Xerox Project 10/30

    For this project we had to scan parts of ourselves and put together a 2D/3D piece of art inspired by an art movement. The first obstacle for me was developing an idea, the second was getting over the fact that I had to scan my face in front of other students. However, as I actually went and started scanning myself my idea became more clear.
    I have always found surrealist art to be quite intriguing because of its dreamlike quality and focus on the human psyche. The art of the Surrealist movement focused on unleashing and expressing the unconscious mind. Therefore, I found my inspiration in this psychological approach.
     Through my piece I sought to convey the effect and power of our unconscious and conscious minds. The variety of gestures both positive and negative are directed and projected at my "unconscious" face. This is to show how sometimes we can be our own worst enemy, but at the same we can lift ourselves up.

    This piece is great, the references to the human consciousness and even further references to religion and the embodiment of the human experience create a mind tickling journey. The angles you chose for each hand and your face play well together and all in all create a magnificent piece.

Deconstruction Video

For my deconstruction video I sought to compare and contrast "noise". I wanted to play with the idea of how the audience felt when viewing and hearing a mix of a little and then a lot of visual and auditory noise. In the drastic shift of the video I wanted to elicit intense feelings of either surprise, annoyance, or any other unexpected reaction. This was an interesting project to explore a sense of reception to both visuals and audio sounds that were at first calming and then chaotic. In my exploration of how we subconsciously react and respond to stimuli I was pleased with the result of the in class screening. It seemed that my video had the effect that I was so interested to see. https://youtu.be/xNezHI6UEsY

B4. Broadway

    When I was younger I saw a production of A Christmas Carol in NYC, and while I don't remember specific details about the set, cast, and costumes, I remember the feeling brought by the environment. The anticipation as my family made our way to the seats and then the growing tension prior to the start of the show. The way each of the cast members so whole-heartedly played their parts filled me with a sense of inspiration. The unity brought about through the audience experiencing the story and the performers telling it. I found that to be a beautiful thing.    Angel de Quinta's Stage Door blog provides a look at some of the best broadway plays and performances to date. Of the excerpts available I took interest in the performances of Hair, Grease, and Sunset Boulevard. In Hair, the 60s vibe is clearly present through the costuming of the cast along with the songs they sing. They sing of astrological connections and the power of love. The movements of the cast are fluid yet s
