syllogism
ˈsiləˌjizəm
• An occasion in which a conclusion is drawn from two assumed premises in which the conclusion does not need to be valid! Each of the premises presented must share a term with the conclusion while it also shares a common term not found in the assumed conclusion.
For example, All conservatives are obnoxious: All politicians have big mouths: Therefore all conservatives have big mouths.
This is not necessarily true but is a hilarious example of syllogism!
• Deductive reasoning which is distinct from inductive reasoning
Primarily interested in society and the commons, Karin’s art and writing take inspiration from Mikhail Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World and Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle. She enjoys poking fun at society, celebrity, politics and entitlement using pastiche, satire and parody as her tools.
Karin began her professional career as an interpretive Illustrator in 1997, specializing in publishing and advertising. In 2000 she began working as a graphic designer for print media, focusing on business branding and educational book publishing. Shortly after, she added web design, copywriting and social media to her portfolio.
Karin is currently exploring interactive art after completing a B.A. in Multimedia at McMaster University.
