Poster: Juggalo Town

I started with this sketch I drew out myself, and then used photoshop/illustrator

On tourism:

Dean MacCannell The Tourist, A new theory of the leisure class "JdP: You mention at one point in your book that entire cities and regions have become aware of themselves as tourist attractions. This has also become the case with large-scale art institutions, which mount blockbuster exhibitions, for example. How does this kind of self-awareness relate to the construction of a museum as leisure/tourism site?" We often think tourism is a market for physical experiences. What do you think about tourism but in a virtual experience? Do you believe tourism could in some way be moving from the physical to the virtual? Or will virtual tourism not be leisurely/tourism and be forming into something else? a lifestyle perhaps.

Juggalo Town: Tourist Package

Starting off with my Google Sketch Up, I built a concert stage. I chose to build a concert stage for Juggalo Town because in this community, it is heavily based off music. In Juggalo Town everyone is encouraged to perform on this stage that is available 24/7. There are also famous guest artists such ass Insane Clown Posse, Ice Cube and E-40 who have performed on this stage.

Another attraction is the local ferris wheel that is also available 24/7 

But how will you be getting here from the Juggalo Stage?

Well that's simple.

The public transportation here in Juggalo Town has busses like these that are driven by you, for you and your community. No drivers licence required.

This is a very united community filled with loyal people and considered as 1 family all together as one.
The locals are even reachable through social media like there hotline: myspace.com/hotline801
Looking for a local love fling? Well then Juggalove is just for you. A dating website for the wicked.

Guys are known as Juggalos and girls are known as Juggalettes. Fashion Styles vary from little to no clothes and heavy face/body paint. 

This is a very welcoming community that allows you to express yourself anyway you'd like. Anything goes in Juggalo Town, whether if it includes you driving the local busses in the middle of the night from the Juggalo stage to the Ferris wheel, or just hanging out with the locals drinking and having a blast.

Come visit Juggalo Town soon!

My 3 outside events

1. The Bay Bridge Lighting

I went to The Bay Bridge Lighting and it was a great exhibition to experience. I never saw any of the test runs so this was actually the first time I saw the Bay Bridge lid up. Experiencing one of the largest LED light sculptures is something that not a lot of people get to experience and have in their own city. To be a San Franciscan is quite lucky sometimes and I am available to view these lights more than once.

2. Computer Science Museum

Going to the Computer Science Museum was a very different experience for me. It was a very different experience for me because I always just attend art museums. I did enjoy this museum a lot because of the variety of pieces shown and seeing them in a historical context. I went with my friends on a Saturday and we just simply walked around and explored the exhibitions. I thought it was a very beautiful museum the way it was set up and seeing all the different pieces.

3.Lebbeus Woods-Museum of Modern Art SF

I found Lebbeus Woods exhibition at the MOMA very intriguing because of the geometric shapes he uses in his work. My favorite works of his were his sketches. His pieces were very beautiful and the way his pieces were presented with the lighting seem to capture and present his work more elegant.

Mapping Artists

1.My first artist is the Computational Story Lab
One of their conceptual art pieces deals with mapping happiness
through twitter and the frequency of certain words.
The Results were very interesting and Napa, California
seems to be a happy place to live.

http://animalnewyork.com/2013/the-twitter-generated-happiness-map-of-america/ "Computational Story Lab are expanding their scope in an effort to
 map out the existential condition of the entire country. 
Unlike art cartographer Eric Fischer who used geotag data of tweets to map 
density of twitter users on the streets, CSL used the content of ten million 
geotagged tweets from 2011 onward to map out happiness on a nationwide 
scale based on the frequency of certain words."

2. Eric Fischer
Fischer uses the data from twitter to form these beautiful maps of New York
I really liked his work because of the organic presence his pieces give out.
You can see in this picture of one of his pieces looks like
veins and I thought that was interesting because it is just a image
of the data density he got off twitter

3.Tjep.
"founder Frank Tjepkema and DutchDNA‘s Eric Wolthuis extract genetic profiles,
map the data with 3D imaging, and transform a person’s
individual DNA into an equally unique work of art."

DNA Mapping furniture! I really just like this table because of its shape and I just wish I owned this !

Location Project

In our location, we took pictures of Cafe Rosso and turned it into a floating boat. We did this through photoshop and animated it. We uploaded the animated picture to youtube and added a QR Code. You can find our QR Codes around campus and around our location.
We really wanted our piece to be fun and whimsical from the busy school days at SF State. Often times  from my experience, students don't take a brief moment to see things differently, so this piece helps students see Cafe Rosso in a new form.
