It is funny to think of what my group and I ended up designing after looking back to the original premise of the class. There were so many different avenues then, and even with a much more concentrated idea, the avenues keep on rising. We definitely followed through with our original goals of creating a powerful, fun, exciting new...
Our world is a visually centered place, most of our navigation, decision making and interaction is based off of visual cues. In out project we wanted to shift focus onto another eaqually usefull but often overlooked sense, the sense of hearing. To strip away any ability to use the other senses we created a video game with no visuals that players...
This project that Eric and I put together was created in Hammer - the Half Life 2 level editor used to create game mods. We chose to use this program because it provided a means for us to easily create three dimensional audio landscapes. This was essential for our project since it is entirely based on navigating with absolutely no visual feedback....

In keeping with the experimental nature of this course, and with what I consider to be the main thrust of the prompt for this paper, I would like to submit this poem that I wrote midway through the quarter as my final assignment.
I’ll include the other thoughts I have written over the past week...
Not going to lie, I'm writing this paper while listening to other groups present. We just finished presenting our processes, to mixed reactions.
When Rebeca says that our presentation failed, she is right, because we were unable to convey the humor and the (potentially very political) critique that drives the purpose of this project. However I...
THE LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT: RETROSPECTION
THE PROJECT / RESEARCH
The Lighthouse Theory is a temporary name for this Voyager update project. In a nutshell we want to mark our territory. This post is sort of the social connotations and implications of this effort. Before I get into the specifics of the social contextualization, I want to first...
A Beacon of Wonder
The Lighthouse Project: the Astronomical Wonder of the World. This was the subject of the project that my group finally arrived at after ten weeks of contemplation, research, and development. Throughout this period we underwent a series of steps by working...
i think we need to be really careful when it comes to this whole pursuit of perfection.
a lot has been said for the negatives of human nature, we are irrational, often violent and hurtful, and essentially slow paced and fragile creatures.
but is this necessarily a bad thing?
i am strongly inclined to believe that the positives of human...
An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton from Another Wellesley College Alumna
Dear Hillary,
By polling logic, I should be your supporter - Democrat, older woman, white, liberal. I was even in a dorm with you in college. I have pulled for you for years. But something this past summer fundamentally changed my responsibility to my children and...
I just watched all 6 of the movies on the space collective homepage and while most of it was inspiring, I found some of it kind of scary. One of the clips even has a picture from an incident that happened 2 days ago, that was fast. It makes me think that the people who created those videos are leaning on the pessimistic side which inherently does...
I did a presentation on Genetic Algorithms for programming media I several weeks ago in the pecha...

It is possible that writing has an intrinsic relationship with lines of flight. To write is to trace lines of flight which are not imaginary, and which one is indeed forced to follow, because in reality writing involves us there, draws us in there. To write is to become, but has nothing to do with becoming a writer. That is to become something...
