He foundation lab student team projects at Virginia Tech
2021 Fall VT First Year Foundation Lab Instructor Nero Chenxuan He
Grounded in the idea of the “Big Flat Now,” where information circulates through media without hierarchy, authority, or a centralized archive, this project uses photogrammetry as a primary tool. Each student produces a digital twin of a collected physical object and individually archives it through multiple parameters, including dimensions, form, scale, physical weight, and digital file weight.
Students then collaborate in teams to share and recombine their archived objects, relocating and redefining them within a digitally modeled shopping cart using curatorial strategies to upcycle “digital waste.” The final presentation focuses on the still-life condition of the overflowing cart, using digital renderings and vector drawings to explore new representational formats for this collaborative design process.
