As English is my third language, after Ukrainian and Russian, I had to look up the meaning of the word Augmented, which I found out means improved, increased, better, etc. After I finished the reading I would like to change the term augmented to the opposite of the meaning as disabling, controlled, diminishing, artificial. I…

Apparently, you’re never alone.
I’m currently inhaling little tiny bits of internet that are whirring and whooshing around my dorm room. Data, images, text messages, phone conversations, music, and all other forms of digital “stuff” is hanging in the air around me, quietly invading this green earth, broken down into fragments that I often wonder are nothing more than…
Augmented Space
This reading about augmented space was very informative, not only are there many different forms of augmented space but then it is further explained through various examples that really help me wrap my mind around certain topics. For instance the way that the writer explains the combination surveillance, cell space, and electronic displays. It is…
Argumented Space
I kind of had a hard time getting into this essay, however, as a studio arts major I liked how the author tied in how the concept of the white cube as gallery space has changed over time. For many years art was two dimensional and, for the most part, hung only on the walls…
Augmented Space
This article was difficult to read, to say the least. And I felt that his point could have been made much sooner along in the essay. Interesting enough, he brought to my attention the never-ending growth of augmented space, virtual reality, and intelligent spaces to my attention. As I was reading the article I was…
Downtown Light Installation
There is a great light installation on Randolph in between Dearborn and LaSalle. I’ve seen it in the early evening when I was driving downtown. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to stop for very long but it is a really nice site to see. I couldn’t find any information about who installed it or how long…
Spatial Research
Beauty, Olafur Eliasson, 1993 When asked about his art works, Olafur Eliasson says, “I think in my work, the way you engage in the work is very constitutional for what you then see or perceive or experience.” I think that that is a very fundamental idea to all of Olafur Eliasson’s works of art. His…

Olafur Eliasson
being a fan of olafur eliasson, since when i read about his weather project, i was really excited to see his show at the mca. my favorite works was Room for one colour 1997 and Inverted Berlin sphere 2005. Room for one colour 1997- when i first walked threw the hall way i thought i…
Nature Meets City
Ever wonder if mother nature could thrive within an urban environment? The interactive public installment is set up in Adelaide, Australia and its purpose is to find out if nature could survive and grow in an city setting. Amensalism refers to how an organism is affected by another being, so each organism within the installment…
I thought the article was interesting. The talk of virtual reality was something that caught my attention. I remember in the mid nineties a few movies coming out that capitalized on the use of virtual reality as the main theme of the movie. These movies are probably my only experience with virtual reality. I can…
Paul Chan (The 7 Lights)
This is one of seven projected video pieces created by Paul Chan. This project began in 2005 and began showing in 2007 (when he finished the last light). He manipulates computer technology, light and imagery to create works of art. He uses silhouettes and intense color to portray destruction and rebirth.
