write up about the last NYTech Meetup which I will have to watch post the event, and read up on all the crazy news about ATT&T and mobile phones…and school), I thought I [...]

Choices

So, good news for me! I am about halfway to three quarters way done with my very first piece of code (which is not long, say toy sized), which also happens to be my very fist I guess, “2d”, piece for my ba, considering I sort of switched thesis topics.  The major hurdles are capished.  [...]

The Matryokshka Doll Principle

Image by Jeff Belmonte via Flickr The Matryoshka Doll Principle, Chinese Box Design, however you would call it. This principle will be a guiding force for the rest of your career.  It forces you into a quality product.  I see it all the time in products, particularly tech products that we all crave, as a technique [...]

The Artist’s/Coder education: Blind Contour

Image via Wikipedia I wanted do a series about the art of design, rather than the more practical humdrum side. Most people find it very difficult to think creatively this way.  It takes a lot of practice, beyond native intelligence.  It is not a matter of just knowing how the facts work, but also a matter of [...]
