For my creative switch project, I was influenced to create something that would standout. Often at parties there is a theme of attire. I wanted to create a tie that lights up when I put it on, but turns off when I take it off. I could wear this tie at a black like party…

Philip Beesley A artist that specialized in organic forms that were centralized architectural pieces made for interior spaces. These forms are not only strange in appearance but also active in awareness, he would say that they are alive. One of the works that I looked at named Implant Matrix created a canopy of organic structures that appeared much like spider webs or jellyfish reacted to human interaction. Some of the motions that it gives off is some thing close to breathing, ingesting or convulsing. The Idea itself is wonderfully inspiring, having a kinetic interior space or even exterior space is thought provoking and engaging, it would be something to consider for some of the newer architects designing. That being said some of the styling is very repulsive, very alien in the literal and metaphorical sense. I think that the way that it looks will scare some viewers critically analyzed. Another one of his sculptures named Endothelium, which contained a number of these pods that are setup in this array somewhat like a forest. These pods are filled with copper, vinegar and aluminum that give this very yellow glow. The legs are affixed to some kind of vibrating device that made them shake as if they were alive. What Beesley was trying emulate was the separation of organs such as the organs on an ameba. Idea and elements of its design are pretty awesome and imposing structure however the superstructure in which the sacks are suspended in look a bit to mechanical while contrasting the sacks is a great dialogue I believe it hurts the overall message.

I could imaging entering Hylozoic Ground and being simultaneously mystified and disturbed by it’s layered, undulating, featherlike structures. As I hypotheticly wander through the installation, the surfaces reach out to caress and respond to my movement, and little motors and actuators make insect like noises. The architect/artist states that this installation is an experiment in…
