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.

I Shot Andy Warhol

I'm not a big fan of Andy Warhol, so I don't know a lot about his history. I think I might of read the SCUM manifesto before for a different class, but the name Valerie Solanas didn't stick with me.

I think the thing that impressed me most about the movie was how it portrayed her life in a neutral manner. The director wasn't trying to make her out as a hero of feminism or a villain against Warhol. She was just a opinionated and outspoken girl with mental problems, and that really came across in the movie.
