A6- Art & Technology


I used a collaboration of my knowledge of sign language and technology into a creative twist for this project. When thinking about what body parts I should use, I thought this was a great chance to use an old song I learned in sign language as a story. The song goes, "I'm on top of the world, waiting on this for awhile." I tried to incorporate movement to the signs, as no sign is actually still, but printing them out became a challenge.

Blog Post B4- Stage Door

        Growing up 15 minutes away from the city, I was fortunate enough to get the chance to see many broadway plays. With each so uniquely amazing and captive, it is hard to say a favorite. On Angel de Quinta's Stage Door Blog, he gives really detailed and effective descriptions of some plays. After going through all of the years and reading about them, I thought that, Mary Poppins Returns- The Place Where Lost Things Go, stood out the most to me.         Having the ability to watch these Disney classics as I was growing up makes me stay bonded to the concept of having the return of another work of art.

It teaches you that so

Final Project- Video Art

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Z7R1AROUM For my video art project, I decided to use footage from the past couple weeks that I've recorded into a montage. With "What a Wonderful World" playing on a high speed, the video gives a light and fun feel. This video depicts my feelings towards Tampa and my first two semesters here at college. I thought this was a good way to recap my first year's memories and the skills I have learned from FMX 211.

A7- Performance Art

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fXkinBSMGA After being shown many performances by Marina Abramović, I was very moved. Her work speaks wonders, doing even the simplest of things. I like that she's mostly allowing other people to do things in her work, seeing what human kind's potential lives up to be. Some other artists that inspired my work are Yoko Ono in her investigating identities and Chris Burden. Burden was bold and always too risks, something that I hoped to do in my performance. Flesh will be my communication in my video, as the words written on my body will speak louder than I could ever do. People don't always see how someone feels from the outside, it takes a message as big as writing it with markers for people to get the point and see what's really going on. I think this was a healthy exercise for people to think about the feelings we get from technology. Unfortunately, not many people came by on campus since it was a quieter Sunday here.
