My Crowdsourcing Creation

“Crowdsourcing” is an interesting way of getting many people involved in an idea or thought process.

The participating artist would choose from a gallery of coats, tops, shoes, and bottoms. Then the participant would choose different prints and colors for the items picked. Finally, the entire ensemble will be submitted to a collaborative collection made by a variety of people.

Website Re-Purposing

Artist Summary: Re-purpose this site conveyed the fashion world’s self-image controversy of looking healthy and beautiful.

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 create a picture, enter it into the project, thus

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.
