WK13: symposium (1 of 2)
Against all odds, I actually got *something* resembling my ideal final installation up in time for Symposium Day. It was 85-90% finished, which was good enough for being able to share my project with the symposium respondents/panelists.
To give some context, for the past 4 years, MDP has invited external designers to respond to thesis students’ work. This year, the respondents were:
Miya Osaki Co-founder of Diagram Office in New York and MDP alum
Daniela Rosner Assistant Professor in Human-Centered Design & Engineering at University of Washington, Seattle
Rosten Woo LA-based artist, designer, and educator
After some behind-the-scenes “matchmaking” each respondent is assigned a group of students. My respondent was Daniela Rosner! Although our conversation was relatively brief (only 20 minutes), she seemed to instantly “get” my work. Which isn’t too shabby for talking about it through a not-quite-finished installation.Â
