Project #4

https://youtu.be/CXZyJj-VbWY

I’ve tried to live very minimally lately. I don’t want to make an impact; I want to stop consuming. I want to find balance and be ok with existing. You know, be the best you, you can be. Everyone is hiding something. It can actually be really comforting to have secrets, something only you know. Where does that line become a concern. Where can you go to dull your senses. Do you need to tell your secrets to someone? Learning is food for though, have you been eating? Why do the good die young?

Project #3 Vanishing & Becoming

https://youtu.be/8uxRZGpPczE

For this project I wanted to seem as though I was building something in the dark. I have been feeling in the dark lately. As i get information, theres more being built before my eyes go blurry and I have to zoom out and stay there to watch as the information overlaps itself and covers what is the main question or meaning, depending on the circumstance. There is so much that is happening at ground level, but even in its beauty, it is just a shadow housing the lies. What is the difference between staying above and watching it happen; or being the one building and not stopping until light has been shown on it.

I’ve always found it intriguing to think about all the billions of simultaneous events happening around the world at any given moment. All the various things that are going on in people’s lives and how varied they are…especially if you contrast people from different countries and social stratification. How would that look? How would that open my eyes to what goes on around the world? And to the privilege that I enjoy every day? It begins here with this little tiny project that I did for the assignment which was to perform a one-minute, live performance that we documented with video or photography and then post. I asked friends to video themselves for a short period of time at the very same time and day and then I compiled the videos. I was the common moment in the video. I hope it is as interesting to you as it is to me.

Exercise #3 Music Video

It’s me…so I chose a video of something from nature, starlings flocking, and put it to music written by my kiddo (he’s eleven).

The Breakfast Club | Young Dumb and Broke, Kalid

project for my 4D class

This exercise was a little hard because my computer was acting up, but when I actually got to work with the video and the audio it was pretty easy!

I think my video is funny because the audio and movie I choose to do work so well together!

Reading Response #3

Vanishing & Becoming:

“The world we see is but a reflection of a reality that escapes its reflections.” This Buddhist myth threw my head for a whirl to start this reading and gave me foresight on what this reading was about to entail. From my past I have heard of Plato’s, projections on the walls of the prisoners dwelling and that they would eventually be lost in the that the projections were their reality; and the logic behind testing this. The reading goes on to say that the beginning of art lies in projected light. Pulling from other parts of the reading, it’s argued that light is not only the beginning of art, but more the beginning of life. I think my biggest take away from this article is that light was the first expression of a viewer being able to view something other than themselves.

Chapter 6: Time and Motion:

Time and motion come in two different forms; implied and actual. Artists have spent years’ worth of time dedicated to expanding, contracting, or making you think that time is moving at a different pace in comparison. I liked the statement, “Always changing, never twice the same”. Art is forever changing and most commonly not the same, even if it is a re-creation. In the reading it talks about time in chronology, the duration, and the tempo at which time is expressed. The rate at which art is made, and at which art is viewed came to be a commonality in the reading. One example that I would like to talk about is, The Quintet of Remembrance. The photo makes it a still moment in time, but the expressions conveyed are that of shock, grief, compassion, rapture, anger, and fear. It weighs on my heart to think that all these people are sharing a common space, but are all in their own world or time in which they are not themselves. The grieving process is un-calculable, while shock is a second or two in actual time.

Reading Response #2

GIF’s are part if an artistic expression that has faced many challenges to be considered art among the public and collectors. The temporary and everlasting nature of the internet will forever make GIF’s a part of the known world. GIF’s are temporary in the amount of times it is passed around the internet until the fad wears our is it surpassed by another. There is such a deep network of people or communities that have incubated this kind of art. A lot of GIF’s have really stretched the concept of time; the mention of a pregnancy broken down into a 2 second GIF. Most of us have grown up with GIF’s but for me personally, I never though of them as deep routed in the art community as they have become today.

This one is super bubbly and fun, and the animation is so well done.
