Wooden Mirrors

Here's some links to some YouTube videos showing how these wooden mirrors work, just to prove I'm not completely crazy.

This video describes the whole thing in detail:

But this is the cooler design in my opinion. It doesn't show it very well, and I can't find a better video, but this design uses wooden dowels cut on an angle that cast the light rather than a flat piece.

My beach house's bookshelf

So this past week I was on vacation in Charleston, South Carolina. We rented a beach house on the Isle of Palms, which was fully furnished with everything you could ever need/want.

Here's the bookshelf. Feel free to judge, or not judge.

Procrastination at its best

PRESENTS FOR EVERYONE :)

I sent out an e-mail to everyone, if you did not receive it, here it is

Hi class friends!!!!!

I hope final critiques are going well. Again, I am so sorry I can not be there to see everyone else's projects, but I have heard from a classmate Tuesday was really cool.

I have presents for everyone. They will be in a bag marked "Kris's beach presents for Intermedia II class" or something to those lines. I will try and put them in the class room this weekend. If I can not get into the classroom, they will be outside Katie's studio.

I hope everyone is doing great. Finish out the year strong!!!!!

Thanks
-Kris

Random Tidbits

I forgot to mention that on Kyla Medina's website, the thumbnails are blank (because they are animated .GIF files). Click through to watch the whole series.


Also, during Harry's critique, I noticed that on his website the images loaded very slowly. Are you making sure to use 72 ppi? That's the accepted image quality for the web, and it ensures that everything loads as quickly as the website itself. Also, depending on what server you're using, it helps use as little space as possible. If you have any questions ask me or any of the designers, I'm sure they'll know too!

Peter Paisley in 3D!

My friend Kyla Medina took a "3D" picture of Peter Paisley and it's on her website. It's pretty cool. This is just a screen capture, but on the website it moves. Check it out!

In Marina Abromovic's new exhibit The Artist is Present at the MoMA, Marina sits at a table.  Viewers sit on the other side and she silently stares and makes them cry.  The MoMA adds an additional level of interactivity by streaming video of the exhibit on the web during museum hours.  COOL
