Shall Make, Shall Be Panel/Q&A 1

presented by Andy Malone, Cherisse Datu, Golan Levin, Lexa Walsh, Vi Trinh

How do you see your work dif­fer­ent­ly in the con­text of the full group pre­sen­ta­tion? Where has it tak­en you?

arts​.codes (Melissa F. Clarke and Margaret Schedel): V.erses
Amendment X: Separation of Powers and Federalism

presented by Margaret Schedel, Melissa F Clarke

When we were devel­op­ing the con­cept for v.erses, we were par­tic­u­lar­ly struck by the final clause of the Tenth Amendment, which reads ​“are reserved to the States respec­tive­ly, or to the peo­ple.” This unam­bigu­ous­ly reserved all non-delegated pow­er to its orig­i­nal source, the people.

Ryan Kuo: Father Figure
Amendment IX: Additional Fundamental Rights of People

presented by Ryan Kuo

The ques­tion for me is, how do you know your rights? Where does your mind go when it gets a hold of those rights? The Ninth is say­ing there’s a writ­ten space here on this piece of paper, and there’s an unwrit­ten space some­where beyond.

Danielle Isadora Butler: Evolving Standards of Decency
Amendment VIII: Excessive Bails, Fines, or Punishment

presented by Danielle Isadora Butler

Justice is so often envi­sioned by the metaphor of scales and bal­ance. I’m mak­ing a gim­baled mar­ble labyrinth. The gim­bal allows for bal­ance, but it is set by the user. 

Broken Ghost (Arnab Chakravarty, Ian McNeely) + Moaw! (MeeNa Ko): Verbal Gymnastics
Amendment VII: Rights in Civil Cases

presented by Arnab Chakravarty, Ian McNeely, MeeNa Ko

We basi­cal­ly kind of dou­bled down on this idea that the game had to have the per­for­mance of the truth at the core of it. So we elim­i­nat­ed the spo­ken poet­ry because in the per­for­mance of the truth the words don’t real­ly mat­ter at all.

Peter Bradley: NOMOLOGOS
Amendment VI: Rights of Defendants in Criminal Trial

presented by Peter Bradley

The con­ceit is that you’re a ball of ink on the nation­al mall and you’re try­ing to get to the Supreme Courthouse in order to sort of argue your case. 

Shawn Pierre: ___ vs ___
Amendment V: Due Process, Self-Incrimination, Eminent Domain

presented by Shawn Pierre

I’m real­ly real­ly inter­est­ed in see­ing what hap­pens when two peo­ple who know each oth­er real­ly well start to play. Because the peo­ple you know well, you get to know their tells when they tell a lie, or at least maybe you think you do.

Vi Trinh: Cyber Soldiers in Cyber Houses
Amendment III: The Housing of Soldiers

presented by Vi Trinh

What struck me first about the Third Amendment is that it’s the only part of the Constitution that deals direct­ly with the rela­tion­ship between the rights of indi­vid­u­als and the mil­i­tary in both peace and war.

Andy Malone: Standoff
Amendment II: The Right to Bear Arms

presented by Andy Malone

I was drawn to the con­cept of fin­ger guns as a metaphor. I also did­n’t want to use actu­al guns in this project. That was sort of a chal­lenge for myself, to not make this about shoot­ing things or make this about overt violence.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Stephen Wolff
presented by Stephen Wolff

Anything that is vital and living and growing, there's always going to be turbulence. It's always going to be going off in many directions, several of which are bound to be wrong, some of which are going to be right. So I think the Internet is still a work in progress. And that's a very good thing. Read more →

Design and the Green New Deal
presented by Billy Fleming

I think that Damian asked me here in large part to talk about this essay from last spring in Places Journal that begins pretty timidly with this line, I don't know when the myth of designers as climate saviors began, but I know that it's time to kill it. Which as you can imagine got me invited to lots of dinner parties at Harvard. Read more →

Working on ENIAC: The Lost Labors of the Information Age
presented by Mark Priestley, Thomas Haigh

The largest part of the ENIAC team by far were the peo­ple that were actu­ally build­ing the thing. And it’s inter­est­ing they’ve been for­got­ten by his­tory, because although their job titles were wire­men, tech­ni­cians, and assem­blers, being a busi­ness his­to­rian I looked up the account­ing records, and some­times they spell out the pay­roll. You sud­denly see all these women’s names like Ruth, Jane, Alice, Dorothy, Caroline, Eleanor show­ing up. Read more →
