ἐντός

Our midterm presentation is coming up on Tuesday - we're well on our way in researching about all that we've talked about. The story/concept behind our project is still in its early stages... but generally, we have a clear idea of the direction we'll be going into. In other words, we've got foundation.

Since we have some roots planted (and since our presentation is in two days) we have started the process of designing a logo and deciding on a name for our project. Alannah and I (Kitty here) took this on as our little project. Because we covered so many ideas, it was not an easy task to create a graphic and a word that encompasses them all. We also wanted to keep it simple.

Finally, we decided on the Greek word, ἐντός(pronounced en-tos) which means within. This is the perfect word to describe our project. As much as we've explored the different aspects of technology and its purposes, our ultimate focus is on the entertwining of one's self image or identity with our outward extensions. In other words, it's about a struggle/relationship that happens within.

On second note, we chose a Greek word because our performance will resemble a tragedy inspired by Greek literature.

Here are some iterations...


In these logos, we explored symbols of infinity, silence, pixels, brush strokes.. etc. As a team, we chose the last iteration. 

It illustrates hand-drawn computer pixels to represent the relationship between human + technology.
