Designvelopment is a term I use to describe how I'm switching constantly between a sketchbook, code, and pixels, blurring the line between creative and logical thinking. This site is meant to be an outlet for my thoughts as an interactive designer and developer, as well as a resource for others in this field.
Thanks for reaching out to me. I'll be in touch as soon as possible.
DNA 11 : Art Inspired by your DNA
Posted 5:11 pm
DNA 11 creates abstract art from a sample of your DNA. Ask DNA 11 to send you a kit, send it back with a sample of your saliva, and they will then print your art according to your specified size and colors. Prices range from $390 to $940. It’s a little on the steep side for a print, but at least you’re guaranteed to have a unique work of art.

Insert Object, and Out Comes an Artful Replica
Posted November 23, 2005 at 11:13 am
Tonight, at Leo Koenig in Chelsea, the Vienna-based collective Gelitin has built a large wooden box with two extensions, one like a cabinet and one like a top-loading chest. Viewers can place any object into the chestlike extension, close the hatch, and wait while their object is hand-replicated and returned after an indefinite amount of time.

Videogame Aesthetics
Posted October 14, 2005 at 3:14 pm
David Hayward posted a very topical article about the changing aesthetics of video games. With the ever progressing surge towards true photo-reality in games, the visual effect of games has become banal. Hayward looks at the progression of art history in a similar fashion, proposing that a revolt against photo-realism is imminent. This can even be seen in recent 3D animated movies – once true realism is reached, there’s nowhere else to go – thus the emergence of throwback animation technologies like claymation used in both The Corpse Bride and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. This article is worth a read even if you’re not interested in video games.
Hidden Microchip Art
Posted 11:15 am
CNET’s article, “What art is hiding on your microchip?“, exposes the tiny world of microchip art.
More than 10 years ago, Michael Davidson went looking to capture the beauty of microchip circuitry in photographs. In among the transistors and wire traces, he found something unexpected: Waldo.
Waldo is just one of many different doodles burned permanently into numerous microchips. Similar to the Easter Eggs of programmers, these etchings were a sort of competition among engineers to invent the most elaborate drawing and stake their artistic prowess.
