In collaboration with Volunteers of America, we selected the site at 1770 Tchoupitoulas for a proposed mixed use development. Our project was awarded 2nd place in the competition, and Volunteers of America received an early development grant from JPMorgan Chase to begin the project. I researched diversity and housing development to inform the floor plan design, documented the design student's creative process, served as liaison between the policy students and the design students, and wrote portions of the final proposal. From our project proposal: Renaissance Neighborhood Development Corporation (RNDC), a subsidiary of Volunteers of America of Greater New Orleans (VOAGNO) and Volunteers of America Inc., challenged the New School team to create a proposal for affordable and market rate housing combined with commercial space on 90,000 square feet of riverfront property in New Orleans’ Lower Garden District at 1770 Tchoupitoulas Street. Our team proposes a visionary LEED silver-certified structure with 141 units of housing (87 affordable) and 36,819 square feet of commercial space. The building plan blends the best qualities of the Mississippi riverfront with the historic characteristics of the neighborhood. Green space, recreational areas and native landscape architecture along with on site medical and day care facilities will create a community nexus of services and commerce. The full report can be downloaded from the Enterprise Community Partners website. Photos: The New School team surveys the site, meets with city officials, and accepts the 2nd place prize. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-23sitedyp.jpg" width="640" height="472" width_o="640" height_o="472" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-23sitedyp_o.jpg" data-mid="319560" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-23site093_1_640.jpg" width="640" height="426" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-23site093_1_o.jpg" data-mid="319625" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-21EdBlakley09_640.jpg" width="640" height="426" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-21EdBlakley09_o.jpg" data-mid="319484" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-22JamesCarter02_640.jpg" width="640" height="402" width_o="2048" height_o="1286" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/08-02-22JamesCarter02_o.jpg" data-mid="319493" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/checklg_1_640.jpg" width="640" height="426" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/70200/checklg_1_o.jpg" data-mid="319521" border="0" align="left"/> http://portfolio.idaimages.com/Messing-Around-with-Photography http://portfolio.idaimages.com/following/portfolio.idaimages.com/Messing-Around-with-Photography Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:40:20 +0000 Ida C. Benedetto - Portfolio 480985 Originally published on my blog in November 2009. There were a lot of cameras out at the 9th anniversary celebration for Hope for Children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Hope for Children supports AIDS orphans through the sponsorship of American and Australian donors. Beneficiaries, family, community members and forign donors came together for the celebration. When it comes to photographing such events, the custom used to be that conscientious foreigners visiting developing countries would give prints to locals in exchange for posing for pictures. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/480985/dyptich.jpg" width="600" height="182" width_o="600" height_o="182" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/480985/dyptich_o.jpg" data-mid="2173955" border="0" align="left"/> Here, the dynamic has changed. The instant gratification of seeing the image on the back of the camera increasingly takes the place of giving back prints. Is this a bait and switch, where the mystique of the foreigner’s technology leads to the locals missing out on a fair exchange, or is a different kind of interaction happening all together? The flow of images between the developing world and the developed world has always been a two-way street, but the producers of highly circulated images have consistently come from privileged backgrounds. Researchers, artists, and journalists make images about far-flung and exotified places for the enrichment of those in developed counties while mass media designed for the same audiences filters out across the globe and deeply influences the media culture of developing countries. The flow of visual media came under intense scrutiny in the 1960s and 1970s when post-colonial anxiety reached a fever pitch. This anxiety was perhaps best captured by Susan Sontag in her book On Photography, where she associated the proliferation of photographic imagery with chronic voyeurism antagonistic of any meaningful intervention.(Thankful Sontag revised this view with a more nuanced stance toward visual representation in her last book, Regarding the Pain of Others.) In response, a host of community oriented creative practices took hold, including the practice of conscientious travelers giving prints to those in the photographs. Giving people prints focuses on exchange. The foreigner gets the image they want and the local gets a copy for cooperating. Now, in many places I travel to, locals are quick to insist upon prints and will speak with vivid indignation about those visitors who promised prints but didn’t deliver. The dynamic around photography at the Hope for Children anniversary celebration was wholly different. This was in part because these locals are kids accustomed to interacting with foreigners who support Hope for Children’s work. Many of the kids are uninhibited about engaging these strangers, and they have expectations around digital photography that seem to have as much to do with participation as exchange. Not only were kids asking to have there picture taken and immediately reaching to turn the camera around to see the results. Many were asking to take the pictures themselves, often with no apparent expectation of keeping their work. I wonder if there is something decidedly ‘new media’ about their interests to get their hands on the technology and participate in production. The dynamic I witnessed felt a lot like kids jumping at the opportunity to ‘mess around’ with visual media and digital technology, an important learning activity for digital youth identified in a recent report by UC Berkeley's iSchool. While I was at the celebration principally as a photographer, to make images, one interaction left me with something decidedly more valuable that a photograph. The sun on Saturday was strong, like it is most days this close to the equator. I spent some time hugging the thin lip of shade cast by a corrugated tin fence. After a while, I felt a tug on my pants and looked down to see a girl of about 7 years old pointing timidly at my camera and then at herself. She wanted me to take her picture. My first reaction was a feeling of nausea as her eager eyes and covered head brought to mind Steve McCurry’s iconic image and all the dubious cultural and gender baggage that fueled its’ popularity. Judging by her expression, it took her a while to find the nerve to get my attention. She must have seen the more assertive kids getting in on the photography action and wanted to participate. I decided to ignore my initial anxiety, crouched down, snapped a few frames, and turned the camera around to show her. A suppressed smile crossed her face. I looked at her eagerly hoping for a more telling expression of her feelings about the photo. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/480985/09-11-14HFCanniversary063-199x300.jpg" width="199" height="300" width_o="199" height_o="300" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/958/480985/09-11-14HFCanniversary063-199x300_o.jpg" data-mid="2173942" border="0" align="left"/> Getting only bashfulness, I offered mine: “Konjo.” (“Beautiful” in Amharic.) The girl’s suppressed smile broke into a grin from ear to ear. She quickly looked at the picture one more time to confirm the assessment and, satisfied, turned back toward the festivities. I reluctantly show you the picture here to help you envision our interaction, but the real value of the exchange for me was in using my camera satisfy her curiosity and break through her shyness. Seems that she valued the exchange around the photo at least as much as the photo itself, too. Those who own the cameras and the means of storing and viewing the images still have the most leverage over visual representation. That said, digital technology might help push stopgaps for postcolonial anxiety (like sharing copies of the final production) toward sharing the means of production, prioritizing the interaction between people, and jointly assessing the results. http://portfolio.idaimages.com/The-Synagogue-Experience http://portfolio.idaimages.com/following/portfolio.idaimages.com/The-Synagogue-Experience Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:40:01 +0000 Ida C.

Index, which measures progress in closing the digital divide. The laptops represent a unique opportunity for the youth to become computer savvy and a staggering challenge for the predominantly computer illiterate educators tasked with using them in their classrooms. The computers include digital versions of local textbooks and the only keyboard ever produced for Amharic, one of Ethiopia's dominant languages. The content and hardware accommodations make it slightly easier for teachers to incorporate the laptops into the rigid curriculum and authoritarian teaching style. In the absence of extensive teacher training and revised curriculum, the greatest educational benefits of the laptops come from the play, collaboration and creativity that the students bring to the activities it facilitates. http://portfolio.idaimages.com/Lilliput-A-Photographic-Travelogue http://portfolio.idaimages.com/following/portfolio.idaimages.com/Lilliput-A-Photographic-Travelogue Wed, 11 Apr 2012 05:13:01 +0000 Ida C. Benedetto - Portfolio 60117 Lilliput is an interactive digital travelogue that reproduces the pleasantly disorienting feeling of extended overseas travel. The project derives its name from a fictional island in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. In Swift's tale, the island of Lilliput is at war with its neighboring island of Blefuscu over the proper end at which to crack an egg. This war is the source of the term endianness, the computer science convention for communication when information is broken into pieces for transmission and reassembled upon reception. Lilliput: A Photographic Travelogue attempts to produce meaning by assembling photographs and narrative memories in digital space.

Benedetto - Portfolio 2540863 In July 2011, a team of American game experts taught 80 high school youth in Abu Dhabi how to design games. We used a curriculum called Activate! developed by PETLab at Parsons the New School for Design that I helped develop. In Abu Dhabi, I short video to document the project and produced this short piece. http://portfolio.idaimages.com/SueyJaye-com http://portfolio.idaimages.com/following/portfolio.idaimages.com/SueyJaye-com Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:09:25 +0000 Ida C. Benedetto - Portfolio 2535717 Artist Sue Jaye Johnson has produced a wide variety of documentary projects over a decade and a half.
