Assignment 4- Landscapes Traveled and Tracked- Beginning stages

Beginning stages:

Tools: Adobe illustrator, information of migration from my family and my own movements in the us for the past 30 years.

In the beginning stages of the map landscapes. First I traced the maps of the nations. In my migration there are a lot of drops. My mom's there might not be as many in the latter part of the 20th century. But This fores me to see how  withing a small area I've moved around in a small area and brief gaps fo times. What does this say about the financial stability? What does it say about the  dependency of my family? At which era did it begin to settle down?

google images of maps of the countries involve din our migration.

stay tuned for more in depth visual tracking as more info from family starts to come in.

Augmented Body Project- Ability to Grow Fur on Command

My augmentation is the ability to grow fur on command when I'm cold. The condition of extreme hair growth is called Hypertrichosis. Even though the ability of growing hair on command is not biologically possible yet the myth of animal and human combination is known in Egyptian, Native American and Meso-American Myths. The Goddess Bastet from Egypt had the head of a black cat and human body and the shamans in Mexico summoned the jaguar spirit during rituals. In movies and pop culture werewolves are only seen as horror and sci-fi movies. Thus the x-files theme song in the animation below.

I Started looking for way to make the transformation pop. I ran across a tutorial that showed how to add facial hair and I went through the steps. It was fun once I learned how to create a brush that looked like a flow of hairs. I started to add facial hair to old photos. It was too much fun!

 Here's the progression for this photo. HAHA!
