  The Dinosaurs are Fighting Back! How was class feedback?   Going through the class discussion was actually really helpful to my process and helping me advance my ability in not only receiving but giving good critiques. With the environment we set up I felt good about discussing my works without feeling the need to defend our personal choices. That being said I was still able to receive any criticism leveled against my choices and took them into consideration when deciding what to ultimately go with for my refinement. While I got constructive feedback on most of my pieces the most positive response was to my piece ‘the dinosaurs are fighting back’. While it was ultimately my decision on what I did I thought the dinosaur piece was one of my better ideas and was glad that others were responding well to it.      Going through some of the critique leveled against my pieces I’ll focus on the piece I chose. The dinosaur's feedback was really helpful, o...

  Mesh Mashup Extravaganza! To start diving into our mesh mashup project I tried to use a range of ideas when exploring remix. Because remix culture covers a wild variety of genres and effects many different things I thought it was important to branch out how I express my ideas. To do this I explored prompts such as a piece with narrative, a look at existing name brands, and stories that connected to my personal life.

As artists the creation of art is insanely important to us all, we have sources of inspiration and things that give us a drive to create. When I thought about this deeper I came up with a surprising revaluation to me, all artists participate in remix culture. It's something that is so obvious but I had never thought about it before. Ever artists has sources they take...

    "Why not enjoy them today. Because we all have so many thing that are just around in the closet they're in the attic, whatever, that we don't even think of them anymore[..]" (Rob Walker)   Coming out of Gary Hushwit's Objectified my thoughts kept ruminating back to three speakers Rob Walker, Hella Jongerius, and Bill Moggridge. These three all shared similar perspectives towards design and more importantly the relationship humans have with objects.  Rob walkers above quote about enjoying the things we already had particularly stood out to me. As someone whose always had an interest in gaming and the consoles surrounding them the way the film talks to the enjoyment and sentimental values over time reminded me of an object extremely important to me, my Nintendo 3DS. While Nintendo has come out with several different consoles since the original release of the DS line and many more companies releasing consoles in efforts to consistently meet the gaming mark...
