Post #15- Reading, GRQ, and Discussion- Arson and Mansfield modern art excerpts.

 Discussion- What message is Andy Warhol trying to communicate to his viewers?

Andy Warhol was eating a hamburger in silence as a normal human being. The only thing different was that it was being videotaped. Andy Warhol's message was to just say "anything anyone does is art." We humans may eat a hamburger differently than Warhol. In the video, he took the top bun of the hamburger, and he folded the bottom bun with the patty, and dipped it in ketchup. It was like a taco. His video was a bit of a performance art piece because he was just doing a normal activity that any person does (eat) and for some reason we were really appealed to see someone else eat something that we've eaten before. This also, goes with the idea that many humans are obsessed with the fact of knowing what celebrities do in their daily lives, but I always think that they are humans. They eat hamburgers. They brush their teeth in the morning. They have bad breath in some moments. It is a normal thing that might seem out of the ordinary for others to just see someone eating a hamburger in front of a camera.

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 ...
