The Museum of What’s Left

Joline Blais
Located behind the IMRC building on campus, the Burro Project trailer is a participatory museum where visitors become collaborators—constructing the collection by bringing an item to contribute that has been “left behind.” By this we mean any interpretation of that phrase the contributors care to imagine. The items then will be displayed in the community “curated” collection. In keeping with its function as an alternative to the conventional museum, we also invite the viewer, after leaving an item, to TAKE an item, creating a flow not a part of the traditional museum. We will open Monday, April 27th starting at 10 and throughout the week, culminating in a reception on Friday, May 1st from 3-6:00 pm. We invite anyone and everyone to stop by, and bring what’s left behind. We are aiming for as many collaborators as we can get, a flow of left behind treasure coming in and going…

Mark your calendars for Friday afternoon, May 1, to attend the annual New Media Night display of capstone projects. This year the event goes from 3:00-5:00pm at IMRC Center, home of New Media, Art, and the Fab Lab. This is an exciting opportunity to see where the major in New Media can take you, and for seniors to show the leading edge of their work. You’re invited to see our freshest crop of capstones, demo projects from selected undergraduate research, eat some delicious refreshments, and tour the cutting-edge audiovisual and 3-D fabrication facilities in IMRC. Reminder: this is a required event from all New Media students! See you there!

Caitlin Trafton

Joline Blais
Caitlin is a graduating senior in the New Media department, and she hopes to use hide and seek or places like it to help promote her capstone. She is working on a website that will help link seafood consumers to the actual source of their food. Individuals that harvest lobster, mussels, clams and shrimp. And helping her out, is her African Grey Parrot, Logan (who can be seen perched somewhere in the IMRC almost every day). Places like Hide and Seek on campus can prove as a great vessel to promote the good work she is doing. Caitlin has a permit to dig clams that she wants to take, steam and serve as samples to passer-by. This creatively will get the word out about her capstone as well as serve as a device for people to remember her. She is one of the many students who is taking our major…

Homework – Devon McNerney

Joline Blais
My first assignment in this class was doing research on the pop up art show and possible host locations. I speculated that the IMRC Black Space would be an excellent space to host this event.   I have also worked on styling and formatting several different versions of the Portal 2 menu system, including both physical and digital diagrams. Lastly I have created a NMD courseflow chart using Adobe Illustrator. This image is to be featured on the curriculum page.
