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.
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.
Aren't visual artists poets of imagery?
