Response: New Media in Art Ch1 64-78 pgs

In last part of chapter 1 Michael Rush cites an artist, Trisha Brown created one of the first dance performance media videos in 1966 (77). The video shows Brown dancing with a projector to her back showing images of her choreography as she real time performing in front of audience. I thought it was a interesting and cool idea. Curious to see if the projector was in the way of the live performance. Or that was intention or if she powered through. The weight of projector did not even phase her. She is total badass if she did not have any problems. I think she is badass either way.

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 : 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. 

Response to Hard Cash: A History of Artists Using Money as a Metaphor BY ANDREW RUSSETH

K Foundation's performance  K Foundation Burn a Million Quid , Aug. 23, 1995 Andrew Ruesseth mentions a couple artist including Andy Warhol, and the infamous banana on the wall piece of art. And how much is art worth? A comment on society's values of high art which raises the question of what makes using money in art wrong. Burning it to make a statement that we put so much value in a piece a paper that all it is a piece of paper. Or using precious gemstones that valued high rate already why make a ridiculous medium out of it. Because why not that how most people live their lives thinking about money. Either you have a lot of it or live paycheck to paycheck. And if you live middle class all you do is hope you live to move up or down.
