“Donate directly is through the Weill-Cornell Hospital (GHESKIO) in Port-au-Prince Haiti”: http://wcmchelpshaiti.org
This hospital is located close to ground zero of the earthquake and many med students and doctors were injured but are still assisting far too many patients. My brother Eliot is a med student at Cornell and is trying to get money going directly to the hospital instead of getting caught up in bureaucratic non-profit system. http://www.med.cornell.edu/globalhealth

Broken

broken_shirt

This project has been an on-going series of experiments in which the basic shapes of the American flag are stripped of their identifying features and broken apart slightly. The shapes are then placed in different contexts to test what kind of meaning they can take on. Each part in the series has yielded an interesting number of responses from bar code to prison bars to a divided union.

EXTRARCHITECTURAL

xarchLogo for architecture collaborative EXTRARCHITECTURAL. The concept behind the mark for is a structural abstraction of the positive and negative space created from the letter X and the letter A. This creates a container of sorts. The basic idea behind this is that EXTRARCHITECTURAL is a collaborative of different artists and designers working together at different times places, etc. EXTRARCHITECTURAL itself can be seen as a container that holds different types of people and projects at any given time, adaptable to multiple uses.

Good Magazine

magazine

I worked for OPEN on the design of GOOD Magazine. GOOD is a magazine is “a collaboration of individuals, businesses, and nonprofits pushing the world forward. Since 2006 we’ve been making a magazine, videos, and events for people who give a damn. This website is an ongoing exploration of what GOOD is and what it can be.”

The magazine was designed from the ground up by the team at OPEN. The team was directed by Scott Stowell and consisted of Susan Barber, Rob Di Ieso, Gary Fogelson, Serifcan Ozcan and Me.

Projected News

dailynews

Proposal for an outdoor projection. The projection would be at night onto a construction barrier or blank wall on a dark portion of a street. It is intended to function as an RSS feed reader. Images of newspaper front pages are drawn from the Newseum and displayed in a changing grid. The large text headlines would feed from an alternative source such as NPR. Colors used in the newspapers would fill empty grid blocks and act as a background for the text feed.
