Post #12- Lecture- Photography and Printed media

 lecture- photography and printed media

History of media began 40,000 years ago. Ancestors painted walls on caves to leave a mark. Monks copied manuscripts. Did the bible by hand and took 15 months to do each bible. The printing press was created in 1450. In the 17th century the first newspaper was created. In 1804, the first steam powered railway was invented, and it circulated reading material. The offset press was created in 1853 and it printed large amounts of paper. Larger volume prints were more expensive. The digital press was invented in 1989 and it was very inexpensive. The first picture taken was in 1826 or 1827 by Joseph Miepce which was very blurry and grainy. The Daguerreotype was invented in 1839 and it had 15 mins of exposure time, and there the first people were captured in a picture. Calotype was created in 1840 and used paper covered with silver iodide. Collodion was created in 1851. It was a wet plate process that revolutionized photography. It was 20 times faster. Matthew Brady too pictures of the war and put them in Newspapers. In the late 19th century pictures were added to the newspaper. Etienne Jules Marey took pictures of movement. Made the invisible, visible. Chronophotograph was invented by Marey, and it used a photographic gun that could shoot at 12 frames a second. Eadweard Muybridge was a pioneer the captured time on film. He used many cameras to capture movement in time. Louis Le Prince was the father of cinematography. Shot the first movie by his house using a 16-lens camera and a 1 lens camera. Le Prince disappeared without a trace while going to patent the camera/film. Thomas Edison took credit for things that he didn't invent. William Dickson invented the film strip. He also invented the Kinetograph which creates the illusion of movement. The Kinetophone project was the first attempt to record sound and a moving image synchronized but it failed. The Lumere brothers invented the cinematograph, which is a 3 in 1device that can record, develop and project motion pictures. George Melies created special effect techniques in motion pictures. He was known as the wizard of cinema. The Kodak #1 camera introduced amateur photography and Digital camera gave more outlets to pictures taken. The Studium is the visual info in a photograph and the Punctum is what the viewer reads in the photograph.

Post #18- LECTURE - ELECTRONIC MEDIA and PERFORMANCE

 Experimental film is performance art with a camera. It doesn't have to tell a story, or it doesn't have to have a message. It can relate to deep feelings or messages, or it can also be very boring. It was social and personal expression. There was no wrong answer. 9 evenings and theatre and engineering were becoming performance and technology. It was Avant Garde. Anything is art. Scientists began to create art. EAT (experience art and technology) was many people coming together to create art. It showed collaboration of art and technology. Electronic art works with technology! Father of video art Naum June Paik purchased the first Sony portapak. He created a brand-new art form.... Video Art. He also created the Magnet T.V. The electronic superhighway was to say that someday we will be able to connect from anywhere. David Halls TV interruptions was an installation of seven video works that were initially commercials, but it was to just relax and leave the world for a couple of mi...

Raphael created the School of Athens with those of the highest authorities doing norm...

Post #2 Raul Cuero

 Post #2- Raul Cuero I very much agree with Raul Cuero. Being able to innovate is having something added onto, but being able to invent is way more important because we get to be a part of something new.  Everyone can be creative especially those who want to invent something are more creative than those who want to innovate on something that has existed. Everyone has their own creative mind and I agree with what he said over being you and your own inventor.  In my daily life, I can apply what Raul said, by being able to not follow instructions that were given but being able to innovate them and apply and invent new ones that can get me a better end result. Rues to need to be followed but being creative is by following them, but being able to do it in your way.  Notes from short video watched in class: The pheromones are molecules that make a connection when the temperature gets higher.  Information you pick up, you need to apply it to be knowledge, if you don't ...
