		<title>Flower, a New Game About Nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Each level takes place in a different flower&#8217;s dream as it sits on the windowsill of a dull city apartment. As the player progresses through the game, the apartment and city gradually becomes more vibrant and colourful, until it climaxes at the 100% completion mark and the cityscape is replaced by a vibrant field with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
So apparently Collaborative Strategies were big in Antwerp around the 16th &#38; 17th centuries&#8230;  I saw this painting &#8220;Battle of Amazons&#8221; a collaborative painting by Jan Bruegel  and P.P. Rubens at the Rubenhuis, in downtown Antwerp.

Documentary of Quinta Monroy Project in Iquique, Chile from elementalchile on Vimeo.
This project by Elemental Architects (Chile) reminds me of Rural Studio/Samuel Mockbee (US) in that they involve the public in the design process. This project however goes a step further by adding the potential for expansion and further customization to be realized by the [...]]]></description>

PROPOSITIONS: &#8216;AFTER IMAGE&#8217;
Written + Realized: Documents, Objects, Flyers, Sculpture, Video, Painting, and Drawings.
(i) Is there any rest from images? In abstraction and representation? The attempt to deny the image is but just the most instinctual of all responses we can have to the image: shut it off. I am a bit confused to what you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article in Wired&#8217;s website &#8220;Beauty Affects Men&#8217;s and Women&#8217;s Brains Differently&#8221; caught my eye because of a recent discussion about how women and men process visual art differently. (Apparently there are studies that show a difference in the way men and women process music too.) But more interesting than the difference in how we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art, Design, and Copyright Between the Two.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

The previous post wasn&#8217;t for nothing, I wanted to point out that in thinking about function as a factor in determining the differences between art and design, I would reconsider the charges presented in the Fischli and Weiss vs Honda (Copyright Dispute), where The artist Fischi and Weiss claimed that Honda stole their art film, [...]]]></description>

		<title>These Human Contraptions: Art or Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Below are some rough ideas that surfaced during a discussion in my one and only design course this semester who&#8217;s function is to observe art and it&#8217;s relation to design, and vice-versa. Corrections and comments welcomed.
Above All there is Function.
If I had to (read had to) categorize something as being &#8220;art&#8221; or &#8220;design&#8221;, I would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wrong Angles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[














Interesting article plus multimedia in the New York Times last month about a show of the Ceausescu Collection in Romania&#8217;s Bucharest’s National Museum of Contemporary Art.  The paintings were all hung at angles or low to the ground to so the show is not interpreted as a tribute.
