According to the Wiki, cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of regulatory systems. Ok, so when you think regulatory systems, you think toilets, right? Here's my attempt to show how the toilet is a self-regulating (closed-loop) system for Paul Pangaro's Cybernetics class. 

Not too long ago, I created some icons for a presentation our group did for Khoi Vinh's Designing the Conversation class. You can download the AI files here.

Late last night, the rear of my toilet started to overflow. I lifted the porcelain cover to discover that the flotation device was not doing it's job of floating. Since the darn thing was drowning in New York tap, the toilet continued to pump water into the tank.

Frustrated with how crap doesn't work in my apartment and how long it usually takes for my super to answer his phone calls, I had to face off with the bathroom once again!
