WK04: writing bios

We started writing our bios today, first by interviewing a partner and writing their bio, and then by taking inspiration from Andy Warhol, and writing an antagonistic version of our own bios. Here is the latter:

Design is not my first language. I am a recovering artist and student of art history who left the art world and pure academia for what appeared to be less self-absorbed pastures. I am suspicious of “ubiquitous” technologies, I am allergic to empathy, and I prefer imagination over speculation. I am not here to solve your problem, I’m only moderately curious about the world, I don’t “dabble” in anything, and I don’t travel to new places just to experience new things because I’m not a white man. IDEO’s neo-colonialist model of human-centered design makes me want to vomit, so I guess I will have to find work elsewhere.

We have invented a solution that brings fun and education together. By taking elements from gaming, we motivate students to read stories, and work on their writing skills.

Fabelene is an online websites where users can start and finish other peoples stories. Students will be able to create alternative story lines, alternative endings and with more involvement with the website, students experience new benefits on the website.

Teachers can also assign readings accustomed to each students level and students are able to respond online at their own pace.

‘You start the story, others finish it’

At Critical Practices, we like to play with possible meanings for our acronym, CPI. Take Collaborative Projects Inc. (aka Colab), an artist group and non-profit active from 1977 to 1986 that created funding, exhibitions, and networking opportunities for the most 'alternative' of the 'alternative' arts movement. Images 1. Colab Letterhead and Logo (printed stationary, c. 1985) 2. Colab meeting at Peter Fend's Broadway loft, c. 1983
