in viscom, we are working with a method called "design archeology." we are using the principles of archeology to work backwards from present day cultures to understand their material artifacts and how those objects alone can be used to build an image of their culture of origin, resulting in something of a snapshot of that culture, generated through artifacts.
we mindmapped and brainstormed until we had 15 cultures as a class, and each of us chose two to look at, moving forward. shortly, it will be one, and then, as i understand it, we will work with this culture continuously from here on out.
