Future Carriers of Our Past, Paulina Sierra @ Digital Meets Handmade
Over the past twenty years, a seismic shift has occurred in jewelry design and manufacturing. As digital design, digital model-making, and prototyping have elbowed their way into common practice, they have proven themselves to be both invaluable and disruptive to the jewelry profession. Bringing together the perspectives of artisans, educators, students, mavens from the realm of fine jewelry, renegades from the Wild West of the maker movement, and innovators from the digital engineering sector, Digital Meets Handmade addresses a wide range of topics in jewelry design, delving into the broad conversation around how digital technologies and virtuoso handcraft can coalesce in jewelry as wearable art. While one might expect a collision of cultures—”fine jewelry” craftspeople versus digital engineers—the result instead is a dazzling array of critical thinking, with stunning illustrations that foretell the future of jewelry.

Im·media·cy, Multimedia Multitasking and the Intra-active Experience
ABSTRACT
The fast-paced evolution of technology has prevented us from noticing how interdependency of media permeates the multimodal environment that we feed, and which, at the same time, informs and ultimately shapes us. This paper explores how different online entertainment platforms, news media, and app developers are trying to create new ways to showcase multiple mediums for the ‘real-time’ crowd, tools to foster multitasking experiences, and finally robust applets that will ultimately feed and shape their environment’s intra-actions (Barad, 2007). The media examples provided were based on the premise of showcasing, first, split narratives and interactive elements integrated into single platforms sometimes running at the same time (some of them in real-time); secondly, effective autopoietic systems parallel to each other to optimize time; and third, a sympoietic, evolutionary informatic, and human customized ecosystem that will depend on each other in order to evaluate the potential of how every aesthetic interaction can be regarded as a ‘service’.

RISD Digital Media Graduate Student Journal 2009 / Eye Venus
ABSTRACT
This Journal brings together papers from students from the class of 2009 as they complete their final year of the MFA graduate program in Digital+Media at the Rhode Island School of Design. A wide range of topics is covered, reflecting the inter-disciplinarity and breadth of student work in the department. The contributions are grouped along the key themes Form and Material, Digital Aesthetics, Cultural Connections, Site and Performance. They aim to communicate the specificity of the digital to a broader art and media audience, to provide a vivid documentation of the work and the process, and to situate the work in the wider art and media context, including contemporary and historic developments. This Journal is edited by Frauke Behrendt and Teri Rueb. Available at Amazon.

The Graduate Student Journal was published by the Department of Digital+Media, Rhode Island School of Design; First Edition (May 5, 2009).
