We've made fishcakes! Using the historic biomass data of the dwindling number of bluefin tuna. As the years go on we cut into the entirety of the stocks and also the entirety of our fish cakes. Sculpting Fish Into Everyday Data sheds light on the predicament of the delicious and endangered bluefin tuna.It is a story of recent economic conditions codifying themselves into ancient culinary and cultural tradition, of the ecological and political realities brought on by the tragedy of the commons in an age of both increasing efficiency and growing scarcity, and of a quickening death march brought on by an economic feedback loop where demand outpacing supply provides an incentive to create ever greater scarcity. In this project, we present the physical shape of the bluefin tuna emaciated by its own dwindling population and presented in its most common setting on a Japanese sushi board. The tuna shape is edible, molded from food grade silicone, such that the viewer, too, can be conscious of being part of the narrative as they bite into the tuna's exquisite corpse of tradition, gastronomy, and economics. http://www.will-jennings.com/The-Future-of-Plastic http://www.will-jennings.com/following/will-jennings.com/The-Future-of-Plastic Tue, 15 May 2012 13:21:54 +0000 William Jennings Design 3407748 My Sukmo Koo, Michaella Cardona, Marcela Godoy and I developed new methods and researched temperatures to fuze discarded plastic bags. In order to make this useful we looked at the industrial process as something DIY or reachable for people without much access. This project was designed and developed at itp.nyu.edu under the guidance of Jorge Just for the design for UNICEF class, our research may be found here. A new economy might equal repurposing ubiquitous trash as a new product. We are trying to revitalize that product through light industrial process. http://www.will-jennings.com/Occupational-Therapy http://www.will-jennings.com/following/will-jennings.com/Occupational-Therapy Tue, 15 May 2012 05:42:00 +0000 William Jennings Design 72832 First trial of Kinect + Occupational Therapy. http://www.will-jennings.com/Born-Between-The-Lines http://www.will-jennings.com/following/will-jennings.com/Born-Between-The-Lines Tue, 15 May 2012 05:41:01 +0000 William Jennings Design 3405995 Sign up for the alpha!!!

There are so many stories within the data but the two most apparent were the moment when the labor party won a landside victory. The next major story was in 2007 with the introduction of the conservative leader David Cameron, and then the subsequent victory over the labor party in 2010. http://www.will-jennings.com/Off-Balance-Vision http://www.will-jennings.com/following/will-jennings.com/Off-Balance-Vision Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:10:25 +0000 William Jennings Design 2891262 Video sculpture project inspired from a traditional sculpture.
