Gustave Courbet's "Origin of the World" (1866) got the election season treatment yesterday, when design studio ThoughtMatter unveiled a mural at the corner of Waverly and Flushing Avenues in Brooklyn as a commentary on the reproductive rights at stake in this election.

Wayfinding involves designing of a navigation system that will be used in a built environment. UVMW did a project for an established music school in Poland - the school was in search of new visual information system.

Rhys had just been so angry and he hadn’t meant to be. 

He had worked hard to work with Daniel for the last few weeks. Get him repaired the best that he can than what he had come in from the Detroit Police Department. Overall just communicate with him and the man had the nerve to tell him he wasn’t making progress with the task he was assigned when he was probably the most sympathetic person in the room that could work with him. He felt like he was getting to know Daniel well and was enjoying his time with the android and to be told that he wasn’t doing his job well just made him so... so...!!!

So Rhys had expressed his displeasure and stormed off into the building to calm his nerves. He jabbed at the elevator to take him to the highest floor and that’s where he found himself on the roof. Surrounded by the chill air of the night. Rhys paced and yelled into the night air his frustration. The outer wall of the rooftop stairwell may have been punched before he sat down and slid against the wall and buried his head into his hands.

Hearing Daniel’s voice gave him a start. Head shot up from his hands and he smacked his head against the wall behind him that lead to the roof door. Rhys hissed a little before rubbing the back of his head with a small groan. That was going to be sore a little later with how hard it felt like he hit it. He turned to look up at the android for a moment before sighing.

“I’m alright. I just needed to leave. Just... leave and get somewhere to clear my head that wasn’t inside at all. This was the first place I could think of. Though maybe the ground floor would have been a better though I think I like the height better.”

Rhys sighed as he pushed himself up from the ground, rubbing the back of his neck out of habit. Just a nervous tick.

“I appreciate the concern though. I hope my little outburst at my colleague didn’t make you think bad of me. I don’t usually let myself get so emotional like that. But how’d you think to find me up here? Or get all the way up here without seeing you for that matter... Nevermind. Not my most important priority right now. But thank you.”

Rhys smiled at the android and looked around for a moment. It was dark and it was quiet with how secluded the CyberLife tower was in comparison to the nearby city.

“Do you... just want to sit up here for a little while? I don’t feel like going back to work quite yet.”

LIC Local (Compass)

Organizations: Long Island City Partnership + Citiesense + ThoughtMatter  

Grant Amount: $100,000

Year: 5

Neighborhood: Long Island City

Borough: Queens

The Challenge:

LIC can be hard to navigate, which makes it challenging for visitors and residents to explore local cultural and community assets. LIC needs a comprehensive signage and wayfinding system that will orient people to where they are, inform them about what is close by, lead them along a path to their destination, and provide opportunities for engaging with their community.

The Big Idea:

LIC Local is a smart signage system that orients people to LIC through street markers and a web app. The logo is designed so that all signage can orient the pedestrians using cardinal directions. Each sign also includes an embedded QR code, which connects the user to the digital platform and the map.

The branding for Witzig uses a decidedly un-hip font whose stubby ascenders and descenders mimic the body proportions of dachshunds. Now, that’s a purposeful font selection. Look closely at the “g”.

Witzig is German for witty; it’s an online community for dachshund lovers. Work by ThoughtMatter; review at Brand New.

Leo wants to take @thoughtmattered and protect him and make everything okay for him again.

It's okay Daniel. It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to be broken down. We can rise from the ashes, both of us. We can be great again. 😭

We deserve better.

@thoughtmattered Rhys has declared it is time for a movie X

Rhys honestly wasn’t sure if Daniel would take him up on the offer considering, well, everything that had gone on. That he would trust him to even take him up on it. But he thought it would be fun. He felt like the android had deserved something nice to happen to him and he was sure that he wouldn’t be missed at his desk all that much. If it was really important they could always call him. But he could make himself disappear off to other tasks and not be noticed until later. Not that hard really.

Besides what Fowler or the others didn’t know won’t hurt them.

Rhys was rather happy when he heard that Daniel would join him in his little movie going adventure and it made the detective light up. A smile coming to his face as he clasped his hands together in delight.

“Well, it’s a little bit of an older movie but I’ve always liked the movie Treasure Planet. An interesting take to such an old story. Treasure island but in space. Now let’s get you down from there. There’s another evidence room used for watching more filmed evidence so there is a projector and a big screen and everything. Not really used considering how mobile everything is. So I don’t think we’ll be disturbed.”

Humming he moved closer towards Daniel and started to reach behind him to not only take him down but to also catch him when he was released.

“I would just like to say, before I release this, I apologize for how awkward this might get.”

With that Rhys released Daniel from his hold on the evidence rack and cauld immediately feel the android’s weight in his arms. The detective stumbled back with an ‘oof’ as arms wrapped around him tightly. Rhys took a moment to steady himself before adjusting Daniel into a more suitable carry. He was actually glad for the lack of limbs despite how horrible that might seem. It made him easier to carry and to move as he brought both of them to the filming room.

Rhys took the next few moments to situate the android in as comfortable of a manner as he could in one chair. Having had this sort of planned out with a blanket and everything. He thought it was mroe fun to watch a movie all comfortable wrapped up in a blanket. And after a bit more fiddling around of getting Daniel situated and getting the movie to play he sat himself down in another chair happily.

“I hope you’ll like it.”

what’s your tragic flaw Tagged by stole it from @thoughtmattered Tagging: steal it and say I tagged ya

Stardust got: Impulsiveness

You don't think before you act, or get mad, or even speak. Before the notion has finished forming itself in your brain, you rush to make it real, and every nanosecond that it takes is agony. Good meals take time. Successful careers take years of hard work. The things most worth having require patience. You need to work on your long game. So relax and take it slow for once.
