Alex Losey Sock Game Kills propaganda poster (extra)

So this was just a fun extra poster that was Alex Losey and I came up with because comparing each other's socks one day. And it would be out of the box type propaganda. So the route I took to make sense of this was using false facts. And the aesthetic was from the old 1944 poster during the WW2.

Response to New Media In Art: Introduction: Pg7-18

In the book, New Media in Art,  by Michael Rush mentions artists in the last century are experimenting more with mix media (7).  Incorporating readymade objects, personal trinkets, and recyclable objects, focusing on the emotion rather than technical skills. Rush references a famous artist, Marcel Duchamp that changed the focus of what is a fine art. Duchamp for example famous piece controversial "fountain" sculpture was not considered art because it was ready-made that had no creat. However, it is an art because it was Duchamp protest towards the Art Galleries and Museums because who are they decide what is art. Art does not have definitive rules of what qualifies as art, there might be tasteful art and distasteful art (22). I think it should be up to the artist and audience to consider what is art, tasteful otherwise.

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: 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.
