Welcome to the altbods blog

We use this blog as a resource to discuss the notion of "alternative bodies" in the marketplace and how to design for them/for us. We critique Euro-centric ideology pressed into design and research methods to make room for "alternative bodies" as the focus of artistic creation.

This blog represents the thoughts and art work of our studio class -- by students in architecture, design, illustration, sculpture, graphic and visual arts. We are a hybrid group with many talents.

Alternative...ness

This past week when thinking about the ideas of alternative bodies, and what it is and what it means to design for an alternative body, the idea of interaction becomes impertinent. Stripes are a way to represent the opposite of society or craft or objects. The "normal" versus the "alternative". What is interesting to think about is the natural distancing that people create in public spaces. The alternative body is made through the spacing and movement of people, and stripes are like a visual diagram of this idea.
