A diverse collection of works created by students with wildly different styles in this spring's Comics class.

Description

This exhibition of works produced in Tracy White’s Comics class features pieces created by students using a wide range of artistic and storytelling techniques. Over seven weeks students explored different approaches to telling stories using pictures and words, and by the end each completed several short comics in their own unique styles that they had honed during the course. The collection gathered for the showcase contains everything from epic wars fought both on the battlefield and within the minds of soul-wracked characters, journeys into the underworld, as well as into the depths of the supermarket, and tales of betrayal, suspense, and children befriending monsters through the power of candy. Some of the works were drawn by hand using pen and paper while others were created with tablets and Photoshop. The students submitting works are from ITP, the Game Center, Steinhardt, and Stern and include Sharon De La Cruz, Devin Curry, Sharang Biswas, Marcelo Bravo, Elyssa Dole, Rena Anakwe, Alejandro Puentes, Clio Davis, Joelle Fleurantin, Allen Yu, and Caroline Sinders. Comics will be displayed as posters, some in black and white and others in color.

Description

What happens when you merge the two seemingly distinct fields of computer programming and graphic design? How can a deliberate, algorithmic automaton be used to convey a designer's frissons of creative genius? Featuring various examples of “Algorithmic Art”, this showcase of works created through computer code examines just such questions.

Created by students of Rune Madsen's “Printing Code” class.

Description

This project explores modern society's increasing urge to pay attention to one's smart phone rather than interact with live human beings. To control your urges to constantly check your phone, lock it in the case. The case's LCD screen displays inspirational quotes to help you feel better about being separated from your device, as well as a timer to keep track of your self-control. When you are ready to retrieve your phone from the case, you will need to ask another person a helping hand; the specially-arranged button array requires all buttons to be pushed at the same time to reopen the case.
