4/7: emotion—”Easily relaxed,like a cork”

The 4th project, the emotion and feeling to describe is ‘’the easily relaxed, like a cork‘’, just like in a beautiful village, sitting outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine and some awesome Chinese tea. I give myself this constrain: make a music to describe this emotion and feeling, and the time spend on making it …

I recently bought a bunch of cheap wool cardigans in preparation for cold, but they were all really plain and in boring colours (i.e. dark brown, navy, black…. why do so many people wear black in winter?!?!?!) Anyway the lack of bright (over)saturated colours …

DAY 7 7in7

7 in 7 Project #7: The Hush Box

Goal: The new space on 16th street, 12th floor is quite noisy during lecture hours, due to the fact that the old school ad agency concept for the space back fired… The Hush Box would control the amount of noise so no instructor should have to keep going outside and hushing everyone every 30 minutes.  …

7×7 5: Kitchen Mixing Utensil

Project 5: How To Mix Your Ravioli This project proved to be very difficult, and in my opinion, failed. This needless object was supposed to rotate around the circumference of the pot. The spoon in the middle was meant to mix the pasta in the boiling water. First mistake was attaching the spoon to the …
