Project 3 - Supercut

Dumpster Fire

Artist Statement:

Originally, for this project I wanted to take cuts from my favorite Netflix show, Bojack Horseman of Bojack saying certain phrases. However, looking at a lot of my other work in this class and others, I noticed I tend to choose easy subjects that are not a challenge to work on, things that I know I can make look good or finish without any serious complications. I focus on silly, light-hearted subjects… things that the world could probably live without.

Something the world could live without but had to deal with anyways? The pandemic. 2020. Quarantining. I know that videos encompassing 2020-21 are out there, but we were given a supercut, 1 minute limit challenge. I decided to find clips from news videos of challenges and issue from 2020 as I could, and fit as many as I could into this project. Although I failed to keep my video to a minute (and ten seconds), I found it challenging to narrow it down to just that. I took out at least 5 other major events from 2020, and I was still sitting at a 1 minute and 45 second video. For context though, I started with around 6 minutes of recorded clips. All that being said, here we are, 2 years after that dumpster fire of a year started. Here’s a look back on what we went through.

Project 3: One Minute Supercut

Expecto Patronum ✨

For my Supercut, I decided to use clips from my favorite movie franchise, Harry Potter. For the repeated theme within each clip, I chose the phrase or spell, Expecto Patronum, and I only used clips of Harry Potter using the spell. Surprisingly, I only found that he used that spell around five times throughout the films. I chose this specific spell because I thought that it was beautiful and heartfelt. The spell translates to ‘I expect (or await) a guardian’ and is used against Dementors, dark creatures that feed on human happiness. The spell is a projection of positive feelings and happy memories, and I wanted to gather every moment that Harry had to use it.

Project 3: 1 Minute Supercut “Fiona’s Breakdowns”

When it comes to things like television and movies I hardly find myself getting wrapped up in the emotions being portrayed by the characters. I may feel stress because of unresolved conflicts or the excitement of being on the edge of my seat at the climax of a storyline, but truly feeling the struggle and desperation of a character is not a feeling I’m familiar with.

When it comes to Shameless, however, the feelings and scenarios portrayed by Fiona Gallagher are all too real to me, and is one of the few characters that I cry with. Her struggle to keep everything together while she’s actively falling apart is a feeling that cuts deep for me and for many others, so for this project I wanted to display just some of the moments I really resonated with her in this way. Her strength and perseverance despite all the odds stacked against her (for those unfamiliar, raising all 5 of her siblings because of her absent, mentally ill, and addicted parents) are traits that inspire me, even if the story is fictional.

This was really well done! I haven’t watched Shameless in so long, I may have to jump back into it

Roselee Goldberg - Performance: A Hidden History

The art form known as performance can be and has been questioned as a whole throughout time. This is due to its content usually being created from a collaboration of other art forms coming together. It’s said that the relationship between the performer and the audience is key, and the artists/performers manipulate the viewer through their understanding of their act and its contents effect. This is why the basic idea of the form is widely popular, and many different ages or backgrounds can appreciate some sort of performance because it can be anything from a frightening horror movie to a stand-up comedian. Many think that performance is the easiest way to convey a work of art and its meaning, and after this reading I think I may have to agree.

Project 2: The Loop

My series of GIFs center around a shocking or climactic moment in movies or television, a moment of intense emotion that is often followed by tragedy or conflict. I remember watching these moments and events for the first time and all of them got some sort of reaction out of me, whether it be dying of laughter, scooting forward to the edge of my seat or making a face of pure disgust. My thought process told me the best way to try and get reposted was to make people relate in a genuine way, and I hope that others also relate to these wild moments and remember how they felt after consuming them for the first time.

South Park GIF I made, don’t worry Kenny recovered from this.

"into their eyes"

roansblogg

These are way too good, some of them give off a super uncanny kinda mood while others like the image with the old man’s eyes add depth in an emotional way. They all have a lot going on but the way they’re layered and balanced is great and super visually pleasing.

"Bonding Cycle"

Analog Approach

The title of this series is “Bonding Cycle” and it’s an analog collage on paper. As human beings, we build and undo affective ties throughout our lifespan. Through this series of collages, I capture the cycle of human relationships. "The encounter" is when two people cross each other's paths and voluntarily--or involuntarily--establish a bond, it can be friendly, romantic, etc. "The union" captures the moment where both parties consolidate and strengthen a bond through experiences, knowledge, or affection. Finally, in "The consummation," is when the relationship comes to an end.

Hi Ruth! I love the concept of your work! When I was first brainstorming ideas, I was considering doing something similar to what you did so I really enjoy seeing how it turned out! Did you intend on the final product to look like this or were you trying to take a different approach? Due to you using the images you did the way you did, you did a great job of showing emotion in these images. Really nice work!

kayaschaap

seriously amazing the emotion you convey with these pieces. the string, the images used to fill the people, all of it has such a clear message and the title you chose plays into this idea perfectly. it looks like you did this analog, and i would’ve loved to see it in person.

The use of color in things like the eye and the string and the person in the last image is effective in unifying the three pieces as well as adding to the emotion that comes from this project.

‘Women’s Space Route’

Digital Media

As I was brainstorming ideas that would be perfect for this project, I knew that ‘Women’ would be an amazing thing for me to photoshop. I have not really done collages, so I had to do some research and look for outside ideas to inspire me to create these. In each image I have incorporated women doing something that shows the beauty and the talent that we have. I tried to use different environments and types of images to create something new and cool! In the process of this project, I was torn between doing something that was beautiful to me and something that really said something about the word. this resulted in me using women and nature in the same image. I believe that women are very underrated in this generation, and I wanted to show just how strong and beautiful we are!

The contrasting colors and textures are super cool, especially in the Flower Girls image, it would be a cool poster.

Reading and Response 2

Reading about GIFs and the history behind them was surprising and opened my mind a lot; I sort of overlook them nowadays, almost like they’re outdated or overused. I didn’t really think about how long ago the concept of what we know as a GIF could’ve been created but learning about Edward Moybridge and his works definitely caught my attention. I also wasn’t really aware that they held these GIF exhibits mostly back in the 2000’s where artists could set up their laptop or iPad or whatever and display their GIF on repeat in a gallery sort of fashion. A lot of those GIFs were sold as a file, which would be exclusive to the buyer and technically taken down from public viewing, which made me realize how similar GIFs are to NFTs, basically an evolved modern day version. This also made me realize how wrong I was about GIFs being outdated, they clearly still have a huge influence on the internet and now that influence is growing larger than ever.

A Thousand Horizons

Dongjoo Seo (KR)

A Thousand Horizons combines CG and the repetitive page-turning of a book, captured through an unfamiliar perspective. Through the constantly expanding and changing horizontal landscape of the symbolic time of ”day,” it explores the digital and analog media’s temporal, spatial, and material properties, metaphorizing human reason, action, and interaction. It poses questions about the being between macro – micro, external – internal, conceptual – abstract, real – fantasy, nature – artificial, body – mind, captivating visitors into a synesthetic experience.
