In the book, New Media in Art pgs 28-38, one of the things that I thought was interesting was how performance art got its start. And it was Jackson Pollock Lucio Fantana, and Shimamoto (36). The action was art. Canvas and painting were part of the medium of the performance. And some artists would record there performance and play them during the show. Which i thought was smart of them to do because it gives the audience a chance to see how the artist works. And perhaps the paint on canvas or whatever material was painted on was not the main focus. I love to splatter paint when I'm feeling anxious, angry, or even sad because its fun to get it all out on the canvas.
I decided to do this theme because that is what I’m constantly hearing all day for the past weeks. So why not make some art of this situation. The poster colors China flags withing the spray is where it was started. And I changed the mask into a dis-morphed United states flag. Using a very generic Asian face from the internet because people are freaking about or reacting in racial profiling manor. And calling this virus what is and that is a racist virus. And I chose to use a disinfecting spray because people are buying large amounts of this. And it also references to how some Americans view Asian people as zombies, pests, or the cause of reason for the spread of this virus. Which is far from the truth.
