Color and Pattern 3D File Development in Surface Modeling
Color Jet Printing (CJP) is one of the few 3D printing processes that yields full CMYK color models from color 3D file formats. Surface modeling applications like Rhinoceros 3D allow for a variety of color formats to be generated even though the control of color information is limited. Three-dimensional patterns and architectural form are a mainstay in DeMonte’s creative process. With the advent of SubD tool sets in Rhinoceros 3D, he has begun transitioning his tessellation processes into the newly forming SubD workflows. The body of work created during DeMonte’s sabbatical demonstrates the potential of a refined color workflow used in conjunction with newly developed SubD tessellation processes. The resulting color workflow simplifies the process and increases the accessibility of generating color 3D models for broader range CAD users.

In search of Unknowing
Unknowing is a condition of openness. This unknowing in the intersubjective space of two people or people of two cultures allows others to be. This art of unknowing may enable a nurse to understand, with empathy, the actual essence of the meaning an experience has for a patient. In Stein’s process of Painting, Unknowing is the intersubjective space between artist and canvas. It is a suspension of conscious knowledge. Stein’s sabbatical work searches for the spaces with figures in space that create periods of unknowing. His sabbatical work pursued a combining of figures and space in combinations that were unexplored in past work.

Silas Munro Lecture and Conversation
With the support of COFAC Diversity, Equity and Inclusion funding and the Department of Art + Design, Art History, Art Education and its Graphic Design program, Silas Munro was invited for a lecture and conversation on March 31, 2022. Silas Munro engages multi-modal practices that inspire people to elevate themselves and improve society. Munro’s writing appears in Eye, Slanted, the Walker Reader, and the book W. E. B. Du Bois’s Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America. He is particularly interested in the often-unaddressed post-colonial relationship between design and marginalized communities.
