  • Methods of Contextualising

    WEEK 2 Based on what we developed last week, we decided to design three sets of stamps according to our different positions.  The resources are directly from the archive we have created. Each of us has explored the visualization of this project with different methods: cataloguing, translating, and collaging.  We decided to translate our posters…

    WEEK 3 After looking at the photocopier from the microscopic lens, I begin to pay attention to the subsystems within the tool individually – a scanner glass as a frame, a line light as a time and the interaction with paper as a way to produce effects. The recombination of these things provides new possibilities…

    WEEK 1-2 The tool I chose to explore and work with is a photocopier because although it performs the simple role of making copies of documents or images, the machine itself can be used in various ways and produce a different outcome depending on the factor that affects when using the machine. This week the…

  • Cities in Style

City in Style is an experimental…
