Understanding Comics - Impossible Conversations

For this project I used a story about my little brothers having a conversation when they were babies but put it with a background that is real and more adult. I used the same background throughout but changed the movements of the characters and what they said. The cover the comic is below: 

Selfies, An Exploration of

This was a fake documentary that dealt with the serious disorder called Selfitis (which is fake). It just simple documents a fake story that Na Kyung and I made up. The story board is on her blog.

Sound

This project was a chance to explore all the ways to make a story through the use of sound and sound only. Being able to use premier to edit the sounds together helped make the story what it was. I chose to makes the sounds of my morning ritual of waking up, going to the bathroom, showering, getting dressed etc. and then leaving for school. 

Sequential Time

The first idea I had for this come from the idea of a moon crater and watching as the light went around from day to night and back to day. From the spawned the idea of cell splitting when I editing all my photos together. The result was the repeated sequence of a cell splitting over and over. I like to think of it as an exhibition towards my distaste for this science and what it has caused and is still causing in our medical and agricultural fields.

Long Time VS. Short Time

For this project I chose to look at time as a fossil (long) and technology as a time (short time) specifically Moore's Law on transistors. I wanted to bring the two times together by combining them, not just intertwining them, I wanted them to be one, unable to be separated.

I chose to make a plaster model of a fossilized computer chip. For this project, I had to think a little bit into the future, after all, in a million years, who knows what will be of us. Someone might be picking up fossilized computer chips.

Technology moves so fast and fossils take time, showing that one could have an effect on the other through ones process of moving to fast and being forgotten about and the others through preserved that which has been dead or forgotten stirred some interesting ideas in my mind and that's why I put them together.

Time Mapping

My time map dealt with being awake and asleep and the cycle of action vs. non action. I photographed Angie blinking to show how fast it would take her to do from being sleeping and inactive to awake and active and back to sleeping and inactive. This was to show the cycle of a human through the span of the day. I chose to make all the photos black and white and juxtapose them together at an angle. I did this so that when you could see them on a wall and from different angles you would always see Angies cycle of sleeping to awake and back.
