I apologize to my friends and the two people that actually read this. I am currently Assistant Professor of Art at Lincoln University of Missouri. As of late I was fortunate enough to be awarded a Fellowship at the Japan Studies Institute/ San Diego State University. I have to say, Sensei Higurashi is the best! I absolutely loved the entire experience and I love the weather in SD! My summer was awesome, and I can't really complain about anything. I was fortunate to do some non profit work and college visits with my good friend John Remo, we ended up traveling to Tokyo, Manila, and Seoul all summer... I am very thankful to all of my international friends that made the experience a memorable one... Maasa, Jiwoo, Sakiroo, Obam, Ami and the Joven family! (As well as everyone that I met along the way!.) As for now... its back to the grind along with trying to improve my Korean language skills!!</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always loved to travel. Maybe I take it for granted,
but I think whether you are poor or have money, you can basically manage to get
from point A to B. Of course, in more recent years my ability to buy a flight
or perhaps apply for an academic grant has become more possible. I have wanted
to teach for a long time, maybe subconsciously or something because I feel that
I have had a compass just pointing me in the “right” direction for some time
now. (For me its all about the lifestyle; it fits me.) I can’t even begin to
recount how many times something has gone my way or some shit that was
completely unplanned or crazy happened without any expectations… Even when you
think that those things are impossible, they can happen. Perfect timing and
being at the right place at the right time can go a long way. And by “perfect
timing” I mean the most random chaotic forces of nature possible. One thing
that helps most is to just get out there! The more you get out there the higher
the percentage of chance you are going to have of stumbling into something cool
or surprising. And I don’t mean just shmoosing and trying to be everywhere but
I think if you’re genuine about it you can meet some great people along the
way. Just don’t let the few assholes that are out there ruin it for you. The
more people there are the more characters you will meet… both good and bad just
take it all in if you can. It’s all about the experience… sometimes when I find
something beautiful in front of me I try to conscientiously take a good long
stare, just in case that the “life flashing before your eyes” during death is
possible… I want to see that shit again on playback. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I spend more time waiting at airports and killing time than
I do on the plane… not sure if this is the same for everyone but its good
people watching time. (And finally I get to write a little bit.) This was my
third College Art Association conference… truth is; it’s hard to find a job at
these things but definitely not impossible. (I didn’t come here for that so I
was stress free.) The colleges never show up on the first day unless they are
really really looking for someone. You have a better chance of researching
online and contacting these schools before you go to the conference; that way
you can possibly setup an interview. It’s tough out there, the job market is
terrible and honestly sometimes your future can simply depend so much on who
you know, your references… and LUCK. (Straight out and simple LUCK!!!) Everyone
should be talented to some degree in my opinion so that isn’t even on the
table. Just know that everyone is the best and they are all your “competition.”
If you come here just to find a job and don’t take the time to enjoy yourself a
little with an event or two it can end up as a really kick in the ass and pointless
trip. Don’t be too bummed about not finding something right away… If you’re at
least good at what you do… “It’s really just them not you.” You can critique
yourself by seeing how other people apply and present their portfolios…
Professionalism goes a long way. Its good just to see how people are approaching
these job opportunities, just be yourself. (There are many paths to getting
somewhere and what works for one person will NOT work for another.) In the end,
a lot of these positions are already given away to someone either inside the
system (i.e. already employed by the institution) or to someone they have been
eyeing. The simple truth is that listing a job position out there that is
“already taken” is the reality and its just the universities doing things in
the formal ways that they are legally accustomed to. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So anyways, forget all the stressful stuff and try to meet
people and see things. Just say hi… Someone once told me “Compliments go a long
way.” And I thought about it and realized how completely brilliant this simple
idea was. If you give someone a compliment it’s unlikely that you will find
yourself with a negative experience… Worse case scenario, they ignore you but
usually they will say thank you, which can lead to good conversation and maybe
even a new friend or travel buddy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Even a smile is a good experience. (Remember Patch Adams??) Just don’t
let all of the overly “fashionista” and trendy crap get to you… that’s another
post. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And as far as traveling, it’s always great to be able to
hang with some good people… people that you can trust and that you can have a
sweet experience with. But yah, you can’t always fit everyone’s separate
schedule so there will be times that you will just have to say fuck it and do
what you want to do. Sometimes those experiences can be the best too. I was
running around the GWB and West Side Highway in the middle of the night in NYC…
By myself and it was a freaking blast. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s probably good that my friends weren’t with me, if they
were to be hit by a car on the highway I would feel bad. But the views up there
are amazing, there so much the city has to offer. I did more in the last few
days than I did when I lived here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyways, as far as traveling… Trains are the best in my
opinion. Saving that for another post. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So… while I was at the CAA I checked out the Natural Museum
of History. Hands down one of the best experiences of my life… Dorky I know,
but I love history. As a kid I always desired to be an archeologist. (I say
Desire because I was that obsessed with it.) I met with Susan Rostow and
Christina over at the now “Speedball/Akua” booth. It was great to see them, the
printmaking community is small enough that you can actually become familiar
with people and make friends a long the way. It’s like a club with its own
secret language that is there for anyone that is willing to passionately work
at it. But yah… the Natural History museum is amazing. (I don’t know how any
person can live without going to a place like this!) The dinosaur stuff seemed
fake to me and was no comparison to an exhibit that I saw in Paris. But,
everything else was over the top. You just have to go there and see for
yourself. If you’re poor you can pay $1 (suggested donation). I don’t feel bad
at all paying $1 because I have about 90K in student loans that I will be
paying forever. Also, as an educator and artist I feel that I contribute to the
world around me so I am perfectly fine with not paying $25 admission. In the
end I end up paying that much anyways at so many places that it really adds up.
I’m glad some places have “free or sponsored days.” $25 admission to get into
the MOMA is fucking ridiculous for the average person that doesn’t go out of
their way to visit museums. Sure, the one free day is nice, pat yourself on the
back… It’s all corporate sponsoring anyways. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I like going to galleries with my brother because he
represents the average person on the street. Yesterday we were at the Basquiat
show and he was telling me all about what these slang terms meant in Puerto
Rican culture and they really affected the way I saw the paintings. My brother
probably “knew” more about these things than most people in the room. I’m not
knocking museums and whatnot so don’t take offense if you’re reading this. As
for my “qualifications” I’ve been to a lot of museums lol. When I was in H.S. I
received a scholarship from a decent sized museum that allowed me to work in
every department… marketing, security, education, curatorial. This is where I
learned that a high percentage of art just sits in some vault never to be seen
by anyone, and the politics of how things were chosen for showcase and how
people dealt with contracts to submit work dependent on so and so conditions… I
was very fortunate. Me and Kwame would run around the museum like it was our
own personal playground. The museum basically adopted as for the summer and
they were so good to us, we would literally just hang out and had access to
everything. Rembrandt etchings and VanGoghs… like candy from those quarter
machines. This is where I learned that the people that get to see the most art
and have access to everything are the ones that handle the installations,
lighting, and painting of the walls. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was at the Printeresting event last night over at Columbia
University. I had never been there before so it was all new to me, I was
surprised that it was just down the street from Spanish Harlem. They didn’t show
much personal work or anything like that but they talked a lot about the
history and current trends of print. It was just really nice to see them
finally as people and they seemed pretty laid back. Academic enough but you
could tell that they were just printmakers like the rest of us. I saw some
refreshing work as well… Jason posted a Makerbot self scan that reminded me of
the 3D printmaking I’ve been doing for the last two years. It was just really
refreshing seeing and talking to these people. I won’t get in depth on a
conversation that I had with Paul the other day… but its great to see when
people can project and connect all the dots in this innovative new generation
media. You can be some “hot shot” ridiculously popular artist or whatever but
these kids are the ones that are changing things and making moves. (Not to say
that others can’t but the older generation and established artists can have a
harder time relating to some things.) I don’t know… time for a break. Have a
while before my flight comes in. </div>

I am terrible at updating this blog. I keep pushing things back and a lot of events have happened in between. I have spent this last week running around in NYC! Trying to do all of the tourist things that I never did while living here. I didn't even know we had a Natural Museum of History, one of the best experiences I've had in a long while. It was great to see the Printeresting event over at Columbia... Running across the west side highway and GWB. Jason Urban posted some Makerbot scans he had done, really inspiring partly because it reminds me of a lot of my work in recent years and it kind of lit a fire again. I had a really good conversation with Paul the other day about our new generation technology, globalism, and being able to project things... The time is now!! Teaching four courses plus all of the academic background stuff is a lot of work, but I love my job. Balance is key, going to try to get back to making. Everyone really has an opportunity... discipline and focus...energy... Sometimes you just have to take chances and do what you need to do. I'm really happy my friends are making moves, it's great to see! I'll try to update this thing, mostly I do this to look back and reflect. One day when I'm ready to croak and Alzheimer's takes its toll on my mind... I'd like to at least have something to look back on before I totally lose it. Haha.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Lincoln University of Missouri is great, I am really fortunate and happy to have had this opportunity! I am currently working on developing their graphic design program and their printmaking area. My goal is to establish an exciting contemporary environment that concentrates on traditional design fundamentals and practices along with interdisciplinary techniques that cross over into print media/printmaking! I know it has been a while since I have posted... A few and many weeks ago, I got a call from Susan Rostow of Akua Inks! I worked on a lot of the user research done at RIT for their inks back in 2002, so I was really happy to be featured on their website.

I don't really see this show as an end all, only the beginning, so that's ok. I have been working with technology since at least 1995 when I studied graphic communications at my high school and <span style="font-style: italic;">downloaded</span> my first version of Photoshop. Actually, it was all an "accident" I never had an art class until my senior year of high school, and I had only transferred to Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School because the day before classes started in the 9th grade I had gone to the dentist and one of my best friends James was there. He told me that he was changing schools... So I asked my father if I could too, I didn't even know what a vocational school was. I remember being called down to the cafeteria to sign up for "shops"... later I learned that this meant that I only had to study "academics" every other week, but really it meant so much more. I changed shops three times while I was there, Electronics, Information Technology, and Graphic Communications. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br /><br />Actually, I really hated commercial printing, I found it to be so boring at the time. Printing calendars and brochures was not fun at all, but luckily somehow I learned enough which transferred over to my Printmaking as an undergraduate at Rochester Institute of Technology. My first real experience with fine art printing was when I met Keith Howard and David Jay Reed, that changed everything. I miss those years because I used to do everything that you weren't supposed to do, when you're young and clueless you just don't know any better. I remember asking Keith if I could develop a photograph (photo paper) in the developer... which turned out to be "soda ash" and not photographic chemical. He looked at me and said he didn't know whether to laugh or not because he couldn't figure out if I was being serious. </span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" ><br />The way I work has changed and evolved over the years but in general it starts with sketches/drawing that I redo in Photoshop or Illustrator. Using scanners, commercial printing techniques, and photographic processes... They all usually end up being mixed up together. I really do not see a difference between any of them and I never have. I've had this discussion a lot lately... it always ends up really abstracted and people telling me that this is not that or that is not this.</span>Marchelo Verahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05270838029647142273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582626007460497916.post-15990885648695357652012-01-28T12:56:00.000-08:002012-01-28T13:07:59.989-08:00Silkscreen Photography<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbZwaORPt1J8WGVyaXnboL6x39ttEFUMj_2DPy4jD5dptf-DRHA5KGzZTfoZlqpqtqs69Sic56I_y2-S-JBAJVbPUvqVZgiIA_Hn7u8A4coajSLLsVSbE9DYCQbp-Pi6APbERcZtaHcw/s1600/marchelo_sergio1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLbZwaORPt1J8WGVyaXnboL6x39ttEFUMj_2DPy4jD5dptf-DRHA5KGzZTfoZlqpqtqs69Sic56I_y2-S-JBAJVbPUvqVZgiIA_Hn7u8A4coajSLLsVSbE9DYCQbp-Pi6APbERcZtaHcw/s320/marchelo_sergio1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702789923899580706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7AMK08hXiWh4s2pGaaNLeSWlt5S7GUCYL15gpNosPkYswwDOzS69kBjapmTNwf4ehGNxxZvETL7roqyBEcfKFo7_5w_JvzWPnPVZUSoRv2GF0dj9qF5f0QJGWQiEqzZQUo26tsdcpZE/s1600/marchelo_sergio2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7AMK08hXiWh4s2pGaaNLeSWlt5S7GUCYL15gpNosPkYswwDOzS69kBjapmTNwf4ehGNxxZvETL7roqyBEcfKFo7_5w_JvzWPnPVZUSoRv2GF0dj9qF5f0QJGWQiEqzZQUo26tsdcpZE/s320/marchelo_sergio2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702789927971819122" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" >Before break I was approached by Sergio Gomez from Columbia, a first year graduate in the photography program to help with some silkscreen. After figuring out a few variables in the studio during open hours, our troubleshooting paid off. I can't wait to see his graduate walk through.

After so many years, it was nice to finally show alongside Keith Howard, my professor, mentor, and friend. Bernie took the photo, she was recently accepted for the IPCNY show in NYC so that was great to hear!<br /><br />I have been trying to juggle thesis exhibition work, writing, job research & applications alongside my crazy schedule and personal life. I guess this is what everyone goes through... It's frustrating, I do not enjoy "finishing" work for the sake of deadlines, I do not feel sometimes that my final prints/drawings are completed as I would like... but again, I'm sure every artist goes through this. (I most certainly am not an exception.) There's so much crap that I produce that never gets shown anywhere: ideas, notes, experiments. Countless experiments, they have always been part of my nature. Piecing together and taking apart...<br /><br />I have been creating and learning more and more about book binding... Books, although geared towards aesthetics are quite functional. I really enjoy sitting down and figuring out how to put together a book that potentially has some kind of purpose. It can be considered art, but not necessarily. So when I am done, there is no question of its authenticity. Bookbinding right now equals meditation.Marchelo Verahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05270838029647142273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582626007460497916.post-90984737522769402372011-12-10T09:37:00.001-08:002011-12-11T12:58:53.955-08:00Thesis Exhibition Exploration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1RcV6GfjsLsMYsRu91_rnOymsi9rNCVguarLhDClt1nZ-1QuiNSK7BV3V-rIEWv4_IXoEceRCkrg-4iEJg9DJ3XYtAT595JvhcnaDYAJrEGKAyzzB0v5_b-A82GNT4n7g-eKqsyrzD5U/s1600/marchelovera.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1RcV6GfjsLsMYsRu91_rnOymsi9rNCVguarLhDClt1nZ-1QuiNSK7BV3V-rIEWv4_IXoEceRCkrg-4iEJg9DJ3XYtAT595JvhcnaDYAJrEGKAyzzB0v5_b-A82GNT4n7g-eKqsyrzD5U/s320/marchelovera.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684976515505652626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2QhkNR71dFfo0BX2s7d6PzG0N0P3CDRRA1h_SKTkBFM0GoNUNgv5pSRoMz6eZLA5sT4lFJJZioGCx2cTA0XNE0t4jbBTxnq5yRTO_IxUuqWETsLgIZXhyhHZJIcLA_6pfl_22TI6E9OQ/s1600/marchelo3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2QhkNR71dFfo0BX2s7d6PzG0N0P3CDRRA1h_SKTkBFM0GoNUNgv5pSRoMz6eZLA5sT4lFJJZioGCx2cTA0XNE0t4jbBTxnq5yRTO_IxUuqWETsLgIZXhyhHZJIcLA_6pfl_22TI6E9OQ/s320/marchelo3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684577099484877138" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Testing out the light units... fun times!</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtw8uiUUqXkMHVqqaau-QQj8a0igTlKoPaERPVMLeufoF0zWolghbC3-uTdrsG2EVm4WkQ9al_UanZs6RzB6WeysThj12Qf0_lIyzPREoLI9veHw7Sd1HQcOrpTyZJtiuAJR7aLsseu94/s1600/marchelo2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtw8uiUUqXkMHVqqaau-QQj8a0igTlKoPaERPVMLeufoF0zWolghbC3-uTdrsG2EVm4WkQ9al_UanZs6RzB6WeysThj12Qf0_lIyzPREoLI9veHw7Sd1HQcOrpTyZJtiuAJR7aLsseu94/s320/marchelo2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684977890024397922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:100%;" ></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" >I hope I exported the right dot gains... argh...</span>Marchelo Verahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05270838029647142273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582626007460497916.post-70279737363617059652011-11-24T10:12:00.000-08:002011-11-24T11:22:31.917-08:00Intermedia Collaboration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJFeKl9DsDnjTkjhOCR9FZ2DOd1HUc8Fy0JyDuvOxgeoAJGqeTQk0vp6SQnqmch13XToWr8S3JM9UvXCpXpu4qNI6R7YyQbs5I0UZiseLBtPec3Rxoss344zZmpCdMMKnaKruHxeYmHCM/s1600/Marchelo_Vera36.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJFeKl9DsDnjTkjhOCR9FZ2DOd1HUc8Fy0JyDuvOxgeoAJGqeTQk0vp6SQnqmch13XToWr8S3JM9UvXCpXpu4qNI6R7YyQbs5I0UZiseLBtPec3Rxoss344zZmpCdMMKnaKruHxeYmHCM/s320/Marchelo_Vera36.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678644355941103794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAltVdlf0ZBymVQ3KvId2XvgUE_uXGN3ott25IWSEuUmp7Q9t0h_X2ChUrDudWaPDqe09V8U0uNtu0FrObfO2AbKv2vNHCmEq-9oJd5tOT6xWspH_JPg2SVSeXGCQi2Hyhyphenhyphen8Mqh_F4b8/s1600/Marchelo_Vera35.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAltVdlf0ZBymVQ3KvId2XvgUE_uXGN3ott25IWSEuUmp7Q9t0h_X2ChUrDudWaPDqe09V8U0uNtu0FrObfO2AbKv2vNHCmEq-9oJd5tOT6xWspH_JPg2SVSeXGCQi2Hyhyphenhyphen8Mqh_F4b8/s320/Marchelo_Vera35.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678644355838446834" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >It's been a while since I have had time to sit down...</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >Most recently I worked on a collaborative project with Jon Fila from Computer Graphics Design, together we created a 3D dimensional form that utilized software such as Cinema 4D and Maya. Having been around RIT for several years I was able to get the advice of the Industrial Design professors and Rick the studio manager. We were pointed in the right direction and encouraged to use their 3D printing facility which was a great experience! The particular printer we used created an additive form consisting of starch. Using this method and particular resolution output transferred the unique pattern associated with the mathematical side of our geometric form. While some may not appreciate this "low res" artifact of the process, I really embrace it and find it fitting. It hints towards and adds to the dialogue of Intermedia artworks...</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >This experience naturally had its ups and downs, to be fair we were asking a lot from ourselves having never created anything in glass before. The structure at RIT is great for the most part, I found many of the professors quite encouraging! However, school program outlines and restrictions can become very frustrating when trying to work with interdisciplinary ideas. Our project took on many forms and came a long way from our original sketches, regarding both aesthetics and concept. It was imperative to be respectful and open minded when creative differences came up. Everyone has their own distinct background and opinion that stems from their individual experiences, insight, and skill set. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >In general, I would say that it is very good for an initial idea to change overtime as it demonstrates progress and addresses new challenges that may arise when taking into account the limitations of mediums and/or learning curve of a specialized skill. Through the Glass department at the School for American Crafts we were able to put our molds in the kiln and were assisted with the pouring of glass which took approximately two weeks for the first initial batch of our intermedia sculpture. The restrictions that apply to non majors in the Crafts School really forced us to balance the mold, wax pouring, cold working, and fabrication between various other departments. This project would really not have been possible without the access and assistance from Computer Graphics Design, Glass, Sculpture, and New Media programs. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >Part of my original concept for the project was to use geometric shapes that would transform into a balanced sculpture with cohesive and abstract elements within its design. The surrounding negative space around and in between the individual/combined glass forms would work together through visual line and spacial relationships. These </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >relationships</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" > were planned to activate the sculpture's overall mass and form... which could be changed organically by rearranging the components/modules (various glass orb structures) throughout the work to create new possibilities. In a perfect world, we would have had access to the glass facilities and the time needed to create an environment with suspended orbs and geometric forms that echoed and emphasized the primary sculpture.</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;" >The projection was another trouble shooting issue that had to be worked out... Due to the varying light in different surrounding environments, the distance and angle of the projection had to be changed. We created a controlled environment using a simple box solution that helped with keeping the distance of the light from the projector consistent. We then uploaded a video, which also has varying potential. </span> </span>Marchelo Verahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05270838029647142273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582626007460497916.post-45621204945446727502011-11-01T10:11:00.001-07:002011-11-01T10:52:21.953-07:003d Printing & Glass Casting<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMN4S3srdIk2WyyxKQY26uSB60OEZSPuTpEE26K9wZDO0eO0wo_FiPpq7gCr7VAgXAOxeER9AQhoK_oeicZWv0_uQjDnre3N0Q7M-HlalLo6b2gqxK2_uTzuguteuTBvY9fMqdKpR4SYM/s1600/marchelovera.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMN4S3srdIk2WyyxKQY26uSB60OEZSPuTpEE26K9wZDO0eO0wo_FiPpq7gCr7VAgXAOxeER9AQhoK_oeicZWv0_uQjDnre3N0Q7M-HlalLo6b2gqxK2_uTzuguteuTBvY9fMqdKpR4SYM/s320/marchelovera.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670076216034871794" border="0" /></a><br />There has been a lot of research and interest in the development and exploration of the 3D printing realm right now. I had read an article talking about the future personal 3D printers and their price range of approximately $1,000 US (Perhaps 6 months ago.) Alan Singer most recently tuned me into the following exciting resource: http://3dhomemade.blogspot.com I was not aware of Junior Veloso but it's great to see the dialogue that is going on right now, these are very exciting times!Marchelo Verahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05270838029647142273noreply@blogger.com1
