Movements (2005)
Jason Tung
Digital Image Manipulation ART350
The Ohio State University
digital photo montage

This image was created for the final project
assignment which was the student’s choice as far as content and concept. Jason made this image as an exploration of his interest in martial arts and gaming. He was interested in how he might create a feeling of movement in a static, two-dimensional
image.

digital photo montage

After one week of training in the basics of Adobe Photoshop, the students were put into groups for this in-class collaborative assignment. This group was given a single digital photograph and asked to sample imagery from the internet to create a
narrative.

iPod Nation (2005)
Zach Fisher
Digital Image Manipulation Art 350
The Ohio State University
digital image montage

The assignment for this project was to
sample existing media and re-interpret and
re-configure the material to convey a new
message. This student produced a series of
six of these iPod ads that were altered to
portray a sense of subordination and
homoginization of the consumer.

Cherry Bomb (2005)
Adam Wagner
Digital Image Manipulation Art350
The Ohio State University
digital image montage

In this image the student used magazines
and scanned material from them before
cutting the imagery up and layering it into
the final collage.

My X-Friends (2005)
Zach Fisher
Digital Image Manipulation ART350
The Ohio State University
altered digital photo

This student used a combination of digital
photograpghy and Photoshop effects to make his freinds appear to have super-hero powers.

Biofluorescence (2005)
Andrew Lykins
Digital Image Manipulation ART350
The Ohio State University
altered digital photo

For this assignment students were asked to consider some aspect of bioloogical engineering and the future of genetically engineered plants. The class then visited a greenhouse on campus and took digital photos of plants there. This student used effects and layering to create plants that can
produce light.

Untitled (2006)
Cameron Putsch
New Media Sculpture ART550
The Ohio State University
electric drill, cigar box, model car, microcontroller, electronics, scrap metal
36”x18”x18”

This sculpture was constructed from found objects and was a mechanically actuated system of motors that created motions and sounds. The artist was an auto mechanic for high performance race cars and used various old parts and tools to compose the sculpture. The mechanical movements of parts of the sculpture physically triggered the next action in the cycle.

Kristina Renig
Sculpture: Concepts and Strategies
The University of Florida
wood, twine

This student’s response to the project was a
literal interpretation of the term passages,
which was the theme and title for this
project in wood.

Untitled (2008)
Ensley Gilchrest
Sculpture: Concepts and Strategies
The University of Florida
bamboo, wood

This is another response to the passages project,
however this student chose a more conceptual
interpretation of the theme. Sustainability and green
building materials were the source of inspiration
behind this exploding bamboo sculpture.

Untitled (2008)
Romana Newbold
Sculpture: Concepts and Strategies
The University of Florida
broken wood pieces, sticks, palm fronds

In this work the student was interested in exploring
the history of materials in everyday objects such as
a chair. Specifically, she wanted to show a fragment
of experience from the life of this object and how it
has interacted with many people and lives.

Miami Skyline (2008)
Nancy Padron
Sculpture: Concepts and Strategies
The University of Florida
various hardwood

Nancy chose to represent a portion of history from
the architecture of her native Miami skyline. Various
hardwood elements were cut, carved, mortised,
and skillfully joined drawing influence from modern
furniture as well as from the modern architecture
of Miami.

Veil (2008)
Kirian Regan
Sculpture: Materials and Methods
The University of Florida
wood, wire

Veil was created by stitching together many small
wooden pieces to form this flowing, floating fabric.
The concept of the veil was the inspiration for this
work and was employed to express ideals of purity
while creating depth and illusion with an interaction
with light and especially cast shadows.

Untitled (2008)
Elena Lopez-Trigo
Sculpture: Materials and Methods
The University of Florida
bamboo, wood

In this project in plaster, the student worked with the
form of a common recliner and created a heavy
impression as evidence of the body that occupied
this seat. The sculpture was hollow and formed by
casting plaster and fabric sheets.

Untitled (2008)
Jessica McGuinness
Sculpture: Machine Sculpture
The University of Florida
metal, found objects, electric motor

In this work the student was interested in exploring
the history of materials in everyday objects such as
a chair. Specifically, she wanted to show a fragment
of experience from the life of this object and how it
has interacted with many people and lives.

Drawing Machine #2 (2008)
Don Edler
Sculpture: Machine Sculpture
The University of Florida
wood, electronics, ink, canvas

Don was very interested in mark making and
developed a series of machines to create drawings
in unique ways. This machine used the vibrations
transmitted directly through a speaker to vibrate a
plastic tray, which caused ink to spatter and spit in
rhythm with the music being played.

Circuitous Bucketry (2006)
Chris Howard
New Media Sculpture ART550
The Ohio State University
mixed media, various found buckets,
microcontrollers and electronics

A series of metal buckets with motors and circuitry
created sound based on the viewer’s interaction.
One of the buckets supported a ring of dominoes
that each had a magnet embedded in their bases.
When the viewer knocked over the dominoes,
Hall-effects sensors caused motions and sounds to
be created by the other buckets.

Jeremy Meizle
New Media Sculpture ART550
The Ohio State University
mixed media, LCD screen and surveilance
camera, microcontroller, audio electronics
9”x13”x4”

This interactive artwork used a surveillance camera
and LCD screen to mirror the image of the viewer.
On the surface of the picture frame was a button
that would randomly playback one of four noises:
a dog barking, a monkey, the artist screaming,
or a chicken crowing.

Predator Drone (2006)
Hussam Kashou
New Media Sculpture ART550
The Ohio State University
aluminum, lexan, motors, lights, microcontroller
16”x16”x16”

This mixed-media, kinetic sculpture was inspired by the fear of future predatory robots. The aluminum construction rotated and blinking lights were activated by the viewer’s presence. The student
developed a working model of this work using the 3-D digital imaging software Cinema 4D.

Meat Box (2006)
New Media Sculpture ART550
The Ohio State University
wood , synthetic fabric, plastic,
found mechanism, motor, microcontroller
30”x48”x16”

This sculpture explored the genetic engineering of livestock and the future production of engineered modules of meat that could be grown efficiently without the actual animal. The faux cow hide top undulated through a series of programmed motions translated by an electric motor and cam system.
