Death
https://streamable.com/wsx0p5
Death is a theme that all of the stories from Sabrina and Corina share. I’ve taken important quotes from each of the short stories and put them in this gif.
Unfortunately, the gif is too big and the only way for me to share it is through a link.
Reading and Response 5
Sabrina and Corina was surprising for me, but not necessarily from the stories. First as an assignment, an entire book to read, near the end of the semester, seemed daunting. As it turned out, it was an easy read, and I found myself blazing through each story in no time. I didn’t do any research beforehand, or even read the front or back cover, I just started reading the first story. Without the prior knowledge, I assumed this was a collection of stories from the author’s life. Then when I started noticing the narrator’s name was different than the previous, I still thought it was nonfiction, just stories from different people told by a single author. It wasn’t until about midway through that I decided to look it up and found out it was all fictional, and the stories didn’t have much to do with each other, at least on a surface level. I did like that small details connected them, like Sabrina’s grave being seen in Galapago; I’m sure there were more that I missed.
“performance”
One minute performance
For my one minute performance I decided to draw something, I drew Princess Hibana from the anime that I’m watching Fire Force , I enjoy drawing and it’s one of my favorite hobbies, may not be one of my best but I really liked it.
Song: Tank!-Seatbelts
Ps: i forgot my pen for the outline lol.
Overthinking
I really hate talking on the phone. I’m not great at communication in general, but having to make a phone call is something I especially dread. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friend, family member, work, or someone I barely know like the doctor’s office, I waste so much time agonizing about what I’ll say and how dumb I think I’ll sound. This is an abridged version of that process.
To record I couldn’t use my phone, luckily I was able to borrow a camera. The lens was too big so I wasn’t able to get quite the angle I wanted, but I don’t think it looks awful. Something else I hate is appearing on camera. I specifically chose a field where I could be behind the camera for a reason. If I could have done this project without showing my face, I would have.

Reading and Response 4
I’m glad that I took the time to watch the documentary before reading the piece by Coco Fusco. Going in blind, not knowing anything about what I was going to see, allowed me to engage with it in a way similar to those experiencing it in person. Had I done the reverse, her comments on the performance may have changed the way I viewed it. It really made me consider how I would have reacted if I had been there seeing it live. Would I have thought it was real? Would I have felt insulted finding out it wasn’t? Would I even consider the problems of having human beings on display in a cage?
I think this type of art needs to be seen to truly understand it. The Goldberg reading didn’t make much sense to me, because I had no context for what was being talked about. I don’t really know how to respond to this other than to say I didn’t understand it.
Art Project 3: Love Your Existence
Artist Statement
For this project I wanted to create a relaxing and philosophical short work of video art. I chose to focus on nature, mainly aerial footage, because I thought it lended itself well to the subject content. The audio is from an artist named @MoStFeAr, which also featured the lecture by Alan Watts. It was a much longer clip that I trimmed down to include the most poignant section of the track. I wanted to focus on ephemeral forces of nature that complimented the subject of human existence. Birth and death are the main components of both the audio and visuals, which I thought were represented well in each of the selected clips. I hope Watt’s ideas captivated you and the video complimented his brilliant and profound words. Works cited is located in the description.
Frantic Flames Engulf Colorado
Artist Statement:
With the fires increasing in size recently in Colorado, I chose to show the mass, damage, and destruction they have caused. Colorado is a beautiful state filled with many treasures. However, these fires are destroying much of the Colorado sites we all love. While I didn’t choose to focus much on firefighters fighting these fires, prayers and thoughts are with these brave men and women risking their lives to save others and put these frantic flames to an end.
A Surfside Supercut
It actually took me a minute to think of a cool concept for this project, so I decided to just do a supercut video on something I love, which is surfing. I’ve always loved it as a kid, especially after watching Johnny Tsunami. There’s something about the flow of the sport, and the idea of people riding waves that I’m just fascinated with. I am proud of this work, but I actually am not as proud as the music video project we just did. I thought editing this these clips to fit the song was difficult because I was trying to leave as much video left untouched so people could see most of the clip. I was pleased though to find a highlights video from moments in 2019 from Surfer Magazine, so it made the process a lot easier in editing the clips; and the music is something I made awhile ago too, so that made the project easier as well - I thought it fit well with the concept I was trying to create.
If you do enjoy the song please go listen to it on my Soundcloud!

Art Project 3 - Crabs Have Flippers
Please enjoy my silly video about crabs swimming!
Artist Statement: For this project, I wanted to make something a bit more lighthearted that made me laugh. Ocean animals are something I can cared about my entire life, even though living in Colorado made it difficult to see my favorites, I still enjoyed learning about them and all the weird things they do. Due to this I am filled with silly sea creature facts, one of them being that some crabs have flippers and can swim! Telling my friends this would make them skeptical and it always made me smile when I would show them a video of a crab using it’s little flippers to swim after a camera. This project was made with iMovie and a song from game I liked growing up as a kid. My hope is that this video can make you laugh or smile too, and let you learn a new fact you can impress your friends with!

There Is No Hero
The roles of hero and villain are important in almost every form of story, and the same is especially true in the world of professional wrestling. When the wrestler Bryan Danielson was able to express his passion for environmentalism through his character Daniel Bryan, he had to do so as a heel, wrestling’s term for villain. He directed his anti-consumerist and pro-environment message angrily against the audience and the company he worked for. What made him the bad guy wasn’t what he said, at least in theory. After all it is true that humans are destroying the planet. The problem was the way he said it.
Everyone he faced would criticize actions and his berating of the audience, but none would address the environmental aspect of what he said. What was truly missing from this story was a hero who shared his cause but acted in a likable way. By ignoring the core of his message, every “hero” was admitting to being complicit in damage to the world though ignorance or carelessness. When the villain is in the right and the hero is in the wrong, there is no hero. And if the only way for someone to be able advocate for the climate is in a negative light, then there is a serious problem with society.
Chris Jericho - Judas
Reading and Response 3
The Barrett chapter talking about time got me thinking of the movies from one of my favorite directors, Christopher Nolan. In several of his films he has played around with time. Inception has time spent in a dream last exponentially longer the deeper you go; seconds in real time can last years at the deepest parts of a dream. Interstellar uses time dilation caused by gravity from a rotating black hole; an hour on one planet takes seven years on Earth. Tenet has people moving through time in reverse. (Admittedly I don’t have all the details on this one, I really want to see it but I won’t be going to a theater any time soon.)
Nathan Fox’s The Other Army doesn’t seem any different from a comic or graphic novel. I’m not sure why the author would use that as an example, but then not mention comics at all. Comics have been using implied motion for decades. Are they not considered art because of the medium, or the stories they tell?
From the Cubitt reading, Gorky’s account of the theater showing a world not like our own because it was devoid of color contrasts well with today’s movies being full of color and life. We now have characters who are entirely computer generated, and don’t look out of place when standing next to actual people.

Art Project 2 : The Loop
As my theme I choosed to do flames and anime’s are a good way of demonstrating fire, these are some of the anime I really enjoyed watching and it was fun making gifs my favorite on is the help me it really captured a heroic moment , I was messing around trying to find the right moment on all the gifs I’ve created hopefully you will like some of these. Also can you recognize any of these anime’s let me know at the comment lol.
Growth. Fruiting. Reproduction. Deliquescence. Death.
Mycelium, the main body of the fungi, remains hidden underground. The fruiting body appears only after certain environmental conditions are met. Spores release. Nutrients are reabsorbed. The fruit dies or is eaten, giving back to the ecosystem.
Creativity, inspiration, ideas; stay hidden within the artist. The work appears, and is shared with the community. The artist learns, from the process, and from criticism. The piece enters history, providing inspiration to peers, to students, and dilettantes.
In these ways, the life cycle of a mushroom can be seen as a visual metaphor for the creative process.
Artist Statement 2: The Loop
I took the open theme for this project and went with something simple, my favorite game series: Kingdom Hearts. Other than that there isn’t much of a theme, I just chose bits I thought would look good as a gif.
As a Video Production major, I was fortunate to have access to not just Photoshop, but Premiere as well. So I downloaded the videos I needed from YouTube, then imported them into Premiere. From there I trimmed them to be the length I needed, then exported as an mp4. I then imported that mp4 into Photoshop and used the original method to make any touch-ups and compress it into a gif.
