Lynn Faitelson

Class of 2005

Background
BA (Magna cum Laude) Graphic Design Simmons College, Boston 1996
MFA candidate Massachusetts College of Art expected graduation 2005
I was born in South Africa, and arrived in this country fifteen years ago, by way of England and Holland. I have worked for the past several years as a book designer. When I accepted the offer to study at MassArt, I had several clear objectives: to become, first and foremost, an excellent typographer and print designer; to learn about education in the design environment, and finally to discover what the "new" in new media is really all about. I wanted to immerse myself in an environment dedicated to excellence in art and design, where risk-taking is encouraged and supported.

Interests
My work here has been mostly experimental: investigations into self, identity, simultaneity, expression, culture and understanding. I will continue to challenge the dogma and paradigm that have usually governed my work, and hopefully discover a fresh, innovative vision, and a new vocabulary for communication.

Inspiration: The search for the correct viewpoint which is superior to all other viewpoints is an error in itself Rashomon Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments Marshall Mc Luhan
