Reflected Dispositions, Taylor Hedum
Reflected Dispositions, Taylor Hedum
MFA Thesis Exhibit Catalogs
My MFA Thesis Exhibition, Reflected Dispositions, features an installation of sculptural objects and light projections in an unconventionally dark gallery setting. Spotlights shine onto the reflective sculptures, and the light is cast onto the surrounding environment. Motors or water deform the sculptures to create dynamic motion in the projections, with the cyclical changes and tempo meant to evoke a state of reflection in the audience. The percepts magnify the nuances of the material; to reveal the previously unseen.
My interest to control light stems from experiments with materials and the unexpected reflections that they produce. Since then, I have learned …
Isolate To A Controllable Space, Simone Frances
Isolate To A Controllable Space, Simone Frances
MFA Thesis Exhibit Catalogs
Centered around the public arena of institutional architecture and its impact on the social being, in this recent work, entitled, Isolate to a Controllable Space, I focus on questions such as how do public environments work to sustain and reiterate meaning through our own sense of where we should be, or where we are permitted to be. I use photography to approach questions that ask how do systems and infrastructures obtain functionality through our participation; acknowledging that systems are conductors of the personal and participatory process of identification and categorization.
Recipe For Disaster, Zac Travis
Recipe For Disaster, Zac Travis
MFA Thesis Exhibit Catalogs
Today’s rapid advances in algorithmic processes are creating and generating predictions through common applications, including speech recognition, natural language (text) generation, search engine prediction, social media personalization, and product recommendations. These algorithmic processes rapidly sort through streams of computational calculations and personal digital footprints to predict, make decisions, translate, and attempt to mimic human cognitive function as closely as possible. This is known as machine learning.
The project Recipe for Disaster was developed by exploring automation in technology, specifically through the use of machine learning and recurrent neural networks. These algorithmic models feed on large amounts of data as a …
462, James Anthony Martin
462, James Anthony Martin
MFA Thesis Exhibit Catalogs
As far as significance of 462, it has two meanings in this context. First, it represents me. 462 was my motorcycle racing number. Secondly, it is the theoretical idea of the next stage of human evolution. Right now, humans are composed off 44 and 2 chromosomes. Adding 2 more would make us 46 and 2, also known as, "Christ Consciousness". it is obviously not science, but I like the idea of humans obtaining a higher consciousness.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Brian Willett

My work is inspired by the myraid of issues that come from daily life. Just like in life I want pictures to reflect the highs and lows and all the shit in between that defies fitting anywhere. Everthing has a place in my work.
