Double-Cute Battle Mode is a VJ-Remixing-Battle for 2 players that lets them mix visuals in a playful interaction. DCBM allows players to combine images and special effects in a playful battle for screen space. Using joysticks, players plug their imagination into their PC and share a creative space in an intuitive video-game style interaction. The project is presented as an installation, using a video projector to show the live remix game. This experience explores some modular approaches to the interaction experience, combining software with video game interfacing, performance and spatial design. Shoji Kawamori’s robot designs are the inspiration for the imagery that will drive the live techno-playspace. This is the first project Carlos and Aya have worked on together.

These posters bring my work with method and process out of the depths of the studio and into the light. Created to inform people of upcoming lectures, these posters also serve as ground for exploration of my own ideas. The John Maeda poster, for instance, features three separate elements each printed repeatedly in a row. Because of their printing these posters work much like waves of different frequencies - elements sync up occasionally only to come out of sync and then potentially in sync again.

Teetering precariously on the verge of graduation, Daniel Lievens will soon have an MFA in Design from The University of Texas at Austin, the same institution that awarded him BA in English in 1998.

Always fascinated with bending the rules of particular processes, his work focuses on ways to bring method and process to the forefront of Design. He crafts stratagems for creating work and brings those stratagems to the surface.

A "demo" is a form of art that involves real-time computer graphic effects accompanied by music. A demo looks similar to a music video or a short computer animated film without a plot or message. However, the graphics of demo's are created entirely using computer programming, instead of animation or video tools, and are inten... More >>
