Week - Art Activity - Remix

 

  • Photos or videos of your project. Or audio or data or whatever is appropriate.
  • Describe what you tried to do
  • Do you think you were successful? Why or why not?
  • Did your project come out somewhere other than what you expected when you started? Or did it go mostly as you envisioned?
  • Can you think of examples of mashups you have experienced or noticed out in the world?
  • What do you think of the Girls Around Me app? Is it cool? Is it creepy? Should it be illegal? If it is not illegal, who should protect us from software that many people see as predatory?
  • Name your Medium post: Week 4 – Art Activity – Remix


Through this very bad drawing of faces, I tried to show one's outside appearance versus what is happening inside. I think it was somewhat successful as the words show the real meaning of the words one says to another, but the picture is a little shitty (not an artist lol). I wanted to show that society expects everyone to be perfect and happy, but in reality, most of us are not happy or perfect, so we learned how to wear a mask for others. The mask is on just to avoid people's criticism in our lives and their "tips" even though they have no idea what a person deals with. The example that I have seen out in the world is what I do daily when someone I don't know starts having a conversation with me. I've seen my friends and family do the same thing. The Girl Around Me app is very creepy, someone knowing your location and yes it should be illegal. Anything that puts someone in danger and is aware of it should know the consequence.

Week 3 - Artist OTW

Image
Show a few samples of their work and discuss what they’re doing, how they work, and why you find it interesting. Compare and contrast your artists. What things do they have in common? How are their ideas or processes or media different? Eduardo Kac -   The GFP bunny - he took a rabbit and implanted it with a green fluorescent protein found in jellyfish, when it was placed under a blue light would glow bright green. He made this piece to show that the nature of an animal or plant can be altered. I found this interesting because he wanted to show that if life is more than just what nature makes, it can be changed without harm.   Genesis - he implanted base pairs of genetics into an unspecified bacterium. This piece of work was to make a statement about inherited change is not the only option. I found this interesting because most of his work involves change that can be done besides inheritance.  Stelarc -   In this piece, he had his body be controlled remotely by elect...

Week 2 – Artist – Tom Sachs & Johanna Fateman

Image
  Compare and contrast – discuss how each artist works. Can you characterize any core ideas or concepts or working processes for each artist? Give examples of some of their work and describe what you think they are trying to say with that work. How do zines fit in with their work? What does their work mean to you? Does it strike a chord with you? Or is it too different from your life experience to relate to? Or is it a different that affords you the chance to think about things you haven’t thought about before? Johanna Fateman - she seems like a free soul that brought attention to girl power, her work seems more like hobbies as she moved from one to the next and never really seeing one through for a long period of time. She showed her beliefs through writing, music, and as a producer. Although she did change her job she still showed the same message that women matter. ArtaudMania!!! The Diary of a Fan was the first piece of work where she was openly able to express everything she w...
