Proposal:

Blood Mess
What I would like to do for my next project is a small GIF of a blood spill coming out of the 5th floor elevator in the Fine Art's building. I would record a short video/set of photos of spilled red nail polish. Then edit the short video/set of photos on photoshop and turn it into a GIF. I want the viewer to wonder what caused this blood puddle. The blood puddle will be slowly expanding that could have been caused by many scenarios. The moving blood puddle could have been caused by a murder, representing death and violence.

Reading Assignment #7

This article made me raise a lot of questions about our society and our government. For example, our society privileges advertisements and consumerism in our physical and visual environment. Why can't we be surrounded by art to help us raise questions or challenge our way of thinking? I believe our public spaces is a reflection of our culture, does this mean that our culture only thrives off consumerism? I feel the way we interact with our public space needs to be challenged and having augmented art pieces is a great way to change our capitalist consumerist ways.

Does anyone find the Public Ad Campaign beneficial as a psychological investment?

Project #3: Materialized

For my 3D conversion I chose to make this blocked pyramid. My idea was to have it look like a pixelated traffic cone. My process for my 3D conversion was to build it on Google SketchUp and convert it to a 3D model. I chose to build it from small cut up wood pieces, then painted it by matching the color.

Art Between the Digital and Physical World made me realize that pixel, glitch art is very intriguing because our day to day lives are becoming more involved or dependent on technological advancements. Having glitch sculptures in our environment or pixel art opens our eyes to the way we view our physical environment. Through distorting pieces from the norm, is very radical, in my opinion.

Many beautiful pieces can be created using 3D printers or just sculpting.

For example this glitch sculture piece:
