Human 3d project.

I wanted to associate human emotions with a shape, so I chose a cube. I felt that the cube allowed for multiple surfaces to portray enough emotions. I also like to think of it as a connection being the human brain and rolling dice. Emotions have potential to be all over the place, much like taking your chances with dice. The hand is protruding from the mouth to reflect the idea that often times your words can influence your actions.

Nike LED Interactive Basketball Court

This is a recent innovation in sports technology. Imagine what the possibilities could be as far as interactivity goes (when practicing sports). Not only that, but could this be where video games are headed?

Raul Cuero

While being a basketball player is what I relate to the most when it comes to Raul Cuero, it is certainly not the most you can take away from his life. He understood that sometimes you have to explore new worlds to exceed, even if it meant leaving family and home. He has this sort of "do it yourself" mentality when it comes to wanting something that isn't given to you. While I have not read his book, just watching the interview shed light on some of his great qualities.

He used the talents that he had (and recognized that he had them) to travel and get to places that he wanted to go. He talks about a ceiling of expectations that people put on him, and how it was hard to balance an athletic reputation with an intellectual one.

Through his mindset, we can learn to try and transcend expectations and rise above them so that we can continue to push on. We can change others' expectations by doing the unknown and sort of shocking them.

"Our creativity is created by how we perceive nature." We have to understand our place in nature and build upon that, and then we can go places.

Juan Carlos Delgado

Although I can't quite relate to what Juan Carlos Delgado is trying to portray with his work, it has a very wide variety, and I can appreciate that. He is certainly expressive through photography and video, and explores everything from fashion to nudity to furniture. I particularly enjoyed the building covered with flower pots. I felt that it was a clever idea because in large cities it is rare to come across a lot of yards/gardens, so experimenting with vertical gardens actually makes a lot of sense. He seems to have a solid awareness of what is going on throughout the world, and channels that knowledge to create thought provoking work.
