Design Consciousness is Personal

  Visual reasoning involves applying visual rationale, which encompasses interpreting and understanding visual information to address problems and make informed decisions based on observations. This capacity is crucial across numerous fields, such as science, architecture, and art, where examining visual cues can lead to groundbreaking solutions and creative revelations. When judging the beauty of composition, figuring out what data in a graph means, or finding our way around a complicated environment, our visual perception is the essential thing that helps us make decisions. Enhancing our visual   reasoning skills   significantly improves our ability to draw meaningful conclusions from visual stimuli, elevating our cognitive capabilities. We refer to this procedure as the course of action. It is evident that perception diverges from logical reasoning and does not necessitate the assimilation of the external environment. Consider the example of parallax scrolling, a more ...

  “ The moon must be monstrous coy, or some things fall out opportunely, or else almanacs are consulted by nocturnal adventurers; but so it is, that when Cynthia shows a round and chubby disk, few daring deeds are done. Though true it may be, that of moonlight nights, jewelers’ caskets and maidens’ hearts have been burglariously broken into—and rifled, for aught Copernicus can tell. ”- From   Mardi  by Hermann Melville Herman Melville’s novels and poems did not receive favorable reviews during his lifetime. However, the designs he introduced in Moby-Dick, or The Whale, are still visible in various inventive disciplines today. In his Moby Dick impressions, Stella incorporates passion using euphoric patterning choices and raucous neon hues, resulting in a vast network of aesthetically divergent layers. Melville’s  Mardi  was a critical disaster. One reviewer described the book as a thick haze that makes it difficult to distinguish between ideas. The narrative...

  From the rigid realities of a landscape to the shifting motion of the horizon, a collection of symbolic systems shapes our cognition as we navigate and create existence. However, while confronting issues inside the sometimes-stagnating educational system, we neglect our participatory improvisational processes and become oblivious to our spontaneous awareness. We often yield to the intricate dynamics of   conventional academic institutions . Recently, I asked an older student, “Are shapes intrinsic?” She began to provide classifications for shapes, such as round, triangular, spherical, etc. Furthermore, She elaborated on her knowledge of shape-changing interfaces, which transform digital data into physical shapes, enabling users to manipulate and feel the data with their hands and bodies. I was slightly dismayed that she could not comprehend that touch is essential to our identity and activities. There is a lot of information we are still learning and should know. Current att...

  The classification of color remains a complex area of inquiry that has concerned philosophers, writers, and scientists throughout history. Is it an inherent characteristic of objects, such as dimensions and form? Is it an illusion, purely subjective and derived from visual experiences? The experimental modernist writer Hilda Doolittle, known by her initials H.D., believed it was her responsibility to synthesize disparate elements and explore the significance of color through a provocative, challenging, reductive, expansive, and analytical lens. Thus, she interrogated the entire notion of color in poetry. H.D. was dedicated to the ideal of completeness that centuries of Europeans had invested in Ancient Greece. The poet's desire for the complete subjugation of color and sensations is paradoxical, as the enchantment of color and objects is essential to her. The poet's yearning for a "still" and "unmoving" world stems from the inherent violence of object...

                 (The onset and core values of Cambridge Creation Lab) I spent more than five years completing my project, A Square and a Half-The Colors are Sounding, culminating in its launch at the MIT Museum in the autumn of 2018. The project comprises twenty sung lyrical narratives or songs that combine a variety of genres, as well as a journal that compiles narrative fragments, song lyrics, and images that disclose feelings, emotions, recollections, and associations. Numerous voices convey this information. I have endeavored to filter through a new visual language to convey the starkness of the interior world of human consciousness about scientific thought and information. I have attempted to reconstruct personal memories, experiences, and imagination to synthesize lyrical abstraction from scientific research or ideas. To reveal the layers of open configurations and the underlying references, connotations, parallels of thought, and re...

  MIT researchers have discovered a novel method for constructing intricate three- dimensional structures using self-assembling polymer materials, which generate minuscule wires and junctions. They arrange block copolymer layers into orderly perpendicular rows, thus facilitating the creation of smaller chip components and serving as an alternative to photolithography used in the 1960s for computer chip fabrication. This evokes the image of a net, where intersecting fibers knot at their junctions, creating a flexible grid of square compartments. It evokes the concept of a fish trap, still in use for capturing fish and crustaceans, or the nets crafted by ancient Hawaiians from olona, firebrand, and stone sinkers. I focus on a site-specific wire mesh sculpture that, via its translucency, absorbs light and color, seamlessly integrating into the skyline while merging lyrical sublimity with appealing viewpoints on the present vs. the past. In a distinct setting, Irish author James Joyce ...
