Appropriation Assignment

                                                                                                                                                                               

I just basically grabbed photos from YouTube of different animals fighting and amusing boxing knockouts. I dropped the opacity on parts of the animals fighting to show the boxing knockout. There was no true meaning to me blending these particular videos together other than the act that there is a fight occurring.

Final Project Proposal

What is the concept of your final project? I'm going to have mirrors face each other and I am going to record myself splatter painting the mirrors.

Why does this particular subject matter interest you? I like the way it looks when mirrors face each other. It gives a "never ending" look. I want to see if i can catch that look while paint and color gets added to one of the mirrors.

How do you plan to make this concept visible through time-based media? I am going to record the process and take pictures of the process. So, even if it goes wrong, people can see the process of fail lol.

What ideas do you have for finished presentation? I don't know quite yet. I'm trying to picture how it would look projected onto a mirror. That may be a good idea, possibly. . . If not a mirror, just projected onto the wall with the painted mirrors next to the projection.

Performance Art: Everybody Say HI!!!

This is my performance art project called "Everybody Say Hi!!!" The video is a compilation of people saying "hi" The clips throughout the video were taken mostly on campus and at my apartment. I decided to do this because you never think about the many different ways people say hi. Each person has a different tone and way they present the word. Also, it was interesting to see how people reacted to saying hi to the camera. it seemed as though people I didn't know were more willing to say hi to the camera and my friends would give me a hard time and tell me no. It was kind of awkward with people I did not know though because I would just walk up to them and ask them "Can you just say hi to my camera?" They usually responded "Uhhhh, sure." Over all, it was a very interesting project. Hope you guys like it :)

I Was A Part!!

I was a part of Harry's performance art project, YAY!! I just love this picture so much I HAD to post it for everybody to see!! :)

Blah Blah Proposal

With this next assignment, I had the idea of recording my friends sit next to people when they are on the phone or studying and have them sit next to the person with a big awkward smile on their face. I want to try and get the persons first initial reaction. Now I just have to find a way of doing this without people getting pissed at me lol. I may have to inform them after the fact so they don't think I'm a creeper.

Peace Of Nature

I created this piece by going in the field and the woods by my apartment. I did not have a tripod, so i just placed my camera in various places. I sat in the woods and recorded my sounds as well.  I chose the woods because it is a very calm place that I enjoy going to just relax and think. I arranged the photos in no specific order, I just wanted to give a calm relaxing feel.
