Sexuality and Design

This website allows a user to move dots and lines to create the perfectly shaped sex toy for their bodies. These dots act as anchor points, and the lines help to form the shape. The connection of these dots and lines allow the eye to imagine what the form would look like. The end result has no dots or lines, but creates a shape/form as curves created from the dots and lines

This art piece uses wire to create line. This line draws the eye to various places to create an image. This image is three-dimensional, resting on a block of wood. Our eye is used to seeing an image like this drawn two-dimensionally with a pen on paper. This illusion using line allows us to see the image of a stretching figure as a sculpture. Line is very literally used in the end result as well as the creation stages.


 
These tiny hotels use scale and shape to create small, modular living spaces. The design uses fundamental shapes like squares to create rectangles and right angles. These form symmetrical, functional, compartments. They allow for storage, a sleeping space, and even a pull down table. A further use is in the double-layered space with stairs. By using grids and lines, the designer creates uniform spaces that can be scaled down greatly. There have been jokes about these new spaces being used for "quickies" instead of using motel rooms, to cut down on cleanup and waste.
