double major shoutout! ✴️ Varun (GD + ID ‘22) holds up a piece he feels intersects both his disciplines. Varun loves exploring new mediums in digital apparel programs, where he designed garments for the Artemis space missions “that focused on introducing South Asian fashion styles into a traditionally western fashion area”
(+thanks for keeping the pig tail trend going)
by .sark ,
double major shoutout! ☮️ Valeria (GD + SC ‘24) holds up a piece she feels intersects both her disciplines. Valeria is always looking for new ways to bring her digital work to fill a 3D space and finds “using digital tools such as videos, images, typography and audio to create immersive experiences in said spaces”
by .sark ,
double major shoutout! 🌀 Annie (GD + IL ‘23) holds up a piece she feels intersects both her disciplines. Annie enjoys exploring the boundaries between illustration and graphic design and that “it’s often pretty blurred as they flow into each other’s domain, especially with typography for what I’m creating”

[Code Lab] Visiting Artist Workshop Series
—
Aarati Akkapeddi
Wednesday, March 16 5:30 pm
Zoomcast from DC 501
—
In this workshop, we will explore the advantages and limitations of computational (and human) classification of images through participatory and technical exercises, related to her recent work —𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴. By walking through some ways to manipulate images using facial recognition and python, we will discuss how formulating our own taxonomies for personal archives can cultivate new meaning and at the same time how classifications are always approximations and forgetting this can hold us back from noticing the wonderful ways in which archival materials complicate and resist the boxes we place them in.
Aarati Akkapeddi is a coder, interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Lenapehoking (Brooklyn, NY). They work for The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network, where they create digital spaces and tools. In their creative practice, they combine archival material, code, machine learning and analog techniques (photography & printmaking) to create artwork about intergenerational/collective memory. Their creative work has been supported by institutions such as Ada X, The Interactive Telecommunications program at NYU, ETOPIA Center for Art & Technology, and LES Printshop. They currently teach creative coding in the Design & Technology department at Parsons.
Open to all RISD students ✨

Tonight was a real moment for us to be proud: the RISD GD Triennial is now open through November 14, featuring 160+ submissions from current students and recent alumni. Enormous thanks to the team for their patience and support, to the huge student team that self organized and made this happen, to everyone who submitted work.
From the exhibition statement:
🔥
RISD GD Triennial 2021
A passage, a window, an entrance, an exit, a threshold, a transition: it is through these portals that the RISD community experienced the past three years. We moved between physical and virtual spaces, projected ours and others’ voices throughout nationwide social and racial unrest, and oscillated between reflections on the past and present, and speculations about new futures. We entered social spaces, classrooms, and work environments through the lenses of TikToks, tweets, and tiny video grids. We sustained epistemological reckonings and “new normals” as the separations between home/work, public/private blurred together. The 2021 GD Triennial is an exhibit of works produced within RISD’s Graphic Design Department over the last three years, as they sit at the intersections of disciplines, visions, and practices. Portals enable both transportation and transformation—as visual communicators, we open portals into new ways of disrupting and educating. And as we travel through and across portals—from a volatile past towards a hazy, but hopeful, future—we must embrace the uncertain, constantly iterative process of that transition. Against a background of profound social, technological, and ecological change, our recent efforts have created new portals and our continued vigor and vigilance will ensure they remain open. This exhibition is a testament to the ever-evolving state of design and its endless potential: a pathway to the many worlds we’ve been to before and a portal to the infinite places we will eventually go.
