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.

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."

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.

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.
