My conference project took a few turns as I searched for written messages to map throughout the SLC Campus. I took pictures of most of the campus, and found that the places with the most graffiti were either bathroom stalls, or…

My map defines the process of determining where people are most happy on our campus. It also maps the personal, social, and intellectual fulfillment according to where people live based on the results of a survey I administered for my…

For my conference project I wanted to go off of my previous map. I was happy with my self-portrait but finally I realized it had too much information. My idea about national identity didn’t come across as much as I…

My final map: The “making the invisible visible” idea of my map is visualizing the inner world and let the feelings blend into the real world. The real world is presented through recording myself through camera. It is the catching…

This is the sketch of my map surface: My process of doing this conference project was quite different from my usual routine. I used to make plans and tried to think everything through before starting. However, this time I tried to reduce…

My final game is very similar to my first draft, but it did suffer some changes. The player is now coloured yellow, while the police is blue. He is trying to get to his red Ferrari without being noticed. He…

Catch Me If You Can is my final conference game, it is designed in a very simple way, giving a player simple controls and a clear goal. As seen on the first sketch the player is controlling the colored smaller…

In a previous draft of this map, the main focus of my project was to use a series of circles, with each layer of the circle representing a different fear. The closer to the center of the circle, the deeper…

When I began with this installation project, I was very daunted by both the size, and the pressure to deliver such a poignant message. My installation hopes to “overwhelm by fact”. Once you enter you are faced with a monitor…

Perhaps the most difficult part of finalizing our conference game was trying to figure out how to port the game from the desktop to the tablet. Although we had come up with a fairly simply and attractive interface on our…

Spare Me is a conventional platformer with a bright palette and a whole lot of bowling balls. Make your way to the tiny star to advance to the next level, but proceed with caution. If you get smacked, it’s back…

This map aims to make visible countries which, for whatever reason, no longer exist. These countries might have been annexed, voluntarily become part of another country, or have been secessionist states that were quickly dissolved. Some, like Transylvania, still exist…

**having trouble uploading more attachments right now, please hold…** On the “draw anything” part of the interview worksheet for this class, I remember drawing a very offhanded illustration of how I saw the process of money laundering. It’s pretty weird,…

  My map defines the process of trying to calculate the happiness of Sarah Lawrence’s campus. I am in Adam Brown’s Psychological Science of Happiness class and for my conference project I administered a survey to attempt to map the…

For my conference project I decided to revisit the self portrait assignment from the beginning of the semester.  A cut-and-paste collage method was all I could really manage at that time, and the resulting image was one of the goofiest…

My map defines the invisible process of the way in which natural light adds to the beauty and theatricality of specific buildings in New York City. I feel as though the sunlight that streams in through the windows of these…

My map defines the invisible process of the Ordinary. Kathleen Stewart’s depiction of this concept in her ethnography Ordinary Affects inspired my attempt to adapt this into the format of a map. As an anthropologist, Stewart attempts to illustrate life…

With Polarity Shiyuan and I constructed a game that played more like a system.   The base game utilized the concept of polarity in that it attracted and repelled particles based on whether they were a plus or minus sign. We used this to…

My conference project is centered around the theme of being overwhelmed by facts, more specifically statistics concerning the state of Syria and Iraq during their “war” with the IS. On TV and through other media sources we are reminded of…
