Art And Code Festival, looking at artist and designers who work with digital tools and crafty approaches
Kelli made a Doomscrolling kit, Im going to print out the Twitter example then make an example for my project. Love the line that Kelli said she doesn't completely understand how the doomscroller works.
-Looking at ordinary materials and seeking out possibilities hidden in plain view
-Kellie said she never had more than the 1 year plan for her career, her hands find a way to make it work.
-Kellie worked on pieces to make her voice heard in protests such as Occupy Wall Street and BLM
-Kellie is inspired by 2 brothers, Frank Oppenheimer and Robert Oppenheimer
-Frank started The Exploratorium San Francisco. The museum is a public learning laboratory exploring the world through science, art, and human perception.
In the pursuit of curiosity.
-The other, Robert was credited as being one of the fathers of the atomic bomb, for his role in the Manhattan project.
In the pursuit of power.
-Kelli Used to work at the exploratorium and often thought about the brothers and the different ways you can approach life
-Frees us to what we should be making and straight to exploring.
-Design is the perfect tool to do this. Design only cares about what's supposed to work. Doesn't require fancy tools.
-When experimenting Kelli often thinks about Mary Oliver.
-Try to let my astonishment lead me
-Kellie made a lowfi paper record player for her friends wedding invitation. The record had images on it too. Incase the record didn't work some interest. The process was tested and tested but could fall back on that.

-Following on from record, why are we drawn to low fi things in a world full of so much digital developments?
-We have honed our visual skills over thousands of years and we are more drawn to that kind of data. We like touch and friction etc. We are sometimes embarrassed to talk about these feelings but it's very important to out reactions to things.
-Hard wired to have very deep exchanges to how we interface with the physical world.
-Analogue was always a background and a link between our need for this and processes. Eg. Tuning in a radio
-Kelli started writing books that need physical interaction to work.
-What can paper do?
-This is a Camera, book- Makes a real camera pop up in the book
-This is a Planetarium, book - Concepts of time, calendars, sound, how the stars in the sky work
-We might consider looking at non Western cultures when looking at technical resolutions. NASA looking at origami for satellite functions Miura-Ori
-Dismissing knowledge systems based on craft.
-Kelli is working with Letterform Archive this year on projects and a book which are both at prototype stages.
-Book focuses on metal type to screen type development
-Essays follow on notion that type is ever changing and questions the aesthetics
-Super ellipse. Lots of typefaces of 60s are built on this. Was a post ww2 invention. Straight lines and circular lines both have drawbacks and this settle of both. Made its way into products and then type. Vietnam War talks then used super ellipse shape to shape the table for discussions so did not show any hierarchy
-Function that my eyes can follow and connects my human senses
-Moire prototypes, making the patterns magnify
-Kelli tries to do shadow, texture, real sounds all the natural things that a computer can't do and then use a computer for the editing and tasks it can do well
-Obsessed with idea of craft materials being physically programmed as below
