This set turned out to be the best, in my opinion, of me.

Crowd Sourcing Project

This is my crowd sourcing project. I would love to see it made into an actual website, which would be of course much more thoroughly done and perfected but for the assignment given i feel it fits the requirements and works out beautifully. It was a fun, and comical project to work on and i hope all enjoy!

Photoshop gave me some difficulties but it turned out the way i projected it too and i am satisfied with the project overall, let's hope my classmates feel the same way!

CrowdSourcing Participation

1) -Man With A Movie Camera: The Global Remake http://dziga.perrybard.net/ 


i uploaded my video of my first video project here in my ART 245 class. It is a video reproduction, and it fit with the hash tag of putting up a poster, here is a screen shot with a link. Scroll down to view my upload, it begins with the picture of "What if?"

2) myamazingbutt.com, this website is one a fellow classmate made, portraying many different butts. I uploaded a picture of my girlfriends to participate, i felt that her butt would be much more attractive than mine. Here is a photo of the image i uploaded with a link to the website.

3) Young Me/Now Me project:http://www.zefrank.com/youngmenowme/, this website displays 2 photos of a timeone of an individual young and old imitating the younger picture. I uploaded my pictures from 8th grade to now well into college. Here are the 2 photos i uploaded with the bottom one containing a link to the website.

Disc Q's 4/16

1) According to the Participative Systems reading, because new media changes the process and the systems we use to make our art. Does the medium in which the audience views it change their role in the audience of the art? Or is it the same as old media, in which, an artist creates their piece of work, intending for the audience to view it whichever way intended, without the thought of the medium used? In other words, I feel that an artist creates their work through a medium they choose to correlate efficiently with the type and structure of the art constructed, not thinking that just because a piece is a painting vs. on computer will change the effect the creator had in mind. I am confused as to the overall role of the audience from the author.


2)  With a new emphasis on the audience and their role in artwork, are these categories truly descriptive when it comes to describing artwork? The author did say that the audience has always played a role in art, so why has it changed now due to a new, possible medium?

I hope you all enjoy. I did everything i wanted to do with it. While i wish i could have adjusted some of the decibel levels a little more i am still proud of the assignment and its outcome. The project is self explanatory, i love music so thats why i did it. i recorded the yellow, white, orange, purple, green and a portion of the blue videos.

Visual Lecture #2 Kevin Kremler 4/5/12

Kevin Kremler gave a lecture on April 5^th 2012 that I attended. This is the second lecture I decided to write about because I thought his artwork was intriguing. The lecture room itself was extremely packed come presentation time. Kevin had lots of friends and colleagues come, which I thought was pretty cool, but also nerve-racking. I thought for the attendance in the crowd Kevin did a great job. Public speaking is extremely difficult especially in front of family, friends, and other important spectators. For his presentation, I thought he was a little uninformed on his examples of the work he used to describe the type of artwork that he participates in. I felt that he did not know the names of each and every piece he showed and their authors, which I understand because it is a lot to remember and again, the public speaking factor always tends to show. Plus I saw him read from a card a lot, as if he froze up constantly, but again, quite understandable for someone in his position. Despite that, I really enjoyed his presentation. He discussed his process, which, as a beginning artist I appreciated because Its very helpful to see another artists form for his success. Kevin was also extremely funny and entertaining with his lecture. I enjoyed the comedy aspect, and so did the crowd. He was able to keep the crowd very engaged and open to his work. Overall, he presented for about 50 minutes and showed some great examples, but before I saw his gallery I did not understand whatsoever. I found it confusing that he did not show any of his artwork and just examples of other people’s that he went off of. This was until we went up to the gallery. He only had about 4 pieces but each one was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the shovel and colored sand. I thought it was a very complex design but beautifully mastered. As soon as I saw the gallery his presentation made complete sense. He was getting the audience hyped up to view his artwork. I’m sure most people felt the same way that I did about it and truly enjoyed the presentation and Kevin Kremmler’s artwork.

discussion q's 4/2

1) - what exactly is analog media? did the changing of digital representation change media altogether, in that, analog media was now more easily accessible and portrayable?

2) - Manovich says that numerical representation made media programmable, How exactly does this change the nature o media? Media is still media, now just used in a more accessible way
