Altered Book of the Self

What is your opinion of combining technology and the human body as she did in the video?

I don't know how I feel about combining technology and the human body. The results of her work are both unsettling and beautiful. From an artistic perspective I love her work and the idea of exploring the human body's aesthetic potential with technology. But from a societal point of view, I am not too eager to adopt such a style for myself.

What is your opinion of combining a media arts and science project with your own body?

It could be a lot of fun to do. I really like interactive art exhibits and with my body I may be able to create my own.

How similar were other students' ideas to each other?

Many of us had similar ideas, with different twists on them. But there were a few really creative ones.

How similar were other students' ideas to your own?


I would say my ideas were closely related to my peers. But I did have a few original ideas.

What stood out to you?


What stood out to me was the power of simple ideas. The "what if" format leads to simple solutions to decide what to do for the assignment.

What is the purpose of looking at each others' posts?


To see where we are creatively, and where our classmates are. As well as to explore different ways of thinking about the same issue.

How will you change this book?

I changed the book by doodling on a page that stood out to me. The page was about building confidence for a speech. I decorated the page with words and sketches depicting my emotional reflection on public speaking. 

How will this book change you? 



It has made me think about myself, and others that aren't naturally good at public speaking. It made me more accepting of my soft spoken nature.
