In the world of digital discovery we’ve transitioned from a tangible journey to a process of clicking and scrolling. This evolution clouds our perception, making the quest for new experiences both overwhelming and repetitive. Algorithms, designed to predict and please, often confine us within an echo chamber of similarity. This shift from a tangible discovery to a digitally programmed one, challenges us to seek authenticity and connection. In observing the transition of our interaction with music over time, we question how, where, and why we discover anything?

I enjoy creating editorial and typographic illustrations. My approach is marked by a symbolic and playful language, showcasing my interest in experimenting with form, movement, and juxtaposition.

Every fall, third-year students in the Graphic Design program at FIT create a triptych poster series for the class Core Studio 1: Design and Methodology. We cover the floor of the John E. Reeves Great Hall with the work. This semester, the show is on December 15, from 1 to 5 pm, and work from the fourth-year students will also be on view at the north end of the hall. Print graphics, motion graphics, and expressive typography abound.

Kasparov & Deep Blue

In 1997, Kasparov, the world's best chess player lost a match against an IBM supercomputer called Deep Blue. He resigned after 19 moves. This had never happened before, creating a societal shift in which AI began to fulfil what scientists had always known it could do. Although AI is thought to have fascinating capabilities, it also presents ethical issues, and while we are surrounded by it, a lot of people feel uneasy, and perhaps even assume that "robots will eventually take over." That being said, it's important to take into consideration that AI cannot function without humans and the two working together have a lot of potential to solve limitations. So, by taking chess and bringing it back to the '90s, when AI first began to make its major mark, the set aims to bring computer and humans together.
Observer's Experience

How does one of the mainstream values of the current society, group living, view a solitary lifestyle? Undesirable, unfavorable, pathological, and harmful? The thought that "solitude is a reasonable life choice, just like group living" may have never crossed their mind. My thesis, "Solitude Is A Reasonable Life Choice & More," considers that a solitary life is a choice that reasonably exists in human society and I hope that society reconsiders the correctness of the one-sided stigmatization of loners. The zine titled "Observer's Experience," as an independent digital zine, is not only a medium that presents my thesis, but also my personal experience. Due to the pandemic, I experienced something new. After such a long period of being isolated and blocked from society, solitude has evolved into an isolation with negative effects. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to learn and keep a balance between solitude and social interaction.

Everyone knows what nature is, but this impetuous world disconnects us from it. We, as humans, help to create negative impacts on nature. However, the COVID-19 pandemic was like a serious warning from nature; it forced us to slow down and reflect on our actions. Humans need to develop a better relationship with nature and show it more respect. My project is inspired by the environmental aspect of a traditional Chinese philosophy called Taoism. It teaches people to live in harmony with nature and follow the way of Tao. "Harmony" is an app that helps people cultivate their inner energy by using the energy from nature. People can appreciate nature's beauty and reconnect with themselves. Next, "RE" exposes the consequences of human greed. Humans should re-recognize the importance of nature and understand how much it contributes to human civilization. Coexisting with nature is the long-term prosperity of human civilization.

Many immigrants living in the United States find the need to Americanize and conform when they should embrace their identity and heritage. The narrative of Chinese Americans is one of assimilation and loss of cultural identity. Growing up, I always tried so hard to fit in. Now that I'm older, I realize that there is no need for us to fit in, but for us to really embrace and carry that identity with us. "Remembering Traditions, (Zine Title: Jooksing)," reminds us that there are a lot of traditions in the Chinese culture that are never really written down. If it weren't for our elders, like our grandparents, many of the things we celebrate and take for granted would probably be forgotten. I want to reflect on what we learn from our history, remember the traditions that our family celebrates, and share this culture with future generations.

Immigration has always been a part of the American culture; however, the challenges immigrants face when starting their life in a different country are rarely talked about. This book, "Pulled Away," has been inspired by those exact challenges and it aims to reach a younger audience through the mixture of three formats: storytelling, pictures, and a comic book, along with the use of elegant typographical elements, all combined into one. The way one deals with situations in their life is always up to the individual, and the choices made affect us just as much as they affect everyone around us. The goal of this book is to present the changes within the family structure and the difficulties an immigrant family, or a family member, might face while trying to adjust to a new culture.
