Design Assignment 1: Action in Entropy of Batteries

Assignment — jbedford @ 6:04 pm

Attempting to feed ones self. A lone robot shops for batteries:

Inspiration: General public want to integrate robots into modern day society, but to what extent is that taken too far. Too the point of human sized robot playing the role of grocery shopping for a batteries.
Looking back this robot was rather intimidating.

Design Assignment 2: Observations on Schenley Plaza

Assignment,Submission — mvarner @ 5:56 pm

2: Schenley Park is located along Forbes Ave across from the Cathedral of Learning. It contains many small restaurants, greenspace, and a performance tent with seating areas.

3: It’s close to both University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon; along several bus routes; near the Main Carnegie Library, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and the Phipps Conservatory; and near a popular strip of Forbes Ave, creating a confluence of a variety of people. The area surrounding the Plaza are points of interest or necessity for many people, and nearly half the people observed were using the area as a through-way to get to another place. This creates a passive audience, some of which may be willing to pause if they see something out of the ordinary.

4: Seating alongside Forbes Avenue provide small, intimate spaces potentially for storytelling or small-scale performance.

5: These areas were also filled with semi-enclosed outlet plugs. Some of the observed plugs had been affected by outside elements to the point where they were no longer useable, but the still-working ones could provide a valuable power-source for interventions that require use of computers, projectors, and/or other electronic equipment

6: Those who were actively at the park were observed to be using the walkway along the edge of Schenley Drive. The large tent at the end of this pathway not only provides performance space for medium scale acts, but also provides a white, matte surface that could potentially be used for projection.

Kaleidoscope is a term derived from the Ancient Greek: kalos meaning “beauty”,eidos, which is form andskopeō, “to look to, to examine” hence “observation of beautiful forms”.

In this serie I play with ordinary scenes where a mere mirror invites to enter different realities. It also questions the limits between public and private spheres: the mirror, an element traditionally belonging to an intimate space- such as the bathroom- is placed outdoors.
