Grid Art

-




For the grid art assignment I decided to do H3H3 from his Vape Nation video because I wanted to make something inspired from something I enjoy, so it expresses more of who I am. I used beads and it creates this cool effect when you lift the piece up where you can see through the beads so it makes the actual image harder to see.

Performance Art

For the performance art project I was inspired originally inspired by Tatsumi Hijikata for the creepiness of his animation, but I soon discovered Benjamin Bennet, who had also managed to create an air of creepy by sitting motionless for hours. I wanted my performance to be a contradiction, in that I am lit up to symbolize the light of life, but remain motionless to create this kind of unnatural feeling to see if that contradiction would unsettle people. That response of being unsettled was what I mainly got from people, especially kids. I was mistaken as a statue until people walked past and I could see them kinda jump and stare at me as they walked past, most people were afraid to get close to me which I found interesting because I was essentially just sitting still, nothing that people would say they get creeped out by, but upon being faced with it they would keep about 10 feet away. For the technology aspect, I wrapped myself in battery powered string lights, which made peopl...

Final Video

For the final video I decided to edit clips of mass shootings together and add audio from debates and interviews on top that slowly overlap to the point that you can't understand anything that's being said. I wanted to do this because I feel like society and news network politicize shootings to the point that the conversation gets lost and nothing will get done. The video reflects how I see every debate about gun reform go where they stop talking about the lives lost and instead focus just on the guns and what they would do with their guns and just forget that it isn't about them, it's about the lives being lost because the U.S. Government can't make a decision on how to solve the issue at hand. It becomes more of a debate about whether there is a gun issue or not. Which obviously there is an issue with guns in America. That's what the video clips I used show. The high number mass shootings in America is a product of the gun culture of America. I didn'...

When I watched Pjotr Sapegin's animated version of Madame Butterfly  what really struck me was the ending where Madame Butterfly, whose name I later learned is Ciocio-san, essentially kills herself by disassembling herself and from those parts she transforms into a butterfly and goes on to repeat the story. It'd seemed like it was a true tragedy because she was forced to go through the story infinitely. I think Sapegin really wanted to use the story to reflect on a part of U.S. history that is often not even brought up in a classroom. The aftermath of WWII and the Vietnam War with the U.S. soldiers getting sexually involved with the women of those countries is never really mentioned in U.S. education as it would ruin the perspective the public has of U.S. soldiers being very honorable people. After watching the animation I looked up the synopsis of the actual opera and the differences between the opera and the animation do change the story but not necessarily in a bad way. Th...
