Post #17- READING AND GRQ – THOMPSON AND BORDWELL - FILM AND VIDEO HISTORY KATE HORSFIELD - BUSTING THE TUBE

 Reading:

The reading was very interesting with extensions of what we learned in class during the lecture. The text was a bit long to keep all the information stuck in my head to remember, but overall, it did give some insight into how art has evolved and why it has changed. The definition is for sure nothing like the way it was thousands of years ago. Maya Deren is very inspirational. She acted in her films, but she brought new filmmaking and made it art. It's like performance art because it was so different. Also, talking about the evolution of the camera and seeing how we have come so far in quality and image. I wish we could read more about electronic media and how it had evolved throughout history, but art has fluctuated into a new meaning, and it does not consist of one thing. It will evolve and become more than just a word. 




Discussion: Do you spend 8 hours or more a day watching digital media?

In my opinion, it really depends on the day how much I am on my phone. If I am at school, or at work I will not be on my phone more than 2 hours a day. If it's a weekend or a day where we don't do much then my time will spend on any electronic device. When it comes to any other activities or things that I do that take 8 hours of my day, there is not anything else that I can think of unless if I can sleep in one day and sleep more than 8 hours. My phone is the biggest problem I have. I do spend a lot of time on it, and it is way worse than I thought. Ever since I started college, my screen time has been reduced by half. Yes, it's still a lot of time no matter what, but it my eyes, its progress.
