ICM: Final Project Documentation
Over the course of the semester, I’ve been interested in investigating the ethereal language that we use to describe the internet, data, and other forms of technology and how this language masks the physical processes and material resources that construct … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 10: Final Project Ideas
Interested in continuing to explore idea of labor in relation to new technology…but possibly something else as well. IDEA 1: Animated essay/story: Write/find an essay on a subject and have it be formatted across multiple pages, with different interactions, animations, … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 8: Vid/Sound
This week, I wanted to continue visualizing these “ethereal” elements of technology. I’ve been thinking a lot about how technology takes us out of the present, almost like it transports us into another realm. Using our phones, we’re in a … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 7: Data
So, I’ve been eager to play with data. But I’ll be honest, I didn’t imagine the magnitude to how difficult it is to find/work with certain sets of data. I guess this got me thinking about the nature of “Big … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 6 – DOM DOM DOM DOM…DOM

ICM, Wk 5: Got My Grid

ICM, Wk 4: Here We Go Again
This week, our assignment was to take a previous drawing and try to use the new object and function formatting to clean it up. I thought back to my Sol LeWitt drawing from the first week and I wondered how I … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 3: A simple game that turned out to be pretty complicated
I’ll be honest, the last thing I want to do is write a blog post about this week’s assignment. What grief it gave me! Before I write any more, I want to direct readers to my repository of code: https://github.com/zoebachman/icm/tree/week3 … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 2: Jazzy Timez Animation
When I was trying to come up with a piece for this week I had an image in mind of these node-like shapes appearing with the press of the button. Sort of circles, with spindly lines coming out of them. … Continue reading
