It is created in conjunction with two other Studio Mercury projects for Rhode Island School of Design: a Process Book for the MFA '08 Class, and a series of web documentaries that reveal the creative processes and final work of the graduating artists of that year. The website was originally conceived to provide a communal location where these documentaries can be viewed by current and prospective students, faculty, and an external audience curious about RISD's rigor and pedagogy. After an intensive period of conversations between Studio Mercury and RISD, the original conceit transformed into a much more interactive forum, where each artist/student could be given the opportunity to upload their own work and thoughts. The website, along with its video and print counterparts, builds on RISD's belief that every single aspect of one's environment contributes to the work. The conversation that takes place during the construction of the artwork provides unique insights into the work. Strangely, this intense and unique "process" is often obscured in the final presentation. By giving the individual the liberty to bring this process to the open, this website is an experimentation of sorts. It engages the outside world with the interiority of the school. ]]>
