Artist Research: Jeffrey Shaw

     Jeffrey Shaw is a new media artist and researcher from Melbourne, Australia. He was born in 1944. From 1965 to 2002, he lived in various places such as London, Milan, and Amsterdam.  In 2003, he was appointed director of iCinema Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. Since 2009, he has been the Dean of School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong.
     My favorite work of his is Divine Comedy AR. There are a row of marble canvases along a wall. At first glance, the piece seems like just a collection of marble. But when you look at them through an iPad, the marble comes alive. The marble panels transform into spaces in which 3D animated characters move around and do various things.

We grew up in a town five minutes from there, so we have plenty of fond memories going on amusement park rides, playing mini golf, and eating ice cream.

We all have place from our childhood that evokes happy memories. One of those places for me is Ocean City. I sojourned home for Thanksgiving, and I wanted to show you all a piece of my home. Instructions: 1.) Turn on computer and projector. 2.) Open the Mad Mapper file "FMX 463 Final." The video will loop. 3.) Play the "Sojourn" audio file. An iteration has completed when the song pl...

Project 1 Artist Statement

     Everyone lives somewhere. Whether it is a house, an apartment, a dorm room, or a cardboard box, everyone has some place to go to at the end of the day. This place is familiar. It is reassuring and comforting. This space is so familiar, we often take it for granted.      How aware of your surroundings are you? Can you describe your home in detail to someone who has never been there? Would you be able to tell if something in your home was missing or altered? If you could, how would you react? I want to explore these questions with this project. I want to alter the everyday events that occur in a house in order to make people appreciate and be more aware of what they have.
