final

U

My pieces convey what is photography and what is photomanipulation. I took a photograph with a flash, a pressure sensor and a lightbulb. Using these materials I took several exposures in one frame. I could have done this with Photoshop but that would take all the fun out of making it in camera. Manipulations I did for my pieces is the same mutilations you can do in the darkroom.

There are things that we never see in the moment like a funny face on a tennis player or the Prince Rupert's drop exploding. For my final I want to take one of these moments and Manipulate it and then print it out. If you guys know any high-speed big prints you want to see let me know.

YOLO

anxiety

    I did a representation of what my blog would look like an art gallery inside of minecraft.I wanted to have my past blogs inside of the gallery with a artist statements. Not writing a artist statement give me anxiety so one I did write the next artist statement it snowballed and I didn't want to do a artist statement because of the anxiety they gave me. Every time I tried to write a artist statement I would get halfway done and it would've been up to 12 hours later. That sounds like a long time but it was me doing other things and trying to write an artist. I would sit down and write a sentence and then find something on Facebook or YouTube and not realizing it it would be a half hour later before I got mine at next sentence. Another factor that stop me from finishing my artist statement is a eating disorder I've been dealing with. I have gallstones and if I eat too much food like Taco Bell I'll get stabbing pains right at the bottom of my right rib cage. After going to the hospital to find out what this pain is I stopped eating food stop the pain.after losing 35 pounds I could eat food without really getting sick.So I started binging. I would sit down and try to write something then for no apparent reason I get up and go eat food until I almost vomit.so doing my blog inside of minecraft sound like an easy way of getting over the hurdle of writing an artist statement but still there is no artist statement inside of this minecraft world. So I guess and say that I was a victim of this always connected society were living in where North Korea and cat videos somehow become better than trying to write an artist statement.
   the message I wanted to convey was that you can create the art gallery at the bottom of the cavern and that you can have whatever you want like. it's impractical to making our gallery at the bottom of the cavern but in this virtual space I can do it and if no problem and it doesn't seem out of place.

homework 4/1/13

1.one of the biggest consequences is we loose the conception of death. In games like COD, BF,and MOH to kill someone is no more or less than playing tag but to know, when you are looking down the sights of a gun and about to pull the trigger , you are going to change history is something you will not learn playing tag.
a benefit is having the world at your fingertips
2.technology will always change so the way we make and experience art will always change but to appreciate because of a new median is the something we have been doing since the dawn of time.
