POV #10 / Reflection

portland

End of the Term Reflections – 5 pts

It is that time of year to look back on a term in the Design Discourse.

You are to write a 500 word paper reflecting on how your POV has changed since the beginning of Winter term and if it applies over the past two terms.

There is no required reference to research, but if you feel inspired to mention a reading that helped change your POV, please do so.

Remember this is not to be a critique on the course, but a refection on how you have changed due to the class, the readings and our discussions.

DUE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19th as a PDF emailed to me

Do not forget to do your course reviews and sign up for class next term before it is too late!

 

POV #5 conversation notes

CEREBRAL HUT from Guvenc Ozel on Vimeo.
Created by Guvenc Ozel (ozeloffice.com) Cerebral Hut is a kinetic installation that works with an interface that measures brain frequencies and turns them into a reactive environment. It was initially on view in the Fall of 2012 at Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, as part of the Istanbul Design Biennial. Its second installment happened in Saatchi Gallery in London during August 2013, as a part of “Red Never Follows” exhibition sponsored by the fashion brand Hugo. In London, the electromechanical design and applications were updated by media artists Onur Sonmez and Jaak Kaevats.

With his team at SENSEable City Lab, MIT’s Carlo Ratti makes cool things by sensing the data we create. He pulls from passive data sets — like the calls we make, the garbage we throw away — to create surprising visualizations of city life. And he and his team create dazzling interactive environments from moving water and flying light, powered by simple gestures caught through sensors.
