A negative and positive is a force of energy which provides a powerful stream of inspiration. This is the exhibit titled, Processed, at 584 W. 22^nd Street; an interaction between art + design presented by the Media Design Club students and several faculty members from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

The students work is that of vision from their motivated instructor and mentor Professor C.J. Yeh who brings motion and emotion to those in his path. The concept of life as a Process which emotes the senses; touch, smell, sight, hearing taste transcends a physicality to the projects from romantic, interactive, asking and telling -  while finding the answers that seem to be unveiled throughout the entire gallery experience. A desire to touch and find that the Process is a Process involved in the moment where the students spirit of life is not only felt but encapsulates a contagious breath of oxygen. Here art becomes a sensation of the senses understanding the core of each of the students’ work that surpasses time where the art required me touch, or feel an emotion, dance within the light to find the question and look at the word/text/typography bringing forth new information to follow the link for more of what lies ahead in a generation that has digital technology in harmony with contemporary concepts = Processed.

The heightened spirit of everyone gathered is that of an optimistic approach which is overwhelmingly meet with enthusiasm from those who are touched by methods of teaching. I found myself engaged with wanting more; more of the unknown that was presented while being delivered with a futuristic style.  I felt aspects of energy from those participating students. The presence of white and black gave depth and a meaning to the  lightness of being to the style of type, the entrance lights which produced the title of the exhibit: Processed, while every detail was exposed to allow attendees to pursue answers and be involved with a curious participation that delivered digital graphic information in an educational and enriching environment.

Jane's Carousel in DUMBO

Jane's Carousel was created in 1922, the heyday of the American Carousel, by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (P.T.C.). Designated as P.T.C. No. 61, it was originally installed in Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio, then a prosperous steel-making city. The Carousel has been fully restored to it's original elegance.
In 1983, as the designated developer of Empire Fulton Ferry State Park, David Walentas had commissioned a Master Plan for the park that called for an historic carousel to be installed. Jane and David Walentas purchased the Carousel at auction on October 21, 1984. Their bid for the entire Carousel prevented it from being sold piecemeal.
When purchased, the Carousel was in poor condition. Jane Walentas began its restoration at her studio in Dumbo in 1984. Her initial tasks included making necessary carpentry repairs and hand-scraping away 62 years of "Park Paint" with an X-acto knife to reveal the original 1922 carvings, color palette, and designs. The discoveries were carefully recorded with photographs, color matches, and detailed drawings that guided the repainting of the Carousel. The three rows of 48 horses were rendered in exact, painstaking detail. The highly decorative carved trappings were newly painted and re-leafed. Missing embellishments such as faceted jewels, small beveled mirrors on the bridles, and delicate pinstriping were also restored.
