I do not have an idea what I want to do for my thesis, however there are definitely forms, ideas, and emotions I am interested in.

Here is my brainstorming session:

https://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/archive/2025/11823-octavio-figueroa-moya/

https://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/archive/2025/11622-jasmine-nackash/

All of these are thesis presentations resonate with me because they have a strong physical presentation and novel function.

-Octavio’s thesis caught my attention because of the level of complexity he was able to achieve by repeating fairly simple analog circuit.

• Lening’s project has a strong sense of novelty based off of the different behaviors of the cameras, and the functions of them evoke emotional response, sometimes independent of the photo’s content.

• Jasmin’s piece WAR deals with really heavy themes, and the physical design of her device is super clean and almost meditative. This creates a unique emotional response that walks a very somber line.
