Experimental Imagery

I’m sure it is evident that I had not done any exercises for this paper but only because I felt like I’ve wasted enough time missing out on 2-3 wks because I kept changing my paper. So today I hope they take the work I am blogging now into consideration so that I could atleast utilise my skills and hopefully make up for what I’ve missed out on. With the help of my mates I was able to grasp onto some ideas for what was acquired of this paper. So far, I’m trying my best to finish this ASAP. I am aware that I’m submitting this late, but it’s worth the shot to present something. Today, I’ve realised that I’m the only one to blame for this mess, and for that I am paying the price of stressing out and failing to pass this paper. 

So far, I’ve learnt that Experimental Imagery is considering new forms of image production.  Experimental Imagery allows the photographer to utilise techniques that are uncommon with the “usaual” photography. Here is a really good reference I used to seek information- https://contrastly.com/experimental-photography-101/

Semester Thoughts.

As the semester is coming to an end so is everyone’s final projects. I have learnt a lot during this year. The main thing I learnt is that you cannot control everything, especially when it comes to everyday issues such as health and well-being. I have noticed during this particular semester my anxiety has been affecting my well being. I have struggled with coming to classes and doing my work in class. Although I have tried my best to come into uni as much as possible (I am currently in studio and it’s a Saturday). I feel more comfortable being around small groups of people and prefer working individually. One thing I did do to push myself out of my comfort zone was applying for positions in AuSM outside of class. I think next year I will try and push myself to talk to more people in BCT because I still barely know people in my year which is ashame considering we are over halfway now. Another issue was me becoming sick a numerous amount of times, I do not know how I have managed to become sick over three times in the short time frame of ten weeks. Now I am focusing on getting each paper sorted for final submission because I would like to pass each paper I have enrolled in for Semester Two. I am ambitious to complete my degree so am willing to put the effort in to pass year two. It is my responsibility to look after myself and I know I have to put in the hard yards to get anywhere and move forward. I am looking for 2016 and cannot wait to be in the real world.

Inspiration

http://www.art2day.co.uk/

This website inspires the aesthetic side of all of my projects. I find majority of my artist models of this site and their work influence the work that I produce. Specifically focusing on photography or art installations.

Today we visited Art Space on a field trip. We got to see a variety of videos from Andy Warhol through to contemporary artworks. This gave me an insight on how to further some of my performances and how to have a different perspective of screen.

Semester Two Update

I am back in Auckland ready to do all of my assignments. I got very sick before the mid semester break which through me off a fair bit. Now that I am better I can only do my best and carry on. For the last week of the break I would like to put in the effort to be up to date with all of my projects. It’s freaking me out to think that we do not have long to go before the end of year two. 

What I would like to achieve this week:

>Story-line and Concept finalised for Transmedia

>Weekly Tasks and Readings completed for Mediated Performance and Experimental Imagery

>More experimenting with sounds and recordings, watch more sound documentaries

These tasks will keep me busy when I am not working.
