During a Grad Studio II crit in the spring of 2018, I presented my project Measurements of Space and Time and right after I finished, someone said, “This is like interface philosophy!” I didn’t exactly know what that meant, but it just felt right. At that very moment, I knew Interface Philosophy would be the title of my thesis.



Interface Philosophy was built as much as it was written and designed. Its function is to define “interface philosophy.” To describe interface as a meeting point for communication; philosophy as a cognitive reasoning of structural patterns. What I have constructed is a theory of effect: demonstrating intentional moves, shifts, and strategies that tell complex stories through simple form. Interface Philosophy is a methodology of understanding the mechanics of visual rhetoric and responding to developing contexts.

This publication would not have been possible without the collaboration and support of many individuals. I am especially thankful to the contributors, Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho, Ashley E. Dunn, Gretchen Schultz, and Brian Shure, for their thoughtful essays on objects from the exhibition. Henry Brown and Julia Samuels at Overpass Projects and Megan Foster at RISD were generous with their time and facilities while creating the videos seen in the glossary. Andrew Raftery also offered helpful technical advice on that part of the publication.
