Artist Statement:
Andrew makes art pieces that are designed to make people
thing about specific concepts. He achieves this through the use of technologies
that he learned in college as a CS major and through psychological principles
to impact the way that people think about things. He uses a combination of
digitally created visuals and physical devices to make sure there is impact on
the viewer/user.
“A Working Community”
The goal of this project is to make people aware of the
implied trust that we all have in each other. For example I trust people will
not attack me as I walk around campus and people will not cheat me on
agreements. I want to achieve this though some sort of community simulation
using digital technologies and hopefully some physical devices.
“Cyborg Art”
For this project I want the viewer to interact with a
computer program in order to create a unique work of art. They could interact
through gesture recognition or just changing some values that get fed into the
algorithm. Harold Cohen inspired the idea and his artwork he makes with a
program he made called “AARON”.
“Meaning Map”
For this project I want to visualize a mapping of word
meanings. It would be something like a graph and each point on the graph would
be a word and it would connect to other words to form the graph. For example
‘banana’ would connect to ‘monkey’, ‘apple’, ‘slip’. This could be used to show
differences between dialects or differences between languages.
I'm curious what your ideas were for "A Working Community". I feel that there is some connection between this and my idea "The Walls We Build". I would be interested in communicating with you about this idea and gain understanding of your considerations.

ReplyDeletemeaning map would be cool but it sounds like a lot of hardcoding. Maybe if you wanted to do that then you could find some unique word associations. or maybe connections between the same words but in different languages.
