One Week Thesis

Had to pretend our entire thesis was due in one week's time so I threw together a fun and slightly crazy called "A Brief History of the Fear Pheromone."

Please comment - I won't take it personal. It was an exercise - I tried designing a sci-fi future in 2033.

What do you think? How does this short video (1.5 minutes long) make you feel?

What I am thinking about these days

It is thesis year. I have till May 2011 to come up with a thesis project that includes several designed "things" and written work. Two weeks in and I've hit the ground running. It helps that I took all summer to ponder, muse and entertain odd thoughts.

So here's what I've been thinking.

Critical Design. Part art object, part social science, part design.

Check out this short youTube video, Critique on Critical Design, to learn more about what it is. It's unusual, new, provoking... awkward. But awesome :)
