day 4 7in7

The Social Soundtracj Day 4 is a sound installation. Once again I am keeping with the same constraints. This piece should be looked at as an experimentation into a collective social soundtrack, to the African American demographic.

7×7 3: How to Paint Using a Push Cart

Project 3: Creating My Own Painting Tool This is the third object I built in continuation with my unnecessary artifice theme.

7 in 7: Day 4: bliss

I did the time constraint again with this piece, I gave myself 2 hours to complete it. I continued with the them of “purity”, this time exploring more of what it means to be innocent. This video would be displayed on a small monitor placed on a pedestal. Possibly having it be very delicate to …

7 in 7 : 4 Drink together

http://vimeo.com/29166890   It is a project using straw to drink from different cup and to know what is the flavor. The straw can keep add up to drink from 3 or 4 cups. The most interesting part is you might not know what you are drinking at the time.

Day 4: 7-in-7

HandMap My constraints again were unconventional mapping and using one line as the basis for my projects. I decided on my commute today to map my hand (basically everything I touched on my commute). The size of the objects corresponds to the frequency in which I touched the object. For instance, my phone was in …

7 in 7 Project#4: Computer Keyboard As A Piano

Inspiration: Garageband, it has a keyboard configuration that matches about twelve keys on a piano.  I thought why not a few more.

7 in 7: 2 Untitle

Day2 is supposed to be something 3 dimension. BUT, this is a totally fiasco in day two. I can’t do the sculpture from a cupcake. So it turns out to be a cute animal. I was thinking if giving candy on the dog’s head, it will keep nodding.
