TOTALLY TEEN VOGUE!

What is Teen Vogue Magazine existed in the 1980s but utilized the technology we have available in the modern world?

For one possible direction it may have gone in, check out my parody Teen Vogue site!

SPEAKING OF CREATIVITY...

I recently got to work with a couple of great gals on this video project which is all about what makes/defines creativity!

Enjoy!

TELE- ______

With society's obsession with and mass access to technology and communicative devices, creatives around the world are finding innovative ways to utilize technology in order to present new ideas.

One of my favorite examples is Ken Goldberg's Telegarden, as seen in Art & Electronic Media.

This installation had two components: the first being a physical garden with a robotic arm which was placed in the Arts Electronica Center in Linz, Austria. The second component was a Telgarden website, where users could register and have the chance to care for plants remotely via the web.

The installation all sounds fun and whimsical until a person begins to consider questions regarding the web, it's power on society, and knowledge through mediated sources. 

So, does the garden even exist? How do we trust what we see online and that it's authentic?

The impact of this piece is bold and slightly disturbing, illustrating the strength of art merged with technology. 

With that, it is hard not to think about the many ways to impliment this type of art. Maybe...
...Tele-tourism

...Tele-hiking

...Tele-museums

On the other hand, some of these may surpass art and become a regular practice in the future.

DIGITALLY DIGGING FOR INSPIRATION

Every year around this time I begin to feel cooped up, eager for change, and ready for a mental vacation.

So, as expected, I am halfway through my last semester of University (weee!) and have hit an uninspired brick wall.

My cure? I began digging through some old Instagram photos from my past three years of summer adventure. The colors, the food, the people... nearly anything can inspire a great idea.

Here are my fovorites. Here's to hoping I get some great new projects going!
