Masterpieces

Final Blog: For my final project I decided to create a t-shirt design. Many people are creating t-shirt designs with writing of their own or someone else's, much like Virgil Abloh with off-white, so I decided that I would try it out. I had a few of my friends each create a design on the shirt along

For my final project, I wanted to revive an old unfinished piece from last semester. I wanted to weave the realms of digital and analog in a musical context. I also wanted to create the conversation of digital music as an accessible medium to creating music for those who aren't well-versed in musici

For my final piece for this class I really wanted to play with the ideas and themes that I worked with over the semester, and think about my works this semester as the building block to lead up to the over themes and ideas that composed this piece. When reflecting on my past project I had th

For project 3, I replicated computer parts into wooden duplicates and installed them into a computer tower. I did this by taking photos of the computer parts, taking the image to Photoshop to create a black and white image, then to Illustrotor to rasterize the image and create a vector outline of t

For this project I did a fan animation tribute to the new champion rework of Irelia, from League of Legends, a champion known as the blade dancer. I created animations inspired by the champion and reused existing animations released with the rework for the video. The audio is cut from a piano instru

For this project, I wanted to combine the digital and the analog in a unique way that also felt colorful, fun, personal, and stayed true to my aesthetic. I knew I wanted to work with home photo / video and polaroids since the beginning of this unit, but my final project ended up changing slightly. F

Alexis Robinson Blog 6 Project 2 This project I was truly inspired by the NCAA projection mapping. I just knew I really wanted to focus on basketball. Basketball is something I carry very close to my heart. It the biggest part of my identity. Therefore i thought this would be a more enjoyable task f

I really liked this idea of how science-fiction and science are a feedback loop of each other. It is pretty fascinating how science-fiction movies pull from real science and technology that is around at the time of the movie's production, but they take it and stretch it to this almost ridiculous se

For this project, I decided to comment on the beauty industry, idealized feminine culture, and vanity. I used four videos, two of the same gifs that I made to project onto a white and pink jewelry box. Jewelry, jewelry boxes, and mirrors are often perceived as symbols of vanity, so I used a jewelry

Project statement: I went with a mixed Lunar New Year and American political theme for this projection mapping project. This was Donald Trump’s first year in office, and 2018 is the Year of the Dog which is also Trump’s birth year, so I believed this was a fitting theme. Last Lunar New Year, a Chine

For my fourth project, I compiled 152 of the poems that I wrote over the past year together. Then, I paired each poem with a quote that is is similar to the poem written. I chose to do 150 poems and 2 final "doxologies" to mirror the biblical psalms. I did this using Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustr

For our final project, I wanted to revisit the idea I had for the last show in creating digital collages. I pined through tons of vintage photo archives in order to find similar, black and white images that felt cohesive. I then edited the photos to convey my theme, which was toxic relationships. I

This untitled project automatically generates digital "paintings" using Processing. 5,000 on-screen particles move through a pseudo-randomly generated vector field and leave a trail as they move. The user can control the parameters of the particles' movement using an on-screen interface. The

For Project 3, I made a record player entirely out of LEGO bricks, paper, a rubber band, a paper clip. I wanted to use only household materials to show how anyone can do this if they wanted to. The purpose of this project is not for it to look professional or complete, but rather to be educationa

For my third project handling the relationship between analog and digital artwork, I decided to focus on how we distance ourselves from reality with each copy we make of something. I began with this photograph I took of slot canyons in Utah a few years back. This photograph is a representation of w

These LUDD stickers are an example of a anti-digital aesthetic: rather than have the digital world disrupt the analog world, these analog stickers are meant to disrupt the digital world. By hindering interaction with the hardware, the digital world is basically useless to us (at least until you pe

DA2 Project 2 For this project I decided to explore the idea of the objects reflecting a history of their interactions with their surroundings. In doing this, I constructed an allegory of a struggling artist on a tight deadline. Each object in his studio would radiate a certain memory described

Prject two was a bit rough on me to say the least. With the two almost entirely new software to learn on top of a string of technical issues, I was put to the test to produce a piece of artwork. But, the show must go on! And so for my second project, I projection mapped trippy and awe-inspiring v

For my projection mapping project, I found two old paintings from goodwill that depicted a coastal scene in Italy or somewhere similar. You can see the paintings below: I wanted to project onto the paintings and "bring them to life" using projection mapping. Specifically, I wanted to use music and

For this project, originally, I planned on creating a feminist piece, but the execution fell short when the projections did not show up well enough to be viewable, so I scrapped that idea and started over. The second (or third) time around, I decided to stop putting so much focus/ emphasis on what I

In my final project, Trilogy of Machine Reflections, I displayed three different animated portraits aspects of myself. The materials used was electronics (two laptops and a small TV) and computer animation (various programs) made from both existing and original material. I utilized the human head sh

For this final project, I experimented with a laser cutter, stencils and spray paint. Throughout the semester I have been developing concepts of femininity and the female experience. Women are constantly pressured to adhere to society's expectations and demands, that are often singular and unachieva

For my final project that was featured in our Cabal Gallery Show, I decided to do projection mapping on Polaroid Film. My theme was to take aspects of the original Polaroid images that were in motion when I took the picture, and bring them back to life with a projection! Here is a list of the parts

For this project I wanted to deal with digital and analog photo processing ways in various ways. My whole life I have been deeply interested in documenting the places I live in through film photography. I made this zine using the film photography I have taken from the current neighborhood I live

For this project I narrowed down my theme, or concept to the manipulation, or distortion of ourselves in a digital space. The pressure to appear perfection through media is salient, and the augmentation of physical appearance or an "analog" experience and changing it through digital means. I used so

For this project I decided to make a small web comic that utilized the 4 lies and a truth in the story and theme of the work. I wasn’t sure how to tackle this project at first so I began roughing up some sketches that held 2 different ideas embedded in positive and negative space. This, however, l

For this project I actually stuck with my original idea, of history repeating itself. I enjoyed how the piece itself came out and I am excited to try and build this idea further and perfect it. The performance itself could have been better, I originally wanted it to be hanging and me sitting at a ta

For this piece, I think my biggest failure was the lack of documentation of my set up which came from the fact that I kind of felt pretty rushed when I took down my piece and the whole class was waiting on the next location to go, as well as my lack of explaining my intentions of the piece. My th

Projection Project My project is a live digital painting that randomly changes over time using four separate Processing programs. Three randomly generate shapes using parameters that I pre-defined and the fourth allows the user to draw on top of it. However, the painting is constantly changing an

For this assignment, I chose to illustrate some personal lies in the form of comics. The lies I tell myself are actually somewhat serious things that I’m struggling with, but by illustrating them as comics it makes them a little bit lighter and easier to face. I mostly looked to Ida Eva Neverdahl f
