NOTE: I have a very strong opinion about this subject because I’m dealing with it in life right now. But, I don’t expect everyone else to view this problem as strongly as I do. I feel it is important voice this issues as strongly as I can. But you don’t have to agree. All I’m doing is sharing mine.<br />
- - -<br />
This is a brilliant project! It a strong statement and doesn’t sugar coat the issues. This issues is becoming dangerous for everyone, not just 20somethings young woman who have an opinion, but anyone who have a woman in their life. Take the recent report from Utah State University. A young woman, smart and strong, while doing her job is threat to be murdered and anyone else that’s near her will die too. Imagine your mother or daughter doing their job, which can be doing the dishes, and some man threatening to kill them for doing the dishes and anyone that dirtied a plate. That stupid, right?! Will that’s what’s happening. I hate this word but we can’t be sweet and nice about this anymore. We have to use the ‘shock factor’, we have to be blunt. We have to focus you to see that this issues is affecting your future and the lives of future woman, and sometime to make that happen we have to ask you to imagine your wife/mother/daughter as the victim.</div>

Parents might statement that this will corrupt these children and therefore theirs. Yet children are already corrupted, they watch tv/movies, they read, they have friends, their corrupted. At least corrupt them with positive messages and a bright future where anyone can be happy and successful no matter their gender.<br />
- - -<br />
Children don’t need to be shocked, but their parents do. Adult (parents) have to do something to stop the abuse of woman, gays, minorities. Just because they don’t watch TV doesn’t mean their not being focus feed gender roles. </div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"After the jump you will find code for Google Glass disrupting software glasshole.sh. Kick google glass off any wifi network in the vicinity. apparently an even more aggressive version is in the works."</span></blockquote>

Not cool in my book, so I felt like replying since over the last year I've been working in and research about the rise of wearable technology and it's future.<br /><br />This is what I wrote in responses to the above quote;<br /><br />I'm only been in this field of "wearable tech" for a year, and am by not means an expert, yet. But what I do know is that wearables are HOT and developers and companies are trying hard to get the next cool wearable out there as fast as they can. This effects thinking about the finer details of what is public and private. Jamming a network is not the answer. Who says that someone on a crowded subway, where everyone has their cellphones/ipads out, isn't taking your photo or video you without you knowing? Are you going to jam/block there cells too? What should be happening, and in some case is happening, is that we start developing more responsibly. That's where we come in, creative technologist, we take sdks and instead of jamming/block system we create an app that when it recognizes face it ask if it can take your picture, and you say "Yes, Glass take my picture."</span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In Her, a Silicon Valley type Los Angeles is engulfed in a soft orange smog that floats around the tops of all the constant growing skyscrapers. In this worlds the clean saturated colors, the identical male trousers, shirts, sweaters, the very modest Donna Reed styles female clothing configurations this place and the people living here. There is a noticeable lack of people in public spaces. This worlds relationship with technology is totally deficiency with their human relationships. It is just accepted to talk to yourself and have a relationship with you OS. The user validate this relationships by the algorithm of emotion the OS provides at first without any consequences, as opposed to a relationship with a human. You see the user go through the ups and downs of human interaction and the drama it causes, and it’s countered by the generated responses of the OS. That is, until the user becomes outdated and users have to resort back to human connections in order to continue their life.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found this film to be a clever, pretension, entertaining, funny conversation of how to use technology responsibly. The quick social acceptance of OS relationships, the classicism of only the well-off can afford the life that a OS can provide, and the excessive value of someone that can express human emotion. In some ways, I feel this film had the same message as the 1968 Stanley Kubrick film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” In Kubrick’s film it was all about the relationship between humans and mysterious black, outer space, in “Her” it was the developing bond between humans and a device/system.</span></div>

There's much more this fancy wire can do, but for now I'll show you how I used it.<br />
<br />
Here's the link to my final project for <a href="http://ft.parsons.edu/science/?p=844" target="_blank">Fashionable Technology</a>. You can see how I used it to simulate life/something growing in my final piece. It didn't come out as awesome as I wanted it to but it works for now.<br />

You will need a piece of wood or heavy paper, nothing conductive. You will need to solder down the transistor to the copper tape... I recommend soldering all the components down to the copper tape, but test the circuit before doing so. Sometimes things don't work right because somethings has burnt up or the copper tape isn't touch right.<br />

The white and yellow clamps are hooked up to nitinol wire, the red and black the battery and the other white and green are connected to an Arduino Uno. The Arduino part is simple. Buy a starter kit for an <a href="http://www.adafruit.com/products/1078" target="_blank">Arduino </a> then download the open source <a href="http://www.arduino.cc/" target="_blank">Arduino software</a>. Once installed open a new project and then go to example and open up the Blink sketch. This is the one you'll use to get started. Plug in a LED to the ground (GRD)/13 pin, a green wire to the 8 pin and another white to ground (GRD). Clamp the other white wire to GRD and the green clamp to the pin. {{ I hope that's not to confusing? }} Check the sketch for an mistakes (sometime you have to change the USB port) then load the sketch to the Arduino. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

What should happen is that the LED will blink and the nitinol wire will become straight and active. When the LED is not lite the wire returns to it original state. <div>

You can buy your own spool of wire <a href="http://www.dynalloy.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
You can change the rate of the blinking LED by increasing or decreasing the HIGH/LOW delay in the void loop.<br />
<br />

I've done nothing but be craft today (2-3-13). I should have been doing homework but my new laptop has been a major distractions. Yes! I have a new laptop! Hurray! My new one is 13" but since my old laptop was a 15" I needed a new sleeve. Semi problem. This year I'm doing this new thing of taking something old and making something new. This is what I did to solve that problem of the laptop sleeve.</div>

This semester for my final assignment I examine the social application and the sustainability effects of my project CommonWaste, a social recycling network. For CommonWaste’s I looked into social environment expectations, technical function and operation, and other applications for the project. Because people don't see the effect of recycling quickly enough to understand its importance, showing them the effect through a virtual representation of the real world will create a new incentive.</div>

This project came from an idea that I presented in class at the beginning of the Fall 2012 semester. The assignment was to take something physical and mash it with something digital. I took the idea of recycling and transferring the effect to a social network. You affect the CommonWaste network through your actions in the real world </div>

The general idea for the mash up assignment was to create a social environment where your recycling made an impact in a digital world that mirrored your own. Coming from rural New Mexico, the positive effects of recycling were seen almost on a daily base. In the coffee shop I worked at we used eco-friendly cups, plates, etc., and most, if not all, of our customers recycled the cups or used them again later or the next day. Being here in New York, I see recycling signs and bins everywhere, but I don’t see the effect so much. I still see trash everywhere. I wanted to try and use the tenants in our apartment building as a part of a social experiment—since I presented this assignment to my class I have changed the location of the project to D12 (Parsons), the graduate student lab —to see if they would be more excited about recycling their trash than getting a tweet. Or, if they saw how much their recycling effected a social environment, would it make them more interested in their own? This is still a vague concept, and my thoughts are all over the place, but the bottom line would be to create a recycle bin, then showcasing (in a digital format or social network) how the person recycling affects their digital world (and by extension, how it could affect the real world). Installing the bin in the physical environment would help keep community accountable and in return keep D12 clean. </div>

To create CommonWaste I hatched out several options and methods. I researched local and national waste management programs that dealt with the community and utilize social media, and added them to support my project’s concept. The following are the steps I took: </div>
<div class="p1">
- Visualizing the virtual environment (Figure 6.);</div>
<div class="p1">
- Surveying the importance of recycling and whether or not adding a social element would make a difference;</div>
<div class="p2">
- Prototyping a functional sensor switch (Figure 7.) that would demonstrate how the action of recycling would affect the virtual world. </div>

CommonWaste became more of a project in development. It seems that there is a need for a new type of recycling method and this might be the birth of one. For the future continuation of this project, I would like to create different bins to add to the system where the items you recycle have a related effect. For example, recycling paper and cardboard would affect trees and plants. Recycling glass would develop solar panels on the virtual windows. And compost and recycled electronic parts would have an effected place in the digital world. The social world would be shared as you are more active with others and the more your environment changes. A type of trophy system would be developed to show your growth as a real life recycler. In the end, my hope is simply that this project would have a positive effect on the environment.</div>

<b>The Next Step: <a href="http://www.interface2012.coin-operated.com/?p=1303" target="_blank">First Draft</a></b><br />
For my final project, I want to continue where I left off with my MashUp: Social Recycling. I am not sure how doable this might be. Given the little I know about anything, but I feel like I can make something happen with these ideas. The general ideas for the MashUp assignment was to create a social environment where your recycling made an impact in a digital world that mirrored your own. Coming from New Mexico where the positive effect of recycling are seen almost on a daily base. In the coffee shop I worked at we used Eco friendly cups, plates, etc and most of it, if not all our customer recycled the cups or used them the next day. Being here in New York, I see recycling sign and bins everywhere but I don’t see the effect so much. I still see trash everywhere. I want to try and use the tenant in our apartment building as a part of a social experiment -- <i><b>Since I presented this assignment to my Major Studio class I have changed the location of the project to D12 (Parsons) </b></i>-- Would they be more excited about recycling their trash then getting a tweet? Or if they saw how much their recycling effected a social environment would it make then more interested in there own? This is still a vague concept and my thoughts are all over the place, but the bottom line would be to create a recycle bin in the same vain as <a href="http://www.thefuntheory.com/">TheFunTheory.com</a> created their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSiHjMU-MUo">Bottle Bank Arcade</a>. Then showcasing in a digital format, social network, how the person recycling effect their digital world and then how it could effect the real world… I’m still working on this.</div>

<b>The Next Next Step: <a href="http://www.interface2012.coin-operated.com/?p=1410" target="_blank">Precedents</a></b><br />
<br />
Precedents #1: Bottle Bank Arcade<br />
<br />
1. What is the project and who created it? - by TheFunTheory.com. The project is a glass bottle recycling game. <br />
<br />
2. How does it work / function? Is it interactive? If so how? - The interface is simple to understand, like a pinball machine or ball toss game. You accumulate point when you place a bottle into a slot when the light blinks. <br />
<br />
3. What aspects of the project are similar to your project or influence your project? – The visual design? The interaction? The industrial design? The location? The Audience? - It’s fun and creative way to to recycle. My project relates to this one through the interaction of random people. The want to recycle is encouraged by the outcome of what you recycle. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
Precedents #2: Animal Crossing City Folk<br />
<br />
1. What is the project and who created it? - by Nintendo Wii. This game is set in a world that totally depends on you. You have to keep the world clean, you have to build, shop, work in the city in order for it to survive. Just like in my project the virtual world look depends on you.<br />
<br />
2. How does it work / function? Is it interactive? If so how? - The environment depends on you. You go out pick weeds, plant trees and kill bugs. All these action help keep your world nice and inviting. Because you want people to live in your city. The better the looking the city the more your city grows and the more you can do in your city. <br />
<br />
3. What aspects of the project are similar to your project or influence your project? – The visual design? The interaction? The industrial design? The location? The Audience? - You have to keep you city clean. The cleaner the city the prettier it looks and more awards you receive. In Animal Crossing you pick weeds to make your city beautiful. For my social world element of my project, the more you recycle the better your world looks.<br />

Precedents #3: Trash Tycoon<br />
<br />
1. What is the project and who created it? - by Guerillapps.<br />
<br />
2. How does it work / function? Is it interactive? If so how? - SIMS type of game and Animal Crossing this world depends on the way you level up. The higher the level the more you have done to make the world better. YOu are given task to do and depending how well you performed them the more levels/point you get. <br />
<br />
3. What aspects of the project are similar to your project or influence your project? – The visual design? The interaction? The industrial design? The location? The Audience? - You are a member in a virtual world where it is your responsibility to keep it clean. <br />

As the owner of the social world recycle the cleaner the world becomes. More flowers will grown, the bluer the sky becomes and the world starts developing a social environment, but when you stop recycling the world goes back to being trashed. Yet the more you recycle more changes and becomes cleaner in your world.<br />

<b>What I'm Working On Now:</b><br />
1. Coming up with a good <b>Title</b> for the project<br />
2. Building a <b>Recycle Bin </b>that I can install the sensor in such a way you will not be able to see it.<br />
3. Coding the <b>Sensor</b>. Right now I have a Arduino button working with Processing that will grow flowers in the in the social world. But it needs more work and I want to use the sensor instead of the button.<br />
4. <b>Redesign</b> the social recycling world. When I presented the first draft drawing of the environment the major critique I got was it wasn't realistic to the users real world. So I'm gone back to thinking about a new look for the social world.<br />

My OF project is really simple, it just an array of circles that you can miss with by moving you mouse. Very simple!<br />
<br />
Another OF project was to write my name, or in my case my husband's name using code and not font in OF.<br />

Get outside, get inspired and recreate a shape/object in Processing inspired by your time outside. This homework MUST use atleast one custom function, arrays and PImage and mouse interaction. Optionally use sin/cos and/or push and pop matrix. Share an image of what inspired you.<iframe frameborder="0" height="492" scrolling="no" src="http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/68702/embed/?width=412&height=412&border=true" width="440"></iframe><br />
<br />
Week02:<br />
Write your own class from scratch, give it some properties and functions. Make multiple objects of that class. Declare arguments in your class, and feed them values from the main code. Use Translate/push/pop matrix to make some interesting Interactions and tell a story. Advanced: Make an array of objects<iframe frameborder="0" height="680" scrolling="no" src="http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/70140/embed/?width=600&height=600&border=true" width="628"></iframe><br />
<br />
Week03:<br />
Create multiple objects using Arrays and have the objects interact with each other somehow - bounce, repulse etc. Add new objects upon mouse interaction. Make your objects interesting – not circles, rectangles squares. for eg. use PNGs.<iframe frameborder="0" height="580" scrolling="no" src="http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/71315/embed/?width=500&height=500&border=true" width="528"></iframe><br />
<br />
Week04:<br />
Use a library or multiple libraries to create an interesting audio-visual interaction with minimal or no use of mouse/keyboard. Using sin/cos and time will make your animations super interesting.<iframe frameborder="0" height="680" scrolling="no" src="http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/74489/embed/?width=600&height=600&border=true" width="628"></iframe><br />
<br />
Week05:<br />
Light two LEDs in your circuit. Incorporate Potentiometer or Push Button or another sensor for extra credit (extra fun!)<br />

<br />
Week06:<br />
Make a super fun interaction using sensors and objects<br />
- think how you could make a simple instrument or capture a gesture, or embody an emotion<br />
- make it meaningful<br />
Use stuff we’ve learned so far – classes, libraries, sin/cos, so many things to work with!<br />

I do a lot of web-surfing, in fact I like to think of myself as a Pro Web-Surfer. It's kinda my thing! And I love it when I come across something that gets me jazzed about something-or-another about what I'm currently doing, what I want to do or that others are doing.<br /><br />
I really dig it when come across, what I call "the rhyme and reason" of things. What I mean is, when I land on something, a video, blog, write-up about a subject that I'm just getting into. For example, code. I'm just now learning this new language. I had experience with other code languages but I wasn't fluent. I really didn't have a desire to be so. I just did the basic of code homework assignments, just what I understood. I never tried to push the boundaries of what code could do. I needed something to light the fire, a rhyme and/or reason. And what might you ask is that rhyme or reason? Why the best that there could be, a job. Yes I'm a little lame in that I'm letting the almighty job lead me. I'm going to need a job to pay for this education I'm getting and since this education is providing away to learn this "code" thing, I figure I might as well take advantage.<br />
<br />
So bring on the code. Then a good job. Then paying off all my debt. Then retire on a mountain over looking a beach that has a huge city about 30 minutes away by car. The mountain is for my husband who wants a cabin on top of a mountain and the beach and city are for me.Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06762332459925483265noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976783940664729526.post-36524507022191600312012-09-26T19:52:00.000-06:002012-09-26T19:52:29.090-06:00Pop+Push Matrix gets a classPop+Push Matrix and their friends Class.<br />

I can, somewhat, code for the web (HTML5), Flash (Action Script) and tiny bit of Xcode. My love for code goes about as far as, will here. I don't really get it. It wasn't important to what I want to do. I knew what I needed to know to finish the assignment and get a good grade. When will I even need code? That sentiment is the old me, the before Parsons -- 3 week long -- Bootcamp. I am a new coder. I am a brave, ready to face code, coder. During the bootcamp you are introduces to Processing aka Code. It's one of them thing you either love or hate, black and white. You either understand it or you don't. I'm not a love or hate kinda person, I'm more of a "I enjoy that" kinda gal. I don't see in black or white, things are mostly tie-dyed, neon, rainbow and some times 50 shades of gray. Hehe! But at first code and I weren't seeing eye to [i] -- [i] here is representing [i] line of code that tells Processing to draw an array function -- just for all out there who don't know. So my first week with code was rocky. I kinda understood what things where doing, how they worked together to create sketches and tried to understand why I might need code.<br /><br />Code language is not easy for me, it's my Achilles heel. Fun fact, most languages, compute or otherwise, are hard for me. Blast! I can barely speak English right sometimes. One thing I am is hard-headed and if there's something that's stomping me I find away around it. And I did with code. I asked questions. I asked everyone questions. I wanted to learn this. I went to workshops, I did my own research to see what others where doing with Processing, and how I wanted to use it. You see I'm a very very very visual learner. I learn by doing. I learn best when I know what the outcome will be. For example, in printmaking there's a method called etching. Etching is when you take a metal plate and a sharp point tool of some kind and scratch drawing into the plate then apply ink to the plate and paper and run it through a press. I know that doesn't sound exciting or hard but the technic as to how you get the drawing on the plate is exciting. There are many different methods as how you draw on the plate but one of them is using acid. You paint (special etching paint (I can't remember the name)) a coat on the plate. You then etch out your drawing. You dip the plate into the acid and the acid eats away the metal from just the part you drew. There's more process and I'm sure I'm not explaining it very well, but you get the point. For me it was hard to understand why I needed to go through some much process to get my drawing on the metal. I later figured out my frustration with etch was very simple, I didn't know what the out come was going to be. I didn't know how etching looked in the end. I had seen etching before but I didn't know how it was made. How long the metal stayed in the acid, what line where drawn first. I had to ask my teacher to break it down for me. I needed to know/see how it was down. Then I could go and do it, and I did. You can't tell me to do something and think it'll stick. But showing me something, doing something, and I won't forget. OK some times I will. I'm flighty! But I need to understand if I do this I can add this and together they make that. I have to see it. That's hard when it comes to processing sometimes.<br />
<br />
So all of that just goes to show you that it was hard for me to be taught all this crazy code and then asked to use it to make something interesting. My head couldn't really wrap around what code function did what and what function did something else. So I copied code I worked on in class and played with it to understand what it did and why. During camp my homework weren't really bind blowing but they completed the assignment and I learned. The down side of this method was that it was a slow method. I spent to much time working and playing with simple code I got to comfortable with the easy stuff. Oops!<br /><br />I do that. I get so comfy I don't adventure out. And I just realized that to. No more then a month into coding and I had not even adventured out into the code world to see what I could do. Lame! All my home for my Creative Computing Lab, or CCLab as we cool kids call it, has been lame. Not exciting at all. That's going to change. I want to be a good coder, maybe not the best but good. I can do that. I'm hard-headed enough to make that happen. In the end it's going to open so many groovy doors for me and what I can do. I just got to get over this comfy zone thing with code and make something epic.<br />

This sketch is my snow globe, sorta. I would like it to react to a few more functions, such as, after you get the snow going it falls to the bottom of the sketch. I'm not there yet but with some help from fellow classmate and bugging my teacher with my issues, I might figure it out.<br />
<br />
Yay Code... stuff!!!Veronicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06762332459925483265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976783940664729526.post-459696221285658782012-08-31T08:02:00.001-06:002012-08-31T08:02:38.069-06:00Week One... Done... One down, fifteen more to go and so far... awesome!!!<br />
<br />
In <i><a href="http://www.interface2012.coin-operated.com/">Major Studio 1</a> </i>our first weekend assignment is to redesign Facebook and mock-up a prototype. Our teacher is so cool. He's totally using social networks as our subject matter. Which is so super cool! That's one of my biggest interest. I want to study and learn more about these social networks. Yay!<br />
<br />
What's so great about this class is that we will be working on small projects that lead to a major project. They build on each other and in the end we're encourage to take our project to conferences, to exhibit it or publish it. I'm so excited for all the wicked things I'm about to learn.<br />
<br />
In <i>Design for this Century</i>, I'm not to sure yet. The first class was a little odd. D+T student were mixed up with other Parsons AMT students. That 's cool and all because we are all "design" students in one way or another. We just think of design different which is nice to have another angle to look at things. I'm excited to explore "design" with a group of people who see design another way.<br />
<br />
For <i>Dynamic Sound & Performance </i>I'm very excited about this and I'm sure the first class would have been epic if the teacher had showed up. The first night of classes myself and about 16 other students showed up and we waited for about an hour for the teacher. We called people, emailed the teacher, talked about taking turn and teaching the class ourselves. After a hour we gave up on the teacher and left. That really sucked! Because all the other elective class I want to take/or that fit into my schedule are full. I need this class and I need it to rock. After a few days I got an email saying they department was sorry for the lack of teacher and that that teacher will not be teaching after all. They have another guy that will step up and teach it. He taught it last semester and I'm told he was very cool. So it's looking like it'll work out. I'll keep you posted.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://unworn.nu/">Creative Computing Lab</a> </i>aka<i> CCLab</i>. I think I'm falling in love. Not to sure yet, haven't really started the coding thing yet, but I'm really happy with the teacher. The first thing out of her mouth was "you need to find your happy code place." You can't force a happy code upon yourself. You have to find the right code for you. Rather that's web, processing, ardiuno or open frameworks. You must be happy. I love that because code is not my second nature. I'm not sure if I'll ever really get it enough that I can just seat down at my computer and start coding and writing my own code. But I'm going to try, I'm going to learn.<br />
<br />
This is going to be an amazing semester!<br />
<br />

For one thing, I'm re-starting this blog, revamping it to more of documentary of my adventure in grad school. My new school highly encourages recording your process, and being aware of where you start with an idea and end with it. But also, getting ideas out. So I decided that this silly blog, I started so many years ago but never really used, would be my catalyst for my adventures into grad school.<br />
<br />
Just a little post of what my day was like or what I hope to do during the day. Also, I hope to us this fun blog to keep me focus and accountable. You may not know this about me but I get troubly side-tracked. It's like when a cat sees something shiny or a squirrel can't remember if he turned off the gas stove.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://0.gvt0.com/vi/1e_88G4TY_w/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e_88G4TY_w&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e_88G4TY_w&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<br />
With that being said here's a fun list of what I hope for my time in grad school.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I'm not sure what the world has in store for me or my family but I do know it will be great. I really loved working in and around museums. I've worked with them for about 6 years. During and after I finished college, and it would be awesome to continue on a pass with museums. So working with museums will be a goal, what's on the other side of the finish line, something to aim for.</li>
<li>I <i>heart</i> stop motion animation! And my advisor said I have skills that if fine tuned I'd be a good animator. She wanted me to take classes that will sharpen those skills.</li>
<li>I have a very healthy addiction to the "Distributed/Social Networks." I do believe I'm on every social network you can be on. I'm sure I'm missing one or two but for the most part if I'm on the web I'm on a social network. I want to know more about this "social network" I want to learn how it is used, why it seems so important, how I can use it.</li>
<li>I'm just so super excited to learn more and use it to make a positive impact in the world. </li>
<li>But most important, this is for me. This is important to me to accomplish. To see it though to the end and then go off and do something great with it. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Not only do these fun fact apply to just me, they also go toward my family. I'm sure most of you know my husband is pursuing his doctorate at Columbia. How freakin' cool is that!? So we have big PLANS, but we've learned that PLANS don't always happen how you've PLANNED them. So we're taking our time and enjoying the experiences we've had so far with this journey, one day at a time.</div>

</tbody></table>So I feel like sharing a quick thought about a movie I once saw. The movie is "Eat Pray Love" I understand the book was good and a very "woman take charge of her life" kind of story. Stories like that do need to be told but the movie is something else.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">Yeah. It wasn't really what I hoped it to be. The whole "I'm sad and need to experience life before I start showing some wrinkles" was lame. It was like she was saying all her life up until now was a waste. I totally don't agree with that train of thought. Also I thought it was lame that she just slept with anything with male parts. Then turned around and wanted to find enlightenment. You don't find that by living in fancy rich houses. "OMG I must stop working, live in luxury houses, eat the best organic food and have unsafe intercourse. And then I will be happy and know my place in the world." </div><div class="p1"><br />
</div><div class="p1">This is just my opinion of a movie and some viewer might have gotten more out of it than me. Great! I'm happy you enjoyed it but if I was in her shoes I wouldn't have wasted my time feeling sorry for myself. I might have found enlightenment sooner and through everything I saw/experienced/felt. </div><div class="p1"><br />
</div><div class="p1">I have already found enlightenment in my life and the only far-off-place I've ever been to was Canada.</div><div class="p1"><br />

</div><div class="p3" style="text-align: center;">Statement of Interest</div><div class="p4"><br />
</div><div class="p5">The summer of 2010 I visited my grandmother in Houston, Texas. Toward the end of that two week trip I had an opportunity to to rush over and visit the Museum of Fine Art Houston. I have always enjoyed exploring new museums or revisiting old ones whenever I travel. For me this new museum was filled with exhibits from 5th century burial masks to American contemporary art. With such artists as my hero Willem Van Aelst, his epic still lifes, and introducing me to contemporary artists like Jasper John, I roamed each wing of the museum and began to realize I was studying not just art work but the museum itself--how the exhibits where laid out, the flow of visitors, the design and color for each gallery--until I came across the Art of Asia exhibit. Weaving through the pillars that Hindu gods stood on, I wondered what their stories were when I came across a monitor. The touch screen, with built in Adobe Flash, was a simple interactive explaining the stories behind each of the Hindu gods. The interactive was bright, easy to navigate, and entertaining. It was perfect for all ages except that the touch screen was installed on the wall in a far off corner four feet from the floor--to high and out of the way for the younger museum visitors that this interactive was clearly designed for. That was the moment I realized I wanted to go to graduate school, so I can advance my education to be able to work in a cultural institution creating and installing technology that would help enrich the visitors experience. "I could design and install this interactive much better" was my mantra for the rest of my museum visit . </div><div class="p4"><br />
</div><div class="p5">When that summer ended I started my last year as a undergraduate at New Mexico Highlands University’s (NMHU) Media Arts Program, I have experienced an education both in and outside the classroom. My BFA in digital filmmaking, and my studio arts minor, have given me the foundation for creating professional and creative art. I have built upon my educational foundation with professional internships with SITE Santa Fe—a contemporary art space—the Department of Cultural Affairs of New Mexico, and the Marion Koshland Science Museums, Washington, DC, producing pieces ranging from oral history documentaries, to e-publishing children’s books, and virtual tours for the web.</div><div class="p6"><br />
</div><div class="p5">In my five years at NMHU I have worked with local museums on such projects like SITE Santa Fe’s seventh biennial exhibit, “Lucky #7”—one of my first videography projects—made me part of a documentary film team comprised of students from three universities around Santa Fe. The biennial was curated by Lance Fung and focused on collaboration. Together we created a web based-only archive of the eighteen international and local artist works. Capturing the beginning process, the construction of the art, and the final installation of work in the contemporary art space through my camera lens was a wonderful way to experience how exhibitions are created. </div><div class="p6"><br />
</div><div class="p5">In 2008, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Program for Interactive Culture Technology (PICT). Within the program I worked with the New Mexico History Museum to create a short video as well as interactive pieces for the “Fashioning New Mexico” exhibit. I took ownership of shooting and editing a video that documented the process the textile conservator took to prepare the clothing for the exhibition. This video has also been displayed at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM, and the Mesa Public Library in Las Alamos, NM. I saw this project through to the end, developing the style of the video, the photography, and music of the piece. I finished with installing the sound system and monitor in the exhibition space.</div><div class="p4"><br />
</div><div class="p5">This past summer I entered the professional field immediately after graduation through the alliance of AmeriCorps, the Center for Cultural Technology (CCT), the Media Arts Program at NMHU, and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. Through AmeriCorps I started work for SITE Santa Fe as their summer External Affairs assistant. Through out the summer I worked on organizing and formating press images, cataloging press images and press clips, and assisting in documenting public events, getting a taste for the logistics side of museum life.</div><div class="p6"><br />
</div><div class="p5">When I started researching MFA programs that had a museum connection, one of the first schools I came across was Parsons. The variety of fields in the Design and Technology program was an immediate draw. I knew I wanted to end up working for museums but how to go about it was still unclear. Having worked on many different kind of projects outside school, I feel I have much to offer in whichever path I take. I have a passion for filmmaking but skills in designing logos and layout, creating and building websites, and most recently working on mobile applications. The design and technology program will offer me an opportunity to develop all my skills, without having to narrow down to just a few. And in the end I will be a much better employee at no matter what museum I end up.</div><div class="p6"><br />
</div><div class="p5">All of my experiences have centered around museums in a positive way. I have seen how my work has helped to tell others' stories, captured a moment that was almost forgotten, or given someone an idea of what awaits them before they visit the museum. These experiences and the pleasure that come from them have secured the path I hope to tread. </div><div class="p6"><br />
