(some of) Anna's response:
The constant stream of pictures and text uploaded that are available to the public has always seemed like a poignant demonstration of the lives we live as distinctly social creatures who seek contact and permanence in a realm of the intangible and superficial. I started this project with the collages based on Google image search, and feeling of awe for the sheer magnitude of images in existence.

I then began to focus on the more social aspect of this phenomenon: the vlog. This method of contact both intrigued and bored me. To watch people chronicle their existence on the internet through their webcam feels like an extremely voyeuristic act. As vloggers expose their personal thoughts, feelings, and lives, they also expose their own faces and bodies to the viewer. The vlogger invites the viewer into their home, addresses them directly in a human and conversational way, makes casual eye contact, and requests recognition and response to their performance.

Why do I click on links to videos, only to fast-forward through the slow parts and leave without engaging in any sort of dialogue? Keep Reading --Really; go to her stunning project site!


Listen right here to the TIME MAPPING CHOIR by Josh

Josh writes: "This project came to me through various ways over the course of a few months span of time, it only took a few interesting concepts to be woven together into one succinct medium for things to really seem right. I had found this wonderful old gospel recording of this woman in the fall while I was on tour and instantly knew I needed to do something with it, at that time I wasn't quite sure if I would sample it or cover the song in its entirety. After that one of my good friend's Grandmother passed away, watching her go through that was very intense. I soon realized I had the exact same relationship with my Grandmother that she did, she was like my mother. This sudden realization of death and urgency to preserve more of my Grandmother was something that beat at the heart of this project. I wanted to make a choir for a long time and record it, so I came up with the idea of using the repeated line from the gospel song I found as the lyrics for this new choir I was going to assemble. I thought the only way I could get my Grandma to sing on a song of mine would be if there were a lot of other people singing with her just for the fact that she had made it known she will only ever sing in church as she believes she is not the best of singers. So the goal then became clear, I needed to set out in search of the friends and loved ones in my life that could sing and collect their voices for the choir. It was a beautiful process to see come into fruition as I was so lucky to be able to hear all these voices of the people I love all put together overlapping in one space for me to play back over and over. It was like recording little special parts of their soul and keeping them for myself. Every time I would go and record someone, a lot of memories would flood in as to how I knew them and how we met. The recording aspects were a bit difficult as I didn't do the proper way of recording everyone in one room all at once, I was going around to their houses and recording them. This proved to be an issue I had to work on in post-production dealing with acoustics and the timbre of the room sounds. I plan on continuing to recruit more voices into the choir, this song will be going on the new record I am writing now and I plan on giving this particular track a lot of love and time to assess over the next year. I have an idea for a gallery exhibition of this project when it is perhaps finished, I think it might be nice to separate the voices and have them playing from different parts of the room of the gallery. Then the gallery would be decorated with some drawings and photos of my Grandmother. This was definitely a really fulfilling process and I can't wait for the finished product, but it also has this underlying notion that we all are never done building our choirs of loved ones, we are always introducing new people into our lives."


Three views of Chelsea's hand-sewn film strip screens interacting with light in Design Lab 1. Chelsea also worked with film strips already marked with time capture to which she added additional markings and coloration by hand, then weaving these strips into a film strip or celluloid window that could still interact with light. The hand-augmented and altered film was also scanned to make prints.

Jamie provides an elegant video unfolding of a map of her semester's journey that weaves many natural elements —the weaving of moment into moment, of event into event is itself a natural process that she takes the time to docment:



J Boychuk, whose work investigates dimensionality in a range of materials, found a brilliant way to map the dimensionality that occurs at intersections of space and time with his Video Map of Quantum Dimensionality: evolution of a human time keeper. Here Boychuk paints the moment, captures with paint the tracks the moment of breaking through a paper dimensional boundary leaves on the paper at the location of rupture or boundary breach; this is also a forked configuration of time travel:




Outcomes of Boychuk's exploration of mapping the 4th dimension may be experienced in the following slideshow (click the small arrow to play the slideshow) of three-dimensional imprints, or moment trails, of time passing, with Boychuk as the materiality of time's vehicle. These are fossils of the 4th dimension:





A Kiss mapped interactions with a book whose transparent pages captures boundary moments, the space between moment and moment; an attempt to access that which binds moments into a collection called time.

Peter maps a perception of some of what happens in mind engaged in perception, a map of thought process roads, routes of idea; a map of mind imagining, perhaps imagining how to expose mechanisms of usually unseen activity (a map-patch that resembles a bandage on the forehead —I like the idea of thinking as a bandage, as a healing, recuperative process):
