Lifecycle at F5

I created this film as part of my presentation at F5. Still trying to figure out how to document the full presentation, more on that soon!

Lifecycle is conceptually focused on utopian ideology particularly in relation to architectural practice. My argument is that utopia finds itself in a constant state of failure and reinvention; urban futurism vs Epcot, housing tower vs Cabrini Green, etc. Hence, the cycle of utopian ideology is the application of ideology, the failure of application, re-assimilation of failure, and thus a revision of original ideology. The result of this ideological loop are the speculations for new kinds of conceptual hybrids.

Two hybrids I speculated on (through a film) are a fertility spa where reproductive technology becomes an aesthetic experience and a vertical tomb where the graveyard becomes a tower and an anonymous beacon to the city.

Jose Mondojana rocks the portrait

This guy is a killer photographer and he just moved to Seattle. Jose focuses on mostly on conceptual portraiture but just about anything he aims his lens at looks AMAZING.

Priceless?

Proof that efficiency and financial responsibility are possible when faced with that ever nagging problem of 'oh no, the time lapse is actually not inside with warmth, dryness, and electricity, but actually outside in the 30mph winds, with little hail pellets all around, and expensive camera equipment.'

Note: I'm especially proud of the potting soil as sandbags trick.

Thanks to Murphy for the co-conspiring.
