What is Reality? is my response to societies fascination with reality television. This piece is designed and constructed from scrap steel to simply frame the world around us and change our perception of reality; the idea being that real life is far from perfect. This installation piece invites both the viewer and the subject to partake in the viewing experience. Simply find the marking on the ground and enjoy.

As each day of the week goes by I will be moving the piece to a new location on campus. I will leave its location a mystery so as to provide a sort of scavenger hunt; however, I will report here each night on its previous locations with a new photo so be sure to come back for updates.

::Update::
Here are the pictures from today and a map from its location. Be sure to check back tomorrow for pictures and an updated map of where this project has been.

I have recently installed an art piece on the SJSU campus in front of the Health Center. For those of you visiting my blog looking for more information, I ask that you please return soon or subscribe to my rss feed for updates. I am currently busy putting together content on the piece and will be posting shortly. Thank you for your time.

So I have met more important people in the last semester then I have my whole life. My network has grown and along the way I was poorly represented so I have designed these to be printed soon. Let me know what you think of my new business cards.

I just took some shots of my newest DSGD 105 (intermediate graphic design) project and put them in the gallery. I will be putting up more of my portfolio for you all to see so be sure to check back (and yes I know I have promised this before but! plogger has made this much easier). So… check it out and let me know what you think…

As I promised I will start by finishing the two stories I had previously had promised to post about and finish later. Unfortunately, I have been so busy with other things, that I will address later, that I have likely forgotten much of the details to these stories. However, I will do my best to give these stories justice. So… on with the show!
