Building and Rebuilding v.01



After struggling with the idea of how to take into form my thesis I decided to build a thing, what I called the "WALL". The following posts and pics are snapshots about the process of how to build this environment.

New Precedents: searching my own language

This list gathers works that touch the idea of collective construction.

John Maeda:

This work has a correlation with my idea of collective construction.

Zach Lieberman:
Gesture Machines/ Mix Master

Even though this is not an audiovisual project it has the idea of mixing different inputs and creating a mean interpretation of them.

Golan Levin:
Ghost Pole Propagator

this project has similarities with mine in the sense of creating not only a collective construction but also the sense of leaving a trace for a while.
