“Totems” consists of three 3D printed forms reminiscent of impossible sex toys, along with three flat representations of the same forms printed on photography paper.
The forms in “Totem” were developed by analyzing online pornography
viewing habits. Time was represented by the vertical axis, with each model symbolizing
a single day. Individual bands generally represented time spent on a single
site: the thicker the band, the more time spent. The radius
of an individual band was logarithmically determined by the amount of
data downloaded from the corresponding site.
Models were examined individually and metaphors applied to what were
determined to be interesting forms. “Quickie” was so named because
there was only a brief concentration of pornographic Web viewing over
the course of one day. In “Work Safe?” it appeared as though large
concentrations of pornographic Web viewing took place at the beginning
and end of the day, bookending brief blips between 9 AM and 5 PM. The
name “Vacation” was chosen for what appeared to be a full day of
pornographic Web viewing. Further, the form was inverted manually as a
reflection of the introverted nature of such activity.
Chosen forms were then lathed, hollowed, and printed.
