New
media projects by 14 ART 340/540 Digital Processes students recovering from an encounter with Nicolas Bourriaud's Relational Aesthetics, "a set of artistic practices which take as their theoretical and
practical point of departure the whole of human relations and their
social context, rather than an independent and private space."
Shea Love- Where I'm From is a mini audio and physical chapbook exploring stories of home. It is an open-line for intimacy which uncovers bits about the artist's identities and experiences that shape her perspective and the way one fits within a community.
Christopher Moore- LUSTER media is an online mixed-media platform meant to showcase
the diverse art forms that LU students create.
Charlie Mann- Urban Street Art Independent Study documented through video and slides.

Rachel Wilke- The Love(less) Workshop is a video documentation of an event where students met in a contrived setting, individually wrote one
break-up letter and one love letter, and were subsequently
interviewed. The goal of this project was to break social barriers by
encouraging vulnerability and openness in a social setting.
Jade Peterson- The Ephemeral Tattoo was an event (in an attempt at
understanding relational aesthetics) with a resulting experimental film
that documented the experience of the human body as a canvas.

a
video that juxtaposes scenes of burning paper cranes with scenes of the

just entered the interstellar space. The original video was taken at
an illumination event that titled "the Universe" and then adapted and
edited with other audio pieces.

reality television show, “America’s Next Top Model”. In this mini
episode, five Lawrentians compete to win the title of LU’s Top Model.
