“Parsons’ first-year course of study immerses students in an exploration of art and design concepts, skills, and critical practices, training them to become flexible thinkers, strong makers, and lifelong learners. The curriculum offers a survey of approaches to art and design that prepare students for the undergraduate programs at Parsons and enable them to envision paths beyond the confines of a single discipline.”

 

I had the opportunity to work with John Roach, the First Year Program Director, to prototype wall mounts to exhibit student sound designs. I produced 2 prototypes in 4 weeks using recycled materials. 

 

Attention was particularly made for iPod & headphone security, providing gallery staff top port access for listening & recharging, and providing exhibition visitors full access to iPod controls, while maintaining the iPod’s clean design aesthetics.

 

Both prototypes were precision Laser Cut with a 75 Watt Epilog 36EXT and handmade. Displayed here is the first prototype.
