At a university in Buffalo, campus planners held off on making paved walkways between buildings until after the first winter, using snow to record the students’ paths between buildings. The most commonly trodden routes became permanent walkways. I like this approach because it frames the campus plan as an unwitting collaboration among the students. It strings together seemingly separate coincidences, laying pavement as affirmation. This notion of unwitting collaboration is something I would like to further explore.

Oliver Laric strung these youtube videos together to show how the vernacular of hip hop creates a community within the much much larger world of youtube. He then put the video back on youtube as a sort of ethnographic record.

We all know what it is to track and to be tracked.
Like many people, I feel the need to record and track the things that interest me or inform my work, ideas, and way of being in the world.
I was raised in suburban America by two immigrant parents. My father was born in Greece during World War II to a family and nation decimated by war. My mother was raised in El Salvador under the premise that God was the central figure in all matters. And as a child, my parents moved the family away from a civil war that had begun to tear apart the idea of peace in El Salvador.
Despite having parents who were very different from one another, contradictions in social orders have always baffled me and continue to do so. Furthermore, the current political leadership in Washington has been a failure on the issues I hold dearly. In effect, these events have caused me a need to articulate local and global issues in which I can empathize with.
I’m also a designer working in a professional field that is based on tracking things. For example, History itself is an archive of material and that material can be said to be graphic design. For this reason I have been interested in the works of those who track, collect and map information into diary type systems or track the conditions of power, social orders, religion, race and politics.

The journal Lies of our Times during its short run served as a watchdog for the New York Times and other major U.S. media outlets. Touting itself as “a journal to set the record straight” it clued-in the public to the distortions and censorship prevalent in the media.

Artists and designers have found numerous ways to explore an interest in the mimetic.

Bernd & Hilla Becher’s typology photos attempt to archive repeated architectural forms and structures. In some cases inspired by the Bechers, many artists have used photography to record families of objects, and to construct their own archives of thematic photographic subjects.

I attempted to record the general morale of the studio by developing a program in which individually colored light threads were assigned to each of my fellow colleagues. A message would arrive inside their inbox that they could either choose to answer or avoid. By clicking on one of the two reply links, users were given the ability to change the form of their thread. If someone chose not to participate his or her line remained level for neutrality. Together, the colored threads began to weave spontaneous, collaborative patterns that changed throughout the day.

Three years after broadcasting the Arecibo message, nasa launched a far different summary of the diversity of life on Earth. The Voyager spacecraft carried a record encoded with hundreds of sounds and images, from thunder to whalesong. Unlike Arecibo, the Voyager record did not attempt to say everything at the risk of communicating nothing. It told a few stories, fully, suggesting that the whole can be more truly expressed through carefully selected parts. One of those parts was “Dark Was the Night, Cold was the Ground” the blues song you hear now.
