I am looking for a design student for the following project:

“I feel safe when ____” is a project of Professor Jennifer Edwards who teaches entrepreneurship, history and improvisation in the dance department at PPU. Through this project she is exploring both the development of collective stories, the creation of safe space, and the application of choreographic principles to data organization and sharing.

Project Title: “I feel safe when ____”

Description: “I feel safe when _____” is a choreographed, experiential data installation that explores what “safe” feels like. The project began as a one-to-one exchange, using postcards to collect over 200 ‘I feel safe when’ statements (statements can be read here: www.visitinghoursproject.com). It is now time to digitalize the exchange process and develop a data base to house statements, so that the data can then be choreographed using an algorithm and installed in a space. Through the installation people will experience a collective story of safety in a space designed to put them at ease.

Project scope:

– design a cohesive visual brand

– design a wiki

– assist in choosing and setting up a data base that is ‘fed’ by the wiki

– assist in a website redesign

– create an infograph that outlines the project

My contact information: 646-544-6745, jedwards@pointpark.edu

Many thanks!

Jennifer

If you still have students looking for positions, I could use a photography student. I would like to find a student that would be in charge of creating a photo gallery for one or two computer labs. The student would determine a theme, take and edit the photos, work with internal departments to get the photos printed up, and eventually hang the completed work in the labs. I would work with them in regards to the direction of the project and providing necessary resources, but they would really be handling everything from start to finish.
