"It Could Have Been Me": The 1983 Death Of A Nyc Graffiti Artist, Erik Nielson
"It Could Have Been Me": The 1983 Death Of A Nyc Graffiti Artist, Erik Nielson
School of Professional and Continuing Studies Faculty Publications
"It could have been me. It could have been me."
These were the words uttered by painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was deeply shaken after he heard the story of a black graffiti artist who was beaten to death by New York City police. Seeing his own life reflected in the death of a fellow artist, Basquiat went on to create Defacement (The Death of Michael Stewart), not only to commemorate the young man's death, but also to challenge the state-sanctioned brutality that men of color could face for pursuing their art in public spaces.

Dan S. Wang Interview, Katy Canzone
Asian American Art Oral History Project
Artist Bio:
Dan S. Wang is a writer, artist, organizer, and printer who was born in the American Midwest in 1968 to immigrant parents. Dan’s constant concerns are the relationships between art + politics, critical reflection + social action, place + history. His research includes inquiries into the postindustrial cultural politics of the Midwest, letterpress printing as an archaeology of obsolescence, race and difference in the theater of crisis capitalism, and the cultural landscape of postsocialist China.
As a print media artist he primarily uses letterpress printing and hand set typography but avails himself of other media as words and …

Reimagining The Silver Screen: Contemporary Film Stills, Kyle Demartino
Reimagining The Silver Screen: Contemporary Film Stills, Kyle Demartino
Senior Honors Projects
During the late 19th century longer rolls of celluloid photographic film, and motion picture cameras were first introduced, which allowed for the capture of rapid sequences of still images at a relatively high speeds. The first films shown to audiences on a larger screen, although rudimentary, caused people to gasp or run from the cinema, as they believed the images on screen were real. As technology increased feature films progressed from only showing a simple static event to creating full stories spanning over various sets and containing multiple characters. With the advent of sound, filmmakers were given another tool …
User Experience Design For Presence-Aware Spaces And Technologies, Samuel Foster
User Experience Design For Presence-Aware Spaces And Technologies, Samuel Foster
Honors College
User experience design is a diverse field of study that is constantly changing as unique technologies and modes of interaction are developed. Metaphors are a critical aspect of UX design, serving to acclimate users to new technologies by comparing them to existing objects and ideas. As newer technologies become increasingly distant from real-world objects, developers are quick to look to existing technology for metaphors. This results in a lack of experience-unique metaphors that would create a more immersive experience. This thesis focused on identifying potential real-world metaphors through the use of emerging technologies in an interactive art installation. Based on …
Visual Metaphor In Games Of Chance: What You See Is What You Play, Stephen Andrade
Visual Metaphor In Games Of Chance: What You See Is What You Play, Stephen Andrade
Computer Graphics Department Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Visual images have been a key element in the development of wager-based games. The legacy of visual metaphor in gaming can be traced through paper ephemera such as playing cards and lottery tickets. Both paper and printing technology ushered the age of wide spread playing opportunities in the 19th and 20th centuries. Modern play behaviors have given way to Postmodern gaming norms in digital space. The digital age has presented a new set of challenges for gaming architecture in wager-based play. Action research in prototyping games is beginning to reveal a new and different set of game characteristics.
Detritus In Situ, Ariel R. Lavery
Detritus In Situ, Ariel R. Lavery
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
This thesis paper explores some of the cultural phenomena that influence my conceptual framework and describes the logic behind the formal decision-making that defines my work. Beginning with a description of the nature of the materials and environments I appropriate, this thesis aims to deconstruct the layered system of binaries that build the logic behind my work. The concerns in my work circulate around domestic consumption and the objects detritus, a term coined in the paper, that are produced as a result. However, rather than allow the objects detritus to remain cast-aways of a culture of excess, my work …
Forget The FlâNeur, Conor Mcgarrigle
Forget The FlâNeur, Conor Mcgarrigle
Articles
This paper discusses the connections between the ‘flâneur’, Baudelaire's symbol of modernity, the anonymous man on the streets of nineteenth century Paris, and his contemporary digital incarnation, the ‘cyberflâneur’. It is argued that, although the flâ- neur could be successfully re-imagined as the cyberflâneur in the early days of the web, this nine- teenth century model of male privilege no longer fits the purpose. It is suggested that it is time to forget the flâneur and search for a new model to consider the peripatetic nature of location-aware networked devices in the digitally augmented city.
Storytelling In Comics: Who, When, And Where In “Here”, Michael W. Hancock
Storytelling In Comics: Who, When, And Where In “Here”, Michael W. Hancock
Comics and Graphic Novels
Richard McGuire’s groundbreaking short comic “Here” (1989) revolutionized storytelling possibilities in comics. It may be used within a short story unit to demonstrate familiar elements of fiction, including setting, plot, and character. Moreover, its inventive use of panels within panels to juxtapose past, present, and future can serve as a model for students’ visual rendering of multiple points in time within a single location.
Psychologically Effective Art, Kris Shuford
Psychologically Effective Art, Kris Shuford
Summer Research
My summer research is an immersive art installation which attempts to make viewers more aware of how they are affected emotionally by visual stimuli. It consists of three rooms, each of which is designed to have its own "emotional climate" or mood. By juxtaposing an anxiety inducing room with a peaceful environment, with an energizing space, the viewer is made more aware of how their emotions are impacted by artistic elements such as color, line, shape, pattern, and texture.
Augmented Resistance: The Possibilities For Ar And Data Driven Art, Conor Mcgarrigle
Augmented Resistance: The Possibilities For Ar And Data Driven Art, Conor Mcgarrigle
Articles
This article discusses the possibilities for Augmented Reality (AR) as a driver of data based art. The combination of AR and Open Data (in the broadest post-Wikileaks sense) is seen to provide a powerful tool-set for the artist/activist to augment specific sites with a critical, context-specific data layer. Such situated interventions offer powerful new methods for the political activation of sites which enhance and strengthen traditional non- virtual approaches and should be thought of as complementary to, rather than replacing, physical intervention.
I offer as a case study this author’s “NAMAland” project, a mobile artwork which uses Open Data and …
