YouTube Video Montage

Interactive Website (Click Here)

Artist Summary:

The YouTube Video Montage, due to the wide range and selection of videos, was an interesting process. The composition represents the business and cluster of media and television.  The concept is based on flooding our minds with stimulus and determining the outcome. Varieties of videos were chosen to interpret the meaning throughout this piece, and are as follows:
(1)   The technology of beautification and image altering.
(2)   Charlie Sheen and how he is self-destructing in the eyes of the media.
(3)   The hypnotizing spiral showing the unknowingness of media and how it alters our      thoughts.
(4) (7) & (10) The images of people zoning out from television, showing how television wasn't       created to educate or enlighten you, but created to sell things and ideas. One video calls TV the drug of the nation.
(5) This video expresses the idea that there is always something better presenting itself to you,         urging you to reach invisible standards that are seen through the media and fashion world.
(8) A top-ten fashion count-down showing unrealistic
     fashions and body figures.
(9) This should be self-explanatory. This parody for the TV show Jersey Shore, is completely ridiculous with no point or meaning at all. Yet, consumers craves them, so the media delivers.
Overall, the montage, as a whole, is trying to broadcast a busy and fuzzy blur into what we hear and see.

    I really interesting. Only thing is that, looking at the project as a whole some of your choices of videos doesn't quite work together. But good job!

    Thank you, so I'm guessing you didn't read the artist summary? I went through and explained in detail the choices of videos and justifying my thoughts and selection of each video for this project, but thank you for the review. :)

Crowdsourcing Projects

1.) Two pieces were contributed and can be viewed on:      a) Man With the Movie Camera      b) Man With the Movie Camera 2.) Actual piece can be viewed on: Million Master Piece   Artist Summary: --> There are many creative possibilities of "crowdsourcing" online, however choosing two unique art projects from a multitude of sites, was a difficult task. Man with the Movie Camera was an engaging and interesting concept. The website, which contains every shot in Vertov’s 1929 film, allows the participants to interpret Vertov’s shot and upload their footage to the database. A scene of railroad tracks was the first picture chosen as part of the project.  Two excellent sites, found on West Fourth Street in Reno, Nevada, were filmed and posted to the site. The One Million Master Piece also presented an intriguing and unique idea.  It allowed you to creat...

Nature Gallery

Set up a gallery in Wingfiled Park. The gallery hopes the viewer, when looking through the frames, will consider the questions What is Nature? and the conflict of how “man-made” can a thing be before it is no longer nature. Nature? Every single frame offers the viewer the opportunity to decide what is nature and what isn’t. These picture frames are specifically placed in hopes to capture the beautiful nature of Wingfield Park, and yet man-made objects intrude from all directions. The frames hold within them trees, water, earth, rocks, as well as concrete, construction, metal, and brick. Does the angle at which you stand change your view? Or can you look through the frame from the completely opposite direction? Either way you are offered the choice. Is what you see truly nature?
