Animated GIF

For my animated GIF I drew out the girl figure and photoshopped her for the graphic effects. I placed her in my kitchen surrounding her by open beer bottles and spilled pills. I wanted this girl figure to show her deadly combination of beer and pills making her hallucinate. Her hallucinations include bright neon colors and as if she was melting away.

The Sensorama Simulator device is a very interesting piece where you can use many senses.
This reminded me of the ride at California Adventures in Disneyland.
I believe it's called soaring over California.
It inputs sense and movement as well as visual.

Do you think these devices should only be used for entertainment purposes?

Assignment #4

“Pixels and Places- Video Art in Public Space“ 

It's interesting how video art is not a permanent piece as compared to graffiti being constantly painted and erased as well. 

Reading Assignment #3

Having the digital coming into the physical world is a very exciting and interesting that makes us view art in a new perspective. I like the idea of sculptures turning into pixels. It kinda makes me want to do something similar to some of these projects

Pixel piece:

"Cardinal Sin"- Banksy

"The sculpture, a bust of a priest with its face removed and replaced by bathroom tiles to create a pixelated effect, is believed to be a comment on the sex abuse scandal that has overtaken the Catholic Church and its subsequent cover-up. The obscuring of the face through the bathroom tiles mimics the pixellation technique used to mask the identity of victims, an image frequently associated with the stories of sex abuse occurring in the Church." -HuffingtonPost

Question: Does anyone agree with James Bridle idea of New Aesthetic's biggest problem being a rip off from modern Aesthetic.

Description: An abstract collage of Los Angeles 10 years ago. I drew out and scanned the drawings. I used photoshop to color in the drawings.

Assignment #2

“Cut and Paste: Charlie White on the Collage Impulse today” by Charlie White

-It is interesting to see how far collaging has come, from the DaDa Movement all the way to now. I do agree with this article on how the adolescent youth has turned the collage aspect from something political, individual self of expression to a more commercialized consumer self of expression. 




-Would anyone consider the commercialization of collaging art?
