Vimeo Interactive Art Video
So interactive Art is pretty exciting. For you to be the viewer and also helping the artist to create the art is like creating a piece of history (even though it fades away)
Golan Levin
Watching the interview of the questions and answers of Golan was pretty interesting to watch. To watch some one in 3D was pretty cool. His side profile seem almost fake. Like he was computer generated. Even though some of the shots flickered it was pretty cool, to see this type of technology being used.
Comments
Michelle- I loved the voice overs in your video. The effects you had as well was really cool. Including videos for the past was great idea as well.
Megan- I got the message that the stereotypical women has completely changed and due to that we no longer care that it is causing us to be obese.
Juan- Your video has a lot of angry, and was very disturbing, but in the end the final message was very motivational.
Lauren- The disney princess was a great idea. I got that message that even though we grew up believe that life is this big fairy tale only you can decided if its going to be a happy ending.
James- You music was awesome. It reminded me of old video games.
Maria- even though I don't understand Spanish, it was very powerful and by how moved you were it meant a lot to you. Great job
Erin- I loved the effects on your video. I was i could have seen more of you.
Nakota- your video was amazing, home videos of special moments in your life is always a positive message to remind yourself that life had good times.
Chris- you video was so good... the creativity was amazing, the song was so moving. And she didn't deserve you anyways. :)
Arielle- Using a moment to remember how dangerous and naive you where is always a good message to yourself to look back. I'm sure this video will make you smile.
Brian- I wish we could have seen the video but I only got the message to remember to be you which is very powerful in itself.
Sabrina- I would have loved to hear some music. The video was longer than assigned but the best part was being able to view you in the background.
Cody- I wish i could have seen you piece i'm sure it is fantastic.

Performance Art Piece
This was a very difficult piece for me to explain and do but it had to be done. Growing up there where a lot of things kept secretive from me. Finding out that I have other siblings and that I'm the child of Crack addict was very unbearable to shallow. Growing up and learning to let things go and realizing what day it age my biological mother was going through in order for me to develop into a adult I have to learn to let things go. So the project was based off What would you do if it was the end of the world. My project was to forgive my Carol Thomas.
Rare 70's Electronical Music -Hunger Games
So the Movie Hunger Games is out now and it was a huge hit even before the movie came out the book was a major success. I haven't had time to go see it yet but of course the soundtrack it going to be a big deal for multi-mill dollar movie. So the sound 'Sediment' from the soundtrack is causing alot of buzz for Electronic music lovers because the composer ( Laurie Spiegel) used an old almost extinct method to create the sound. The track was composed in 1972, and she used an analog synthesizer and old-school tape machines.
Flash Mob
So since i'm a huge MJ fan all of mines are on him :)
Thriller
Beat It
They Really Don't Care About Us!

Sheryl Oring
So in class we discussed Sheryl Oring, the artist who dresses up as a 50's secretary and does 'I wish to say letters' to the president for everyday people and she delivers them to the president. This gives every day people to really express how they feel to the president about issues that are happening in their lives of themselves and other around them. Doing just for the little people who feel like they don't have a say.

Joseph Beuys
Joseph Beuys was born in 1921. Growing up he was interested in natural sciences and art. He was involved in the war and was wounded. In his later life He became apart of FLUXUS. He created performance objects, installations, sculptures and drawings that was very challenge the normal intellect. So hearing about his project "I like America and America Likes Me " was very interesting to hear that he locked himself into a room with a wild coyote for 8 hours over 3 day. Watching a video of the performance the coyote looked like a playful dog was expecting a vicious beast. Never the less you would never catch me in a room with one.
Xerox Project and Comments
So I had no idea what to do for this project. So I decide to incorporate something I loved. vintage 80's and music is my life so why not a boom box. I thought that it was a very different approach since I was kind of winging it, but overall I am proud of my work. I would say the reactions of my co-workers watching me trying to put my foot on the machine was a sight to see.
Megan-Great idea to use an umbrella collage. I thought the inverted toes nails on the foot was really cool as well.
Cody- The hat was a very cool idea. It was very well done. Facial expression was awesome.
Sabrina-Very good idea it was very cool. I loved the entire project, even the background. I would have liked to see you incorporate your face into the project tho.
Bryan- I loved the worm. Great idea for a regular picture to be creative with your body. The sun was really cool.
Nakota- Wow! wonderful idea. It was very beautiful project and the meaning was beautiful.
Arielle- Great job with the contrast of the pictures.
Michelle- Great job. Funny idea of the sign dog, the the flatting the face was a great idea. Very nice.
Lauren- Great meaning behind the project the words, the picture was amazing.
James-cool Project! I saw a duck!
Kimberly- cool project! it me a idea of a pool of souls and an arm is reaching for them.
Erin- Awesome project! it is very beautiful. It looks very painted.
Juan- Good Job implementing a story into the project.
Christopher- Great project very cool, and beach theme. The sun is my favorite.
Maria- Cool Project! your different facial expression are awesome.
Grid Art Project
Lauren- I love the idea of beer tops and the theme of the beach. my fav is the palm tree.
Kimberly- It is so beautiful! The idea of the eye, the color scheme. Everything is on point!
Sabrina- I love the idea of Ms. Pac man and the idea to use beans.
Michelle- I love th eidea to support Kony 2012. I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking at but good job.
Megan- I love the idea of the stain glass and the flower. The project looks amazing.
Erin- I love the idea of Twiggy. It looks amazing. The colors, the drawing all fit together, but i did't really see the grid.
James- Inspiration of the project is cute. Good Job.
Juan- You mastered this project. The idea to use the buttons where a good idea. Great Job.
Christopher- You spent a lot of time on this project. It looks amazing. Creative job using straw bust. Great color theme.
Arielle- Really cool idea. You did a great job using the picture as the guide. I love the idea to the cherrios as the rode.
Cody- You did an awesome job. Using the color scheme and the tiny squares as the grid.
Maria- I love the Simpsons! Great project. The glitter makes the picture standout.
Nakota- The penguin is really cute. Really cool idea.
Eyes on the picture box
So my grandmother said that she really can't remember when she owned a tv. But she did explain to me about the tv's that you use to have to crank up in order to watch. She was staying with her grandmother at the time and they had to use a handle to crank up the television in order for it to work. She did say that her and her family would sit around an watch it but it wasn't a nessecities because they had so many other things to worry about such as chores, school , and taking care of the family.
