Stupid Computer Bullshit: Oh Shit, Progress!

Some pictures of forward motion. more on the Flickr page, if you're inclined.

I learned how to weld when I took Metal Sculpture a couple years ago, and have been wanting to get back into it ever since. Turns out it takes a lot of equipment that isn't practical to own and keep in your average student apartment. Anyway, I'm back in the Metalshop, remembering how it goes, I'm picking it back up pretty quickly.

I've disassembled one iMac thus far, which is enough for right now, I'm making drawings for the frame I'll build for each of them and checking out welding supply stores for material. All 7 iMacs have now got OS 9.2.2 installed, which took a lot longer than I thought it would, with firmware updates and all. In other news, aluminum insulation tape is a good (enough) conductor of electricity to be the contact points for the floor sensors I'll be building next. Don't know what I'm talking about? You will, next update.

Artist's Statement.

Technology mediates our every interaction with the modern world. Each piece of technology that we encounter has a unique interface, a specific set of interactions. Even the most commonplace of interactions, the sort which are taken for granted, involve very specific and unique actions that must be learned and performed. I seek to create interfaces which require participants to learn and perform new and unusual actions. These experiences are designed first to be simple and joyful, but to also call into question the way in which we interact with technology and how these interactions effect our view of the world.
