Post #13- READING GRQ AND DISCUSSION– MARGOT LOVEJOY – THE CAMERA AS ARTIFICIAL EYE AND THE INFLUENCE OF TOOLS

 Reading-

The reading provided was very inspirational through the eyes of the past. When photography and cameras were invented, they came with positive and negative reactions. Those reactions came from those who believed in art bring art no matter what and others who thought art was done by hand and by those who can only do it. The negatives were thought that "painting was dead." With this idea, many thought that art was only paintings and drawings and could not be any other form. The positives thought "photographs as references for their large formal paintings." This can be true through many different perspectives. Art can be viewed in many different ways. People can see art differently; it doesn't have to be through a photograph or even a painting or drawing. 


Discussion-

1.) What do I see in the photograph? The picture looks like past New York City, and the photographer got there at the right moment as a person was walking up the stairs from what could be the barber shop. Everything in the restaurant was very cheap compared to what the prices are today. The picture is also in Black and White, which can create any mood to a specific person or tone.

2.) How does it make me feel or what do I remember when I look at the picture? The picture makes me feel a little intrigued and interested into what the man was doing and of course finding out how the food at the restaurant tastes. The other thing that I feel is the sorrowful feel of the black and white color palette. Black and white can mean anything that it is sad or sorrowful, but I think it's just a normal day.

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...

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 ...
