"Self-Portrait" by Ashley Montes

                 Self-Portrait, Dadaism, Ash
"I wanted to create something mashed together of my family into one image of me. I used digital hand-drawn my head and basic features. And I did the same for the denim jacket that I wear too much. The blue is my favorite color and it also represents calm personality. And the style I used was Dadaism because I thought it was silly, weird and fits my humor. And the images of eyes, ear, mouth, and chin are old photos of my siblings and parents. Then later added some patches of my favorite things or elements about me."

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.

Easy Street Records & Cafe

This weekend I went to an awesome record store in Seattle called Easy Street Records. Man oh, oh man was I was in vinyl record heaven, at first glance the store had some records, merch, and cafe. And I was a little excited to fully know to expect, so I checked out a few bins seeing that it was a marked sale. And some rows wrapped around the upper level which was small but it had a whole lot of vinyl records. Words cannot explain the feeling in a record store and a great one for that matter. But what made this store worth the trip was the number of rare records that you cannot find at Best Buy, Barnes n Nobles, Wal-Mart or Adventure Land Comics store. This place is my top favorite record store aside from RIP "Off the Record" which unfortunately went out business.

Response: New Media in Art Ch3 136-150pgs

One of the artist mentioned in chapter three is Dara BirnBaum, Rio Videowall  (1989) a sculpture installation of TVs on top each other making a one huge image(138).  And while the image of  natural landscapes playing on the twenty-five monitors as a shoppers passes by there are bodies a rematerialized into the monitor thanks to the surveillance cameras set up. Exploring body flow of data as well. However, the idea of the images past and recording present images is cool idea because humans are the cause for disruption in the natural world. Having it in a mall adds a deeper meaning to destroying nature for new mall or commercialization.
