My Reaktion book animal is the Hare. So far, I’ve read through chapter one and I’ve learned at least a few things about hares, as well as some of the differences between hares and rabbits. For instance, I’ve learned that rabbits and hares come from different genera - Hare comes the genus Lepus, while rabbits [...]

I recently started thinking about work opportunities for women in Southeast Asia - not necessarily Malaysia - because the topic of sex trafficking/prostitution came up for me again in the past few weeks or so. I would like to think more about how to provide better sources of work for women as a deterrent to [...]

For a Video for New Media project, I worked again with Lucas Werthein, and also Krystal Banzon, on a documentary featuring an intersection in New York City. Eventually we chose Broadway and Prince St., the home of Dean and Deluca and my hair salon. It’s a pretty hectic intersection in Soho that always seems to [...]

Caribou from Allison Walker on Vimeo.

I dressed as our character, while Jenine provided the voice-over in the video. Video editing by her; voice editing by me.
The mask [...]

Yet again, I revisit my deer self, for this final video blog. In this video, I take a little liberty with the humor of the audience. I won’t go into this too much, and I’ll just let the beginning shot of the legs be the only enticement. Clearly however, the sensuality of the music (Sensual [...]

Samples from my apartment

In this second vlog, I strung together many video clips of different places from my apartment, which has an interesting character. My place is kind of dark, which made color correction difficult. It’s just something I need more practice with, I guess. The music is “Beat Was A Bumpin” by DJ Cue. It’s a bit [...]

Here’s the first of 3 video blogs. This one features the wall I see every morning on my way to school. I don’t really think too much of it when I walk by, mostly because I’m looking at the ground to make sure I don’t walk in crap, but seeing it like this in one [...]
