art online

If anyone is interested in visiting an art museum but can not like me. Artnet.com has found some art exhibits and artists that can be seen and heard online through artist website, Ubuweb, Vimeo, Rhizome, Youtube there is one more but I dare not say where it is (begins with a "p" ends with "ornhub"). Weird time for artist to show their life's work or any sorta opening. It is one of those times where the internet does come in handy and not entirely a distraction.

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.

Response: New Media in Art: CH 3 150-160pgs

Michael Rush mentions exploring the lyrical other words combing the writing, poems, song, music, etc. turned into visual images, performances or installations(150).  At first to me seemed kinda boring the writing portion and poems because I am not very good at and it is confusing sometimes trying to understand authors writing or meaning behind the story if there is one. But the parts that interest me are turning visuals into poems. For example, Bill Viola's single-channel video installation described as "videos as visual poems " grappling with identity and spirituality.

Response: New Media in Art Ch1: 39-50pgs

In chapter 1, New Media in Art by Michael Rush mentions a performance of beating a guitar on themselves until it disintegrated. And this reminded me of David Blaine when he would perform his extreme isolation meditation. Like with the ice tomb, standing 100-foot high, 22-in wide pillar, submerged in water and buried alive. He did these while filming for a tv show pushing his limits of the audience reactions. Another trick that comes to mind is the ice pick through the hand or arm in front of people. There is this raw emotion of disgust with doubt because that it can't be real? Right?
