Innerview Interview

I didn't watch this whole interview, but I found James pretty interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoFkqLKPAL0

What I learned from this Class

My major takeaway from this class is that I learned that I don't hate art as much as I thought I did. To be honest when class started I thought art was a waste of time, more of a past time than a career. I didn't see how art could make any contributions to society, however; my views have since changed. I now understand the impacts that art can have.

Favorite Project - Triptych!

My favorite project was the geotagging triptychs we created. I enjoyed created an homage to my home city and sending it to Primanti Bros! While I was home I asked if they received it in the mail and they did. The manager gave me my sandwich for free!

Triptych Art Info

Here is some background info and interesting tidbits about triptych art.

New Media Installation in Seattle

"Lean-out, Lean-to was triggered by an encounter with an inventive truck canopy turned shed in a quiet neighborhood in Spokane. The multi-media installation revolves around a sculptural interpretation of that make-shift shed as a monolithic chamber of secrets. Through stop-motion animations of enigmatic and obscured landscapes and recordings of animal mimicry, distress, and song, the Jack Straw New Media Gallery will be altered into a stage set for a forgotten story." http://www.jackstraw.org/

Video Art

Considering we had to do a video as our final project I thought this would be something neat to share. The link contains "50 great works of video art." http://flavorwire.com/399191/50-great-works-of-video-art-that-you-can-watch-online. I like number 2.

Interventionist Art

While I was gone I don't know if you guys discussed the history and meaning of interventionist art. Here is some info it I thought I'd share. http://www.massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=38

Discover New Media Artists

I'm assuming that this is some girl's blog, however; the blog has a ton of links for new media artists.
