Work in progress thesis, Spring Semester

My work has been changing. For so long I wanted to layer images, and I have been, but perhaps it's time for a change. What I am doing now is taking photos of my own and inputting them into visual search software to find images that are the same. We have the same memories, we have the same photos.

There are 23 photo groups.

This post includes the gif forms of each group.

Eventually, I will be working with a process called lenticular printing where all the images are put through a program and printed, then covered with a special lens that will make the 2-D image look like an animation. It will be kind of like these gifs, but each image will be viewable at a different angle.

Facebook: text vs. image

How often do we add a caption to the photos we post on Facebook? Is the photo not enough to stand alone? I took all of the photos I have posted on Facebook and superimposed their captions, so they can battle between which is more important: the image or the text?

The Stories We Used to Know

This was one of my favorite things to see from the trip. The Sinagua people who lived in the area believed that the cracks in the rock were the entrances and exits to the place of the dead. Spirits could come and go as they please. This glyph shows a funeral procession with the dead soul being thrown into the crack in the rock- to the place of the dead.
