MST3k and Web Design, 24/7
That has been the watch phrase for the past few days here at Factory Place.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 has been a constant source for my study of design. Hard to believe, but I find it indispensable. It's a matter of information, and the manner in which we can recontextualize and retransmit existing content. Focusing on design that specifically on the presentation of other artist's content, I find MST3k a good source of constant white noise, that keeps me engaged in the part of my brain that makes MST3k "work"
At UCLA I did present in a Graduate seminar on semiotics scenes from MST3k 802 - The Mole People - as an example of this very process. Was very successful in that.
in terms of photos, all you are going to get is yet another shot of the hall. I have no time to actually travel anywhere else to shoot at the moment.
