Response: New Media in Art: Ch1 "Media and Performance" pgs 28-38

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.

DTC 355: Timelapse project

"Why the F**k I'm Up" "for this projected I took a shit ton of photos for about 6 months now. And I did not know what I wanted to do with them. Anyway, I took slices of each photo that was taken at an ungodly hour. And rearranged them into a new view of my car window. And I will say I was not driving when I produced these photos. It pays off sometimes to be early. But I rather be sleeping."

DTC 355: Project 2 "COVID-19" propaganda poster

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.

Response: New Media in Art : CH4 "The Digital Art" 180-199

A German artist by the name of Andreas Gursky photo manipulated laborers to make seem that were over thousands of workers in one building. And the photograph makes you think about where all materialistic phones, clothing, tablets things. I think we all know it comes from but what we do not like to think about is the amount of labor and conditions of the environment.
