RETHINKING THE IDEA: This is how I would think a computer would breathe if we gave it life.

    This piece is very jarring (in a good way). The silence makes the listener hyper aware of their breath, but it becomes harder to breathe normally as you hear the unsteady rhythm of the piece. I really like your idea that this is how a computer would breathe. I hadn't thought of that when I first heard it, but it adds an interesting element to the sound.

Iconic Women

Kyle Labak's Ach Mein Gott So I made a music video! Yay!  I wanted to use the platform of the music video because it's already a space in which experimental film is widely consumed, so in theory if Kyle became a famous singer, the messages that I'm trying to convey here would become part of the dialogue of this 'global village' that McLuhan expresses.  Betty Boop as the main subject just kind of happened - Kyle was adamant that she had to be a part of the project and I found that the material went very well rhythmically with the song. From there, everything kind of snowballed into iconic moments featuring women. I wanted to question whether or not those icons should be immortalized for the reasons that they are. For example, Disney's Cinderella represents the perfect form of femininity, the shower scene from Hitchcock's Psycho is known to be one of the most horrifying deaths in cinema history (with phallic imagery), and Superman, our hero ...

My First Gallery

This whole project was very exciting. My book turned out really well, but I wish my thesis had been more clear, because on the surface it looks like I had several different topics; I was critiquing capitalism, making my photos look almost like pages in a magazine. Within that critique, I wanted to highlight how much value has been lost for so-called sacred ideas or people, like Confucius, and how we as a society are so focused on the past (like the drum or the Latest News container) yet we can't wait for the newest technology. I kind of wanted to communicate all of that, so I hope it was effective and everyone kind of understood what I was trying to get at.  The print project was also very interesting, but less enjoyable and satisfactory than the book. My two prints, "Follow the Rules" and "$12.95 of Right" worked well together, and continued the critique of capitalism.  This was my first time being part of a gallery opening, and I have to say it was pret...

Jason Yi in Time and Space

Jason Yi's artwork very often takes on the context of time and space. One of the things that really stood out to me during his talk was his background in architecture, which shapes the way he looks at a space.  Location can dictate what we see and change our perception of what we see. The structure and design of a room tells us how to use it. “Terraform” for me embodies these two statements. The lines of the statues follow a certain pattern, even when I don’t necessarily understand why they are present. When standing in a certain spot of the room, all the cones point to a certain light, which is directed at the three pieces on the wall. These small relationships transform a space and the things within it into a cohesive and beautiful environment. "Familiar" In terms of his other projects, “Familiar” represented for me the nature of our existence, which is made up of moments that stand out to us, and define us. They form a pattern in spa...
