Post #16- Lecture-FILM TV VIDEO

 Electronic media includes anything that has electricity. Samuel Morse was a painter before he invented the telegraph or got it patented before anyone else. He wanted to unite and communicate through art. Marconi made the radio. He sent the 1st radio telegram. Orsen Wells did a play on the radio about aliens invading the world. This terrified the nation. They used many tools and objects to create the sound effects to make it seem like there was a lot going on in the background. It ultimately was fake, but it scared and terrified many. The television was invented by Farnsworth. The mechanical television. John Logie Baird does a contraption called Selfridges used a hodgepodge of materials like tea chest, used biscuit box, and cardboard discs. The digital revolution led to the information age. Digital tech changed the way we communicated. Still to this day, we can't communicate without the digital tech. Digital is way more technologically advanced. Analog is a rep of information being communicated, clocks, radios etc. Digital gives discrete values like the digital watch. Star Wars Episode 1 was the 1st digital film. The disadvantage to the film is how expensive and how long the process is. Film does have a very authentic look, which gives many a reason to keep using it. Digital has a crispness and is less expensive to use. Electronic Media permeates people's lives. The information we know comes from electronic media (radios, tv shows, movies, news shows, etc.) Walter Benjamin was very suspicious of the television, film, and photography. The television is on with the basic click of the hand. The ye of a camera is very different than our own eyes. You take whatever is available, which he can see the power and danger of film. T.V is a distraction. Audiences don't care about what people write; they prefer what they see.

STORYTELLING PERFORMANCE

To start my storytelling performance, I will be in a dark room with only faint light gleams.  I will start with a very subtle authority taking voice.  Story: The Native Americans, the beginning. Outdoors and survival. The Romans. The colosseum with Outdoor entertainment. The pantheon. The Indoor entertainment. Byzantine Architecture. Hagia Sophia. Gothic Cathedral, the shape of a cross. St peters square brought the St Peters Basilica. Baroque Architecture. Baroque Theatre. The fourth wall was created. Baroque Operas. Music with dialogue. Farinelli, a revered singer. John Cage believed anything could be music. The Renaissance. High authorities were painted in the center. The rebirth that brought Humanism. Early or High Renaissance one with the body the other with earth. Brunelleschi had linear perspective. Alberti set up the rules for Renaissance painting. Perspective, Sculpture, Architecture. Raphael created the School of Athens with those of the highest authorities doing norm...

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 ...
