TODAY’S WHERE’S WALDO
CONC The concept of the project is making a modern 21st century Where’s Waldo. The original Where’s Waldo consists of a series of detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally hidden in the group. Instead of using detailed double-page illustration, I am adopting the idea of Yayoi Kusama’s “Fireflies on the Water” to set the background, and setting the light elements in the background to blink randomly. Yayoi Kusama’s artworks present a theme of organized chaos, which is what I am attempting to portray through this project. Her use of repeated shapes and elements represent smplified version of the detailed illustraion of the original Where’s Waldo. I am making Waldo’s faces peak out of random spots in the background image, and the faces will pop when they are clicked. Recreation of Where’s Waldo in a 3-dimensional surface using interactive elements is a successful way of reminiscing something that has been outdated, but that is still loved by people and familiar with people.

RATION
THE KALEIDOSCOPIC FASHIO
ON SPECTACULAR
The retailer installed dynamic LED lights into each of the 155 rooms on the south facade. Over 60 dancers outfitted with items from Target’s new fall clothing line preformed to a synchronized music program. From the ground, the light show looked pretty insane and the Standard served as a perfect foundation for the show. Especially with the hotel’s history of exhibitionism. http://vimeo.com/15514121
