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.

Do people ignore the homeless more than any other stranger?

I have no clue, It is provably like that for some. Since last class thought i have been paying close attention to the way i act when i see homeless people and i don't think it really makes a difference.
I give the same attention to homeless than people who seem to have an actual home, NO difference.
Although i am more aware of homeless that i am with "regular people"
i haven't figure out why yet.

I think I have mentioned this in class last week that I realized I tend to be more alert when there's homeless people around me and I would try to avoid eye contact, steer away from my "original" route if they are in my way. I still don't have a good explanation for my insecurity but I feel like talking things out make me question my own thinking and attitudes towards them.
