My description of the objective of this blog will develop over time. I want to think of the process as organic but not capricious. Let's run with this 'organic' metaphor a step further: I will water it, talk (write) to it, and also keep it domesticated. It will be tame but not watered-down/bland. It will not be a platform for emotional/therapeutic journaling, but a more professional endeavor.
Let's start with me. I am a recent college graduate (May ‘08) with a degree in Art History and Psychology, and am doing a number of interviews for my own networking and career exploration purposes. These interviews will be shard here. They may take audio format, standard interview Q&A format, or be more like an essay in which I reflect on certain points of an experience. What I learn about the professions of architecture, museum administration and/or curation, and higher education administration will be shared here.
The term “haptic” is meant as a comment on technology. Specifically, this blog is being posted online (an intangible arena) but I want to bring something to it that brings texture and a tactile/experiential/”real” perspective. Our 21st century milieu is not unfamiliar with touch screens on technological gadgets such as cell phones, laptops, etc. We are moving at breakneck pace, and I am a mesmerized skeptic--impressed and fascinated by the development, but holding a healthy skepticism. I am an artist, and my works will be shared here, particularly the ones that reach the topics of technology and tangibility.
The post-college world, has eluded me to some degree. I feel like I am managing well. I am hitting the self-imposed benchmarks (I have a good job, traveled (to Brazil) post-graduation, moved out of my parent's house, etc), but I still am trying to break into some more specified arena. I feel I am talented, but I don’t know exactly where to apply said talents, quite yet. If you are reading this blog, you will be exploring this with me.
