Lorena’s blog

Dylan’s blog

Dina’s blog

Lorena’s blog is very arty and yet, very funny all at the same time. She balances the two pretty well.

Dylan’s is straight up comedy, I find myself to be more pulled toward comedic type blogs.

You can tell that Dina’s blog is filled with things that she likes, but everything is also very relatable since they do not have very specific and are mainly photographs or GIFs telling a story.

For blogs, a lot of the class have a single-column blog. I think these are ideal for very specific types of blogs. I believe single-columns work well with comedic and artsy blogs because you have to let you audience take in what is trying to be conveyed.

the multimedia realm wouldn’t exist without the tech we have today. From what I understand, the multimedia realm is about appealing to a vast amount of people. It’s been made easier to create works and easier than ever to put that work out to the general public.

i feel bad for people who use sai but dont know about stabilizer, transparent brushes and clipping groups

[commander-ledi]

this is where you find stabilizer:

i personally prefer to use S-4 for default drawing and S-7 when i need to draw really long smooth lines. this is what it does:

this is where you find transparent brush:

when you enable it, you can use your currently selected brush as eraser. this is what it does:

this is where you find clipping group:

you have to have at least two layers, the base layer and the one for the colors. when you draw on the layer with little red bar on side, the stuff you put on the layer appears only on top of the things you have on the base layer. the effect is p much same as preserving opacity except you dont change anything about the base layer and you can still use layer textures and effects. this is what it does:

Where can I find these in photoshop

[elanorpam]

there is no stabilizer in photoshop, but if you set brush mode to “clear” it’ll work just like a transparent brush. this option is on a dropdown menu, usually on top of the canvas right under the menu and halfway to the left. looks like a layer mode dropdown

also, i seem to remember hearing about a stabilizer plugin for photoshop. might be worth googling

as for clipping mask, just right-click the layer on top, it’s right there

There’s Lazy Nezumi, but it’s $35 and Windows only. If anyone knows of any other please let me know, it’s ridiculous Photoshop doesn’t have a brush stabilizer yet.

1) Select a paragraph from the selection here that strikes you as the most significant component of what he is saying.  Explain why and elaborate upon what Crary has written.

“Rather, the effectiveness of 24/7 lies in the incompatibility it lays bare, in the discrepancy in between a human life-world and the evocation of a switched on universe for which no off-switch exists.” 

This paragraph goes on about how no one could be shopping, or reading or doing anything 24/7. But it’s about how we do so much with our time that we couldn’t possibly say someone does exactly one thing for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

2) How does Crary talk about specifically the visual and visual experience in terms of the digital?

He says that in terms of digital it will all be epoch, a period of time in history or a person's life, typically one marked by notable events or particular characteristics.

3) Compare Crary’s take to Kevin Kelly’s take from last week.  Do you tend to agree more with one or the other?  Can either of these opinions be reconciled with the other?

I think I agree more with how Kevin Kelly explained his point of view. He brought about it in a way that you didn’t question what you already knew, but rather added on to what you already know.

1) Kelly traces the history of “technology” in a general sense.  Do you agree with this history?

Toward the beginning of his speech, he speaks of how technology is not the idea of whatever came to be after your own birth, but rather anything that has helped further our civilization. Which, I believe, we should teach everyone. I was taught this way in school and it surprises me that there are students who don’t see that the little advances made in the beginning of civilizations were the start of huge domino affects centuries later.

2) How would you summarize the way that Kelly describes technology?

He describes technology how it came to be. From tiny discoveries, that lead to bigger ones.

3) How can we see these creative programs, such as Photoshop, etc., through this kind of lens/perspective?

Photoshop started in a dark room where photographers would develop film. The analogous idea of playing with light and using different kinds of reactions, finally came into the digital realm. Flash’s analogous beginning was drawing each individual movement onto a cell and creating something one frame at a time. What we have now started from something else and that’s what’s amazing!

Blog Post #10

1) Based on these essays, describe what to you seems like the most significant, distinctive element of internet art, and post-internet art.

what caught my eye the most from these essays was in  The Art in America’s: The Peril’s of Post-Internet Art. There was a line that goes something like: Post-internet art is art that looks good on the internet. This really struck me. Why create something that can only be well expressed on one medium? To get more views? Shouldn’t art survive trendshifts and be able to be appreciated across platforms, at least, that’s what separates the good from the great, in my opinion.

2) Compare and contrast internet and post-internet art. What are some similarities? What are some differences?

Both Internet and Post-Internet art are similar in that they are artworks that are spread over the internet. What makes each of them different is that they Post-Internet is made specifically for digital distribution and is created for and from the internet.

3) Go out into the web - and through google, or perhaps one of the links that Green cites, (or feel free to explore a resource like Rhizome.org that we looked at earlier) find an example of internet or post-internet art (not just an image of a painting on the web, but an actual artwork about or on the web).  Post a link to that example, and write a brief description of it as an art piece - do you like it?  Is it interesting, provocative, amusing, boring?

http://webenact.rhizome.org/studio-visit/20160229183537/http://awp.diaart.org/donegan/pilot.html

The only thing I can think this is, is perception is everything is everything. How you look at a corner can change how it looks. I personally don’t see anything substantial in the GIF, but that’s my viewpoint.

3) Talk a bit about these versions of internet/post-internet art as compared to more traditional art.  Do you see a place for internet art in our world, our museums, our art galleries?  How do you feel about a future where internet art could be just as important as oil paint on a canvas?

I think there will be a place for internet art in the near future. It’s interesting to see how people are using this as a medium and not just use it as publicity for their artwork.
