The reading that we were assigned “The Digital Divide,” spoke to me but in an almost flipped perspective. Throughout my time at Bowling Green my interests have shifted immensely from my major and my practices. Having discovered and fallen in love with glassblowing, my priorities within digital art have changed from pursuing animation and concept design to 3D modeling and rendering as a means of prototyping and producing my glass pieces. Because of this shift, this has lead me to feel a sense of alienation from the digital program as a whole. None of it spoke to me, and I just went on creating things that I felt as though I had no connection with.  Even so, I found and thought I had the perfect means of combining the two for my thesis, but apparently it is not enough.

Now I am tasked with finding a way to further push digital art into my thesis. We discussed ways of including video, projection, AR, or animation into my work, but nothing has clicked yet. We will see what comes with some research, and continuing to push forward to make my work valid among my other digital peers.
