Emergent Identity: my work

What the if… happened!

Apr 13, 10:21 AM // Comment [3015] // Filed under:

DSC04785.JPGWow, what a time warp I’ve been in for the last couple of weeks. It was a whirlwind of implementation, execution, and continuous refinement, all the while trying to balance letting things emerge while keeping efforts organized and focused.

Well, for the most part anyway. Amazing things happen when 8 people work together for 8 hours for a common vision. One might even say things… emerge!

What the if…

In general, there needs to be a sense of a sustained, prolonged campaign that unites all the ‘interventionist’ pieces that I create and install. It’s not necessary that my pieces are all ‘created’ by me, in fact, they can be using commercially created designs or technologies that I position and install in appropriate places in order to interrupt the expectations of my audience (the CDes community). However, it is necessary that they create a strong presence that is purposefully orchestrated by me. Place and method should have a purpose and a meaning.

. . . emerges pattern. Using a cardboard square as my starting point, I quickly created three photocopies and used those as the modular pieces (or starting points) for three more complex patterns. Once these patterns were created, I continued working with the concept of refinement over time (as is a quality of emergence) as well as degradation over time (as with photocopies) and tried to enhance that through my over-printing techniques.
