Fine thread text, ‘WHY’ with embroidered Morse Code ‘AM I HERE’. Placed with other fish from my group:

Daniela split us into groups and assigned us CSM MAGCD ‘user personas’. I worked with Flora to define moments for fictitious student, Bek, during the final stages of their MA journey. Coming up with ‘How might we…’ questions to improve the user journey: Refining the questions to two we wanted to take forwards: Focusing on…

Warm-up activity: arranging ‘what’s in your bag’ and describing the decisions made. I arranged things intuitively with alignments of objects based on size. Joumana provided a selection of data research topics to delve into and statistics to glean and visualise. Gayatri and I worked together to draft a data visualisation of fashion micro-trends (mostly spurred…

An exploration of encryption: looking at the embedding of information in coded systems. How could one graphically explore and communicate data which is encoded? The computer was born, in a sense, to spy. This enquiry is one of investigation into the way symbols, letters, diagrams, alphabets, have been used and can be used to hide,…

Branching off from where my Unit 2 project ended, exploring Ogham, I broadened my scope to look at other forms of codes, ciphers, and languages. I explored other examples of multilingual inscriptions at the British Museum, other than the Ogham standing stones, such as the Rosetta stone. Looking at different ways to encode in ciphers…

The small magazine, Pleasant Place, is about the art of gardening, and its sixth issue is about topiary. As with my own work, its subject matter is an area of intersection between mankind and nature, but its allure about the sculpting of existing plants, rather than an emulation of their existing structures. I am looking…

Looking at Relationship as a commons for which Social Media can be a vector. Using graphic communication design to diagram this with an interactive game. Profiles can be added to one’s relational collection systematically – the collection is scalable like a vector. Interactions represented by eyes (views), hearts (likes), speech bubbles (comments) can be quantified.…

Bibliography These drawings are analogous to my own Turtle ‘drawings’ in that they have some roots in the mathematical and linguistic, yet Auerbach’s drawings seem freer and more fluid. Perhaps this is due to the silky quality of ink and the liquidity of motion with which they are drawn. They capture pattern repetitions in a…

In most computer programming tutorials, the first thing someone learns to ‘print’ with a language is “Hello, World”. ‘Hello’ in Ogham, the ‘Celtic tree alphabet’ (harking back to Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, one could say, ‘One and Three [Trees]’), could be signalled in ways other than being engraved in rock, as Ogham might’ve…

For the warm-up activity of creating an abacus, I fashioned a base-3 abacus. Usually abaci are base-10, and computers are typically binary (base-2). A ternary (base-3) numerical system uses 0,1,2 to count. Looking at the ‘Calculating Empires’ graphic, in pairs we looked at areas of intrigue to create a PDF prototype. Alexa and I looked…
