"American Toy," Christopher Baker
This week's main topic is information art, where artists and designers' take on data/information is more personal and subjective. Here are a few examples:
Christopher Baker works in a wide range of media. His projects I like to high light here are "American Toy," "Murmur," "Urban Echo," "My Map"
Maya Lin's Caspian Sea series
Etienne Cliquet's origami paper sculptures are based on internet statistics.
Emily Ginsburg's diagrammatic images for public art commissions
Nick Hardeman's attempts to fold "Mo Money, Mo Problems" music video in to a single image
Karey Kessler's map drawing is part of cartography, part of poetry
Josh Dorman make ink drawing and painting on antique map
Georgia Russell, manipulates, cuts and transforms books, music scores and maps. She
resurrects her chosen materials for a new life and gives them new poetic meaning. See "Britain on Iraq" and other projects.
Val Britton's immersive collage work using language of maps to navigate memory and
imagination, using recycled materials
Overnewsed but Uninformed is a collection of infographics by Stefan Bräutigam. this book is about explaining the way modern media communication works, explaining processes, ownerships, dependencies and recipient behaviour.
On Wednesday, we will take a look at a few interactive examples. Also students will discuss their project ideas.
