#UW Bothell

[seattlefactsijustmadeup]

UW Bothell is home to the largest flock of crows in the country. They're lovingly tended to by a wise old Norwegian man with one eye and an obsession with the number 9.

I guess the reason I don't like talking about my day at work that much currently is that, invariably, when I'm at the dinner table and I get asked how my day was, my sister lectures me or provokes me saying "So have you talked to admissions about going back to school" and I'm just like trying to ease away from that, because I could use less people staring at me from across the dinner table utterly disappointed in me

I used to live in Seattle when I was younger and let me tell you this:

you got the crows right. there are indeed a lot of crows in Seattle.

i was also re-reading chapter 3 and i kinda wanted to drop-kick phil -for the way he treated leon- out of that broken window myself, i have to say- 🤣

the crows at pn3u in the comic are based on the crows at uw bothell! in the fall/winter, there will be thousands and thousands of crows flying across the sky to hang out on that campus, its kind of intimidating if youve never seen it before. we have a lot of crows in general though, yeah.

(and dont we all)

A Production of A Lens

As an artist, the creation of an academic and innovative lens is pivotal to the creation of my work. My lens was best achieved via the development of both my creative thinking and critical thought, an important learning goal within the Interdisciplinary Art program at UW Bothell. The establishment of this lens comes from allowing myself to see beyond my understanding of the world, either by identifying my own assumption or assumptions of the world. Within my time in the Interdisciplinary Arts program, I grew my lens by beginning to unravel central questions surrounding my identity and influence on the world. In the end, by creating a lens through which I could filter my interpretations, analysis, argumentation, evaluation, reflection, etc through, I was able to push myself to dig deeper into my creative and critical thought. This can be seen via the production of two pieces, ��epaR/erutluC Participatory Performance Game” and “Nude Descending”. 

Within “epaR/erutluC Partcipatory Performance Game” I first began to stretch my creative legs. Inspired by a prompt within an Interdiscplinary Art workshop course that utilized Speculative Design (a discipline that encourages the use of alternative histories), I set about to create a work surrounding an alternative future without rape culture. Inspired by Alexis Pauline Gumb’s piece “Evidence” in “Octavia’s Brood”, this piece forced me to contemplate deeply the different perspectives and reasons why rape culture exists. It forced me to think about creative ways of portraying my critical perspective of rape culture. This was important, as it helped me build my “lens” via learning to both critique and inspire my audience to evaluate their assumptions surrounding problematic subject matter. 

As I moved on in my educational career, I wanted to deepen my lens by exploring critical and creative thought as it related to abstract ideas. I had always struggled with this type of work as I couldn’t grasp how abstraction related to interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and reflection of art. In one of my Interactive Media Design courses, I was given an opportunity to face this challenge with my piece “Nude Descending”. Inspired by Doug Aitken’s use of motion, space, time, and sequence, I utilized these abstract concepts to be examined via a video of still images. These concepts inspired me to ask myself a lot of questions such as, “What is motion?” and “How is space different within a video?” These questions opened my mind to think of abstract concepts as tools rather than constraints, expanding my creative thinking.

To end, my time in University has provided me opportunities to deepen and probe my creative and critical thinking. I have grown and developed a lens in which I can not only use to filter works and experiences, by my own thoughts and ideas. This affords me a perspective to analyze, critique, evaluate and reflect on the world and myself, an essential aspect of an artist. I am able to take myself to the next level as an artist, learner, and person. Through this portfolio process, I have begun to see that these skills and this journey are life long items of iteration, rather than one-off skills.

A Continuing Conversation

When I started my journey at UW Bothell, I was intimidated by research and inquiry as learning goals. I felt like there wasn’t a bridge between the academic side of me, who was passionate about research questions, methods, and sources, and the creative side of me that loved organic exploration. But as I delved into research and inquiry via an interdisciplinary lens, I was opened to a world where research became more than long-form papers, but images, art, and design. Projects such as “Kaleidoscope of Abstraction”, a gif and flarf poetry piece surrounding remix art culture, and a Community-Based Learning and Research project involving the experience design of the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, were two major influences of this journey.

In “Kaleidoscope of Abstraction” I explored research, inquiry, and conversation via Remix Culture. Remix culture is built on the work of others, and its core method is to iterate work via transformation into a new medium or form. I wanted to add more to the conversation but struggled with the question I wanted to ask. Speaking with my Professor, they suggested I research other artists, such as Christian Marclay and his piece “The Clock” and Aaron Valdez and his piece “Dissolve” as a means of inspiration. As I looked into these pieces, I found my creativity kick into overdrive. It was the first moment I saw myself as an artist with the ability to further the legacies that the artist that inspired me had started. It forced me to ask questions surrounding ownership, contributing to the debates surrounding ownership and intellectual property. I saw that the more I participated in these conversations, the more I began to position my work and think of its legacy.

Reflecting on the impact that research could have on inspiration, I saw an opportunity to go beyond normal design research within my Community-Based Learning and Research course surrounding design. On top of conducting ethnographic research, (conducting surveys, taking notes, and coding) I pushed my practice as a human-centered designer and used co-design to facilitate ideas for my design from the museum staff. This allowed me to position my work within the literature of human-centered design, and add to the conversation around the participation of the people within the design process. I saw our work as an extension of not only our relationship with our community partner but an extension of interdisciplinary research. The resulting report created an experience of our research, rather than a static presentation. It left the museum feeling inspired by where they could take their visitor experience, and left me feeling like I had an impact on my community and the field of design.

In the end, my journey through my coursework has allowed me to see research and inquiry beyond stagnant papers. Being able to see research as part of a journey, and not a destination within a project has allowed me to breathe life into the interdisciplinary nature of my perspective. The questions that began as starting points for projects, became pivotal ideas within my creative process, pushing me to see my work not only as extending research but the conversation of art and design.

Bothell, Texas, and CT. All were grown using DNA from uw and others for lineages from to. Who decided to open and they said the pike place chowder said it was Jeff but he wasn't Imperium employee and imperium extra clone for ex sector of university of Washington gorilla park. Now you guys are saying I'm getting keyed because I'm exposing your trade?

What else? Gina died and so did Katrina so that makes you alien and species mix.

Just remember, all upstairs downstairs of your genomics and species are all watching.

Don't say I or Imperium as a whole didn't do anything for any specific race genomics clusters.

You will always need something fr me and I will only need my stuff back with fees and penalities.

Watch "John Wick" on YouTube

I'm not hiring John wicks because this is Imperium property. Before it was earth and parallel earth which didn't exist until I was born so you can't speak about it.

Also, fuck you bull dog connection all the way to here star citizen aliens. You have no rights here. You will be billed all places of your kind.
