FINAL PROJECT VIDEO ART PIECE . Subject: VIDEO DECONSTRUCTION Create your own video art piece with any available tools at hand ( DV Cams, Cell Cams, VHS tapes, DVDs, webcams etc...) Minimum 2 minute excluding credits, maximum 3 minutes including credits. N/B: The audio of your video art piece MUST be completely copyright free and totally created by you. I encourage you to explore whichever available audio tools you have at hand. Be resourceful. Use your own voice or any other sounds you capture. For My final project. I have always loved watching FanVids and how people can edit things to make a completely new story out of something(turning something happy into a horror or reverse.) I pulled from a lot of my favorite shows and movies(Teen wolf,Orphan,Doctor Who,Supernatural,The Hunger Games, ETC) just to name a few.  In the end I went with the theme of "being ones self" in a  sense  staying true to you and not letting others change who you are.  It can be pai...

ASSIGNMENT - A6 Inspired by ANY of the artists mentioned in class, record a 3 minute maximum video of your own performance art piece / Topic to be determined and more details to be given in class. No panhandling! Choose your three favorite performance artists and study how are they related. What do they have in common? Is technology an essential component in their work? Answer also this question “What is to be done” in the field of Performance Art. For my performance piece I chose to do it with a friend in class. Basically we got giant animal heads and walked around campus for a bit getting peoples reactions.  Should have chosen a different spot to film in because college campuses are pretty used to seeing some weird stuff already. Also wish we could have gone longer. My favorite part was seeing the little kids near the end. They were so happy and waving at us. With everyones not really reacting much it just comes to show that being "unique" or "odd" i...

XTRA X2 - ASCII art - explore ASCII art and image conversion. Looking up ASCII art was pretty interesting. Basically they are images that are created using letters or numbers. They can be used to make simple  pieces  or even intricate ones like the Mona Lisa.  It's very simple art to make because you can literally take any image and upload it into a converter that pops it out in the ASCII form. There are many different versions of this all you have to do is google it and scroll around all the examples. It's simple and fun to do if you want to see the break down of images into detail.

BLOG POST - B5  Considering the grouping I used for this module, choose 5 different music “movements” from the ones listed, and add one group/musician/performer to that category, especially related to the usage of technology. Why did you choose this artist? Why do you consider their work fits with technology and electronic music in their context? Post their works and your comments on your BLOGS. 1)For my first choice I chose the singer Kerli. She is labeled in many genres but I placed her into the genre Industrial/Goth out of the choices we were given. One of her genres is Goth Rock so I think it fits. Especially since even though her lyrics are "Goth" the music is pretty industrial sounding. With her beautiful voice and style she is labeled as the Queen of Bubble Goth for a reason. Add to that the almost industrial/electronic sounds she has to accompany her  vocals  it makes for some pretty amazing music.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWbBECR-gQU https:/...
