An interview with Hiromu Oka, a motion graphic designer based in Tokyo, talking about the importance of working analog (RISO) to inform his digital processes. The final interview is translated into a 4 page newspaper publication. This relates to the theme of portals because it is connecting the ways in which conversations are shared remotely in different parts of the world, and rich, valuable insight is soaked in, opening the possibilities of approaching design differently.

Sept-Oct 2021

Printed Media

To kick off the year, DSIII students created posters (based on the idea of taxonomy) that were transformed into public installation pieces. This work is particularly meaningful to me because it involves the community, and not just because of the interactive collage aspect. From ordering custom fluorescent chalk markers from Micheal B. at the RISD Store to talking to Peter at the 3D store about cut orders for acrylic sheets to learning how to vinyl cut from Ed and John at the type shop, this piece would not have been possible without the help of the RISD community.

My Collection

Publication

This collection of images captures a range of natural items that people collect, study, or worship. It explores parallels between Romantic and Transcendental appreciation for nature and those of more institutional religious rituals. The cold epistemology of modern scientific viewpoints adds extra dimension to the collection, as these objects exist at intersections between spirituality and science, pulling us both toward nature and separating us from it.
