Our final project for Computer Art...the assignment was super vague - something inspired by our experience of Tokyo. I came up with a bunch of things that came to mind when I thought about living here this semester, and sort of tried to smoosh them together into one image (who knows how successfully...)

Anyway, the ideas are: rain, lights, maps, alleys, vertical, electrical wires, and fish. By "vertical" I sort of meant how everything here is stacked up on top of everything else - I don't know if it comes across though. The fish are because of both all the fish I've eaten (in lots of different forms), and the aquarium I went to with some friends on top of Roppongi Hills.

All in all it's a combination of 5 or so photos and some textures...I used one photo of the alley, one of the electrical post/wires/sky, one of the lights, a map of the neighborhood I live in here (Akasaka), a photo I snagged the umbrella from, the fishy, and a texture from ...unfortunately I don't remember where I found the other images (they were just dumped in a big resource file), so if anybody recognizes them, lemme know

Anywho, I printed it out today (it's A3 size, so...sort of a smallish poster size) to hang up in the student show on Monday, which means another class down! Now I just have a few papers to finish up and I'm free free free...I basically spend all year looking forward to winter break/Christmas.

Any suggestions for a title would be really appreciated...it apparently needs one for the show and I kind of can't come up with titles (the one I have no is so stupid I don't even want to talk about it). Also, I suggest downloading to view at full size...it looks a little oddly pixelated in the small/full-view. Thanks!
