The Ethics of Senses →
We have developed certain standards of what is acceptable to transmit via other peoples senses, we have certain “rights” when it comes to what we should not be exposed to. For most of the five senses, it is pretty obvious when someone is out of line, but it is not so with the sense of smell. Sight: It is not socially acceptable for me to walk up to you on the street, and expose you to...
Smell, Nov 12
1. The scent of what leaves you swooning with joy?
This sounds so crazy, but I love the way Calvin smells. He has a very nice scent, almost like a baby. I think it’s because he shaves his head. 2. In the context of Ineke and Yosh saying how we cannot smell ourselves come up with a description of your smell. What is your smell is composed of?
I actually think this idea of not being able to...
Hearing, Nov 9
My sense of hearing is fine. The only thing is, I have an auditory learning disability. It’s interesting to me, it’s not about the hearing itself, it’s about the way my brain processes the information that I hear. Growing up people thought I had ADHD or something because I had trouble concentrating. Then by the time I got to high school, where grades really matter, my grades...

Color, Oct 29
1. What is your chromatic history?
In elementary school I was obsessed with Red, I even painted a wall in my room red. In middle school I was obsessed with wearing funky colored socks - everyone knew about my sox. High school, it was cool to wear a lot of denim and school colors. Now a days, I wear black almost everyday. My grandma says it’s not lady like. Growing up my mom was not...

Taste, Sept 26
What foods and flavors did you and do you find delicious?
As a kid I loved everything. I was always embarrassed to eat around my friend’s because I liked everything and they were picky. I thought it was way cooler to be picky.
Now I pretty much like all the same things, but I love spicy food, which I wouldn’t go near when I was a kid. My parents did a great job of introducing me to...
Is one-on-one communication more personal?
During my experiences working remotely, spending time on iChat and Skype, I began to think that it’s always the fault of the technology that make the conversations impersonal. Then tonight when I was just speaking with one person, I realized that one-on-one is more personal in general. The technology still plays a role in the lack of connection, but it’s okay if there are only two...
My first post
I am so not a poster. I have a very hard time posting. I am on video iChat with Henry and he is sharing some of his method for posting and journaling.
He asked me: “Do you have random thoughts?”
I’m not sure if I have random thoughts. But I know that Henry and I had a great time on iChat, exchanged some jokes and actually had fun.
Touch, Sept 17
For me, in my professional environment, I touch many objects. I work at a product design firm where materials are a part of our every day work. Also, when I go into the field to do research, I always shake people’s hand and interact with their physical environment. This may include sitting on their couch or holding something they want me to see.

Touch, Sept. 4
I noticed that we all thought of sharing touch in a completely different way. Adam drew his experience over the course of a day and explained what he felt. Sarah brought in little pieces of material to explain what she was going through. She shared pins, beads, and rocks so that we could all touch them. I on the other hand, brought in mini collages that expressed both the way I was feeling and...
