This Art piece illustrates an animal, in this case a Panda, being affected by the pollution cause by man. The art piece fits into the first slow design principle which is “REVEAL.” As you can see in the art piece, the panda is wearing a mask to help it breath. This piece is showing how…

Introduction post
Exoskin by Basheer Tome and Hiroshi Ishii is a project that utilizes programmed material to create a more tactile form that can react to its environment through texture changes. This project corresponds with principle 4 and 6; engage and evolve. In connection to principle 4 the product rely on interaction to provide feedback. In terms…

The six principles of Slow Design can be applied to many aspects of life. Through revelation, expansion, reflection, engagement, participation, and evolution, we can not only design art/pieces, but live a more bountiful life. In “House X on Behance” designed by Matas Miliauskas, the house has a modern appearance on the inside and outside. One…
Slow Design by Daniel Mota
The piece Chronos XXI (2017) by Joachim Sauter depicts the God of Time, Chronos, in a time interactive piece. A pendulum swings in front of a monitor which then creates the image of Chronos from Renaissance art; with each pass of the pendulum, a different portrayal of Chronos appears. This piece exemplifies the slow design…
New Media 2018 Blog Entry 1 “ The Slow Design Principles” Thoughts and Theories By Dustin Drenk
Reading The Slow Design Principles:A new interrogative and reflexive tool for design research and practice by Carolyn F. Strauss and Alastair Fuad-Luke was a positive experience and contained many new ideas and theories to speculate on through base cognitive thought and artistic expression. It helped me as an artist to objectively look at art and…
New Media Arts Blog 1 – Ivan Martinez
During the first day of class I thought I had a grasp of what new media arts was, but I looked deeper and found some interesting things. When looking through various pieces of art I had realized that my perception of the subject was different and I had to look deeper to understand it. I found…
Slow Design Principles
I choose Alvar Aalto’s first modernist chair design, mostly because he was a designer way ahead of his time. The Jacksons, stackable model 611 chairs, Alvar Aalto ca. 1930. This design encourages collaboration, better use of space, and fuels social interaction. When used it could be for a variety of purposes and isn’t limited to…

Initially when I heard about new media arts I thought it was only things like digital art and graphic design. I didn’t know how wrong I was until I saw some of the great things some artist made like Jer Thorp and Robert Hodgin just to name a few. New media arts isn’t just traditional…
Slow Design Research
The principles of Slow Design can be applied in many facets of life, from artworks to large computer systems. The first project which displays some principles of Slow Design is the Philips Tea Maker (pictured above). This tea maker is a water kettle and tea pot in one. Once the water is done boiling, the…
hello awesome new media students!
Welcome to our intro class blog. It’s going to be a semester of big growth. Get ready! ~ Sabrina
FInal Project
This project was expansion of my interactive midterm project. I wanted to create a Arduino drawing robot machine controlled by bluetooth. The user can create patterns on the fly without the help of pre programmed patterns within the Arduino code. Materials: Bluetooth module HC06 etc Bluetooth control app :http://www.keuwl.com/apps/bluetoothelectronics/ 1k resistors All the Materials Here:…
Final Project
9V Battery Cubs hat 6 jumpers Bluetooth Arduino Mac or iPhone with Bluetooth OLED board Soldering Iron This project was an expansion from my interactive project. So I made a couple of changes, instead of using and LCD display board I used an OLED display board to display the updates. So I got rid of…
