New Media #3

In the NET ART section, I checked out 2014 list and I saw this video http://the-urgency.undervolt.co/96272939 . After checking out that video, I thought it really rocked and it's kinda tells what would it be like, if you life was wrecked because of social media and the internet. Also, it was wicked awesome how the creator of this video combined visual arts, animation, and really life videos.

New Media #2

I checked out in the MIT section, sensible city and checked this link http://senseable.mit.edu/light-traffic/ out. It was called Light Traffic | MIT Senseable City Lab, and I thought it was very brilliant and it had a visionary look at traffic on the road, and the stats included with it.

Video Art #3

I just watched Colombian videtart, and this was excellent and greatly creative. It was copyright free and the music performance was really sensational.

Performance Art #3

The Human Canvas shows lots of artists using cutting and bleeding for this performance art. Lots of people might faint, enjoy, or get disgusted while watching this; but I thought this performance art was really awesome.

Artists & Technology #4

I just watched Art History in 5 Minutes, and I thought it was awesomely creative and pure genius. Also, it's like creating a collage with pictures from magazines, newspapers, and/or the internet.

Artists & Technology #3

While working on my Xerox project, I was taking a look at other people's Xerox designs and I found this one very interesting and creative. http://dcaseyart211.blogspot.com/2009/03/xerox-project.html

I never seen anything like it, it's kinda like a gothic spider with a dark side, and it makes a great symbol or logo for a T-shirt, medallion, or a company.

Computers #3

Looking at Nintendo History, and I was surprised when I found out it goes back to 1889, when it was originally named Nintendo Koppai (a small company in Kyoto (a small island in Honshu, Japan)), and that the Super Mario Bros. idea came from simple playing cards. A few people assume that Nintendo thought of the name itself, including the animation for Super Mario Bros.

Computers #2

I just watched a documentary entitled The video game revolution, it takes a look at the interactive, electronic entertainment. Lots of think that playing video games is like being on TV (in a competitive way) and that it better than watching TV.

Electronics #3

Just watched Felix the Cat,  this was the first star on television and this video contains the first image that appeared to be broadcast on TV. It's hard to see it, when it's blurry unless someone is trying to avoid copyright infringement.

Electronics #2

I just watched Original recording of “War of the worlds” by Orson Welles, and it was really cool.       Lots of kids and teens today think watching it on TV is better than listening to it on the radio, but back in the 30s they didn't have computers and television sets, and many people enjoyed listening to it on the radio; this is similar to Harry Potter books & Harry Potter movies. Lots of people loved reading the Potter books than watching Potter movies, because in the movies the director and the producer didn't add any scenes according to the book, but some people loved the movies either way and some people didn't.

Time Based Media #3

I just watched Great Train Robbery – Edwin S. Porter , and I enjoyed it. At 7:41, it showed some color added when people were dancing, and I believe the theme for that scene (in my view) would be "Living Color".

Broadway #3

while watching Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt – Walter Ruttman, I thought it was great silent film, and it reminds of the late 1920s', when times were hard and everyone was working hard to make ends meat.

New Media #1

Yesterday, I saw a video that's about the digital storytelling in a physical world. What I like most about this video, is that it's not a mixture of theatre, dance, film, music, and visual art, but that it really shows that it shows either a vision of nature or relaxation.

Video Art #2

Last week, the teacher showed us few examples other students' Video Art on what we can do for Video Art projects, and one of my top favorites would have to be this: http://thuyp.blogspot.com/2010/12/video-art_6190.html

What I like most about this student's video art, is how it shows a sense of illusion within the eyes, which is kind of similar to hypnotism.

Time Based Media #2

In Jason Theodor – Creativity: In this video, Mr. Theodor talks about how to create more, better, and different and it's based on the creative method systems. It also talks about differential uniqueness, foundational quality, creative ratio, elements in balance, 8 creative types, etc. This video was very informative and it gave me a few ideas on my Flip Book, like for the flip page animation, it would have to involve what the topic is and what goes with it.

Broadway #2

I watched a scene from broadway film called "Whatever Happen To Jane"(1962), it involved singing "Ive Written A Letter to Daddy" sung by Bette Davis. I thought she sang that song beautifully and it was really cute how that boy present her with a doll resembling Bette Davis. Bette Davis' singing reminds of Shirley Temple, when she was a little girl and ranged in a broadway film.

Here a video clip of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fElh8TKLiYM

Opera #3

I was look up for some info on Mise en Scene, what I found out is that it's a French term meaning that it's the arrangement of actors and scenery on a stage a theatrical production or stage setting. It consists of 4 major components: setting, actors, lighting and composition. Two different styles that represent miss en scene is German Expressionism and French Poetic Realist. It creates motifs, reinforces themes and establishes mood.

Opera #2

The teacher showed us this adaptation of an opera called "Madame Butterfly", showing a great use of clay art and of stop-motion animation. Also, the opera music really goes with the scenes in this video. Looking at this, kinda reminds me of the clay animation Gumby, that I used to watch when I was four or five years old.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt87rvCPViQ here an episode of it, and if you freeze at 3:17 to 3:19, it's almost realistic.

I honestly thought that Pjotr Sapegin’s Madama Butterfly, was very creative and excellent, what I like most is how they made the movie almost realistic. and how it's related to the chronology of opera.

Artists & Technology #1: Xerox project

The teacher wanted us to create a Xerox project; it's a 2D or 3D work of art inspired by any Art movements that were shown in class.

Yoshi 2D

Music #4

For the VIRTUAL music movement, I chose Hatsune Miku because she's a virtual star or a digital avatar, but technically she's a vocal synthesizer called a Vocaloid, developed by a Japanese software company Crypton Future Media. The character appears as a 16 year-old girl with pig tails and her name translates as "the first sound of the future" which might let people believe she will lead to revolution in the music industry. Also, Miku performs live songs that was created by a thriving global community, with tens of thousands of songs featuring her voice uploaded since 2007. Slightly, she's a representation of the evolution of digital music technology, crowdsourcing, and creative collaboration. Being a virtual star, she can do amazing things that her counterparts can't do, like exploding in a shower of light.

Also, here a video link of Hatsun Miku doing a live performance at Lady Gaga's Artpop Ball concert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKRTKs2U1f0

Music #3

For the DUBSTEP music movement, I chose Delta Heavy because they're a British electronic music production duo, consisting of Ben Hall and Simon James. They made their mark with their own special brand of music, but for their single "Get By" they experimented with melodic dubstep. The clip steps away from the normal-live action and towards stop-motion animation. This sort of technology has rarely been used for music videos with its rather expensive price tag and painstakingly detailed nature, but when done right, as Delta Heavy did it, it looks awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cOt9UcYGOU

"GET BY" by Delta Heavy

Music #2

  For the HOUSE music movement, I chose Jesse Sanders because he is one of the pioneers of house music, although it's cited by critics that he's "the originator of house music". He's also a DJ, record producer, film producer, and an entrepreneur.

  Sanders talked about how "back in 2010, he started incorporating visual elements into his sets to enhance the experience, and then he utilized the Roland Visual Sampler system in Los Angeles, California. The crowd was amazed because he was DJing, but the visuals were telling his story at the same time. The people didn't know whether to dance or to watch. Having that control over the crowd is stimulating".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meNxwKXpHKw 

Music #1

    The teacher wants us to choose 5 different music “movements” from the ones listed above and add one group/musician/performer to that category, especially related to the usage of technology. For the ELECTRO - CLASH music movement, I chose The M Machine. The M Machine is an American electronic music duo consisting of Ben Swardlick and Eric Luttrell from San Francisco, CA, because this group design, built, and performs its own live visuals in the form of a massive LED version of their iconic "M". It is this eclectic and all-encompassing approach towards their craft that has distinguished The M Machine as something very unique in the world of electronic music. The group achieved initial viral success with a teaser video for their two-part album Metropolis. Inspired by Fritz Lang's seminal 1927 film Metropolis, the group created an entire mythology for the release, each song telling part of the story of the dystopian city of Metropolis. Here the teaser video of it.

A&T News

    The teacher wanted us to search for some news relating to art and technology, so I searched on the internet and I found a news article relating Google DeepDream. DeepDream is a computer visualization tool that was developed at Google's Zurich office (at Zurich, Switzerland) and it was released to the world during the summer of 2014. It's a style of computing inspired by the brain and nervous systems to not only help us learn to recognize shapes in pictures but understand how neural networks work and what each layer has learned. So a network is comprised of sets of ‘neurons’ that are all interconnected and will communicate with each other when given an input (usually a high number of inputs) in order to determine what the correct output might be. They’re used most notably in speech recognition and image classification.

       I found this video that shows a journey trough all the layers of a artificial neural network.

Origins #4

   I read  Art Vs Design, you know lots of art students always ask themselves which is a great career choice for you; being an artist or being a graphic designer; 50% of people want to be artists, either because they would be free to do whatever they want or being able to express yourself through the enjoyment of the creativity of art, and the other 50% of people want to be graphic designers either because they would be able design something on a computer, it pays more money and it'll make you rich, being recognized by the media of an amazing design you made, or being able to design something for a major company like business cards, menus, poster, postcards, flyers, billboard ads, etc.

Performance Art #2.3

    Rashaad Newsome is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends several practices together including: collage, sculpture, video, music, computer programming and performance, to form an altogether new field. He's best known for his visually stunning collages housed in custom frames, Newsomes' work is deeply invested in how images used in media and popular culture communicate distorted notions of power. Using the equalizing force of sampling, he crafts compositions that surprise in their associative potential and walk the tightrope between intersectionality, social practice and abstraction. Newsome's works opposes cultural essentialisms. They lead us into a realm of uncertainty, in which the symbols presented transform, but are nonetheless made tangible

 In one of his recent performance arrangements, Newsmen used a hacked Nintento Wii controller to mix sounds in real-time in conjunction with a chorus of live performers (Shade Compositions); in Five, he used motion-tracking software to produce drawings of vogueing dancers.

    Nam Juin Paik, Laurie Anderson, and Rashaad Newsmen are both performance artists and they use technology in order to document their work; for those who actively incorporate technology into their performance practice.

Performance Art #2.2

    Laurie Anderson is an american performance artist, composer, and writer whose work explores an extraordinary area of media and subject matter. In order to get support for her work in performance art, Anderson worked as a freelance interviewer and art critic for ARTnews and Artforum. By 1974, she received several grants that gave her more freedom to pursue her artistic explorations. Anderson is one of the most well-known performance artists who continues to not only use but make technology for her performance pieces. Anderson “hacked” traditional instruments by, for example, replacing the catgut strings of a violin with magnetic tape; she consistently uses voice modulators during her live performances to create different, often unsettling, vocal effects.

    Also, Laurie Anderson created a massive four-part multimedia extravaganza, United States I–IV. It combined music, photography, film, drawings, and animation with text and consisted of 78 segments organized into four sections: Transportation, Politics, Money, and Love. Here's the album:

Performance Art #2.1

Three of my favorite performance artists are Nam Juin Paik, Laurie Anderson, and Rashaad Newsmen. Nam Juin Paik was a performance artist, composer and visionary, but he's best known as the creator of Video Art. He transformed a video into an artist’s medium with his media-based art that challenged and changed our understanding of visual culture. He also developed TV Cello in 1971 for his longtime collaborator Charlotte Moorman. The piece mixed live musical performance with pre-recorded broadcast (or live broadcast), playing with issues of simultaneity, mediation, and mass media. Three televisions made up the body of the cello, and displayed a direct feed of the performance itself, a video collage of other cellists, and an intercepted broadcast.

Electronics #1

      The teacher wanted us to choose a 21st century technology and write about this technology, and what influenced it, so I searched on the internet and I found a news article relating Google DeepDream. DeepDream is a computer visualization tool that was developed at Google's Zurich office (at Zurich, Switzerland) and it was released to the world during the summer of 2014. It's a style of computing inspired by the brain and nervous systems to not only help us learn to recognize shapes in pictures but understand how neural networks work and what each layer has learned. So a network is comprised of sets of ‘neurons’ that are all interconnected and will communicate with each other when given an input (usually a high number of inputs) in order to determine what the correct output might be. They’re used most notably in speech recognition and image classification.

       In this article I found, https://www.inverse.com/article/14608-princeton-undergrad-creates-google-deep-dream-inspired-deepjazz-a-i-music-maker, it talks about a 20-year-old Princeton computer science sophomore named Ji-Sung Kim. It took him 36 hours to complete deepjazz during his first hackathon, HackPrinceton, held on April 1-3 at the university. After finishing a marathon of coding, he created a website for deepjazz, and posted the source code on GitHub. Much to Kim's surprise Deepjazz is steadily trending on Python and GitHub — reaching as high as the top seventh program on GitHub overall. Also, it was featured on the front page of HackerNews and is still generating a lively discussion. Kim repurposed an existing music generator optimized for jazz music that his friend Evan Chow developed called JazzML, using the code to get relevant data but transforming it into a binary matrix that is compatible with the two deep learning libraries Keras and Theano.

Video Art #1

The teacher wanted us to create our own video art piece, and must be completely copyright free. Here is mine

Computers #1: Grid Art

This is my Grid Art project, it resembles the dimension of hypnotism. In the middle part, I used gold, black, and white beads to resemble the pocket watch or the clock. Also, in the top right,  I used orange beads to create a dimensional wormhole. Then in the down right, I used gold, black, green, and orange beads to make an eye. Finally, I used the red beads to create hypnotism.

Performance Art #1

A performance art, created and directed by me. This video talks about the art of winning and losing, positive and negative, or right and wrong.

Artists & Technology #2: WEAPTOY

The teacher wanted us to design a toy that one would us as a weapon. Here's a photo of a weapon toy I created in Maya.

Time Based Media #1: Dozer's Flipbook

The teacher wanted us to go to thrift store to buy a blank book, and make it to a flip book. Now, here is mine.

Stencil

Last week, the teacher wanted us to make a stencil using spray-paint and etc., and here's mine:

                                          

I used brown spray paint and for the background, I used orange paint.

Chaos and Creativity

Two days ago, the teacher wanted us to check this article http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/were-only-human/what-a-mess-chaos-and-creativity.html, that talks about chaos and creativity. After looking at the article, it reminds of Andy Warhol, who was known as not only the leading figure in the visual art field and an eccentric artist, but one of the most important artists of pop art movement. Back in the 1960s', Warhol turned mass-produced commercial goods; like for example.....Campbell's soup cans, Coca-Cola, vacuum cleaners, etc., that he turned them into popular icons:

But back to that article like about Chaos & Creativity,  looking at the artwork in that link talks about crime and controversy, although lots things have controversy besides art, like politics, religions, newspapers, economy, entertainment, sexuality, etc.

Broadway #1

Two days ago, the teacher was talking to us about Broadway plays, Vaudeville, burlesque shows, and art and technology almost relating to that. Also she showed us a movie that showed people acting and dancing back in the 1920s to the 1950s I think. You know hearing about Broadway plays reminds me of Hal Roach's Little Rascals/Our Gang (1920-1940s), it had kids acting and dancing just like in Broadway plays and burlesque shows. To me, when I think about the 1920s to 1950s, it reminds me of the Our Gang comedies, The Three Stooges, Abbott & Costello, the Marx Brothers, and now The Artist. Boy, they don't make films like that anymore, back then they didn't have high level technology but an interesting way of performance art, and even for special effects.

For example:

OUR GANG FOLLIES 1938

It's A Hard Knocks Life

                                                              Three Stooges Stunts

Paper Airplanes & A Movie

Two days ago, the teacher wanted the whole class todo some research on paper airplanes, and she wanted us to make the paper airplanes so we can fly them in class and fly them outside on the 7th floor . Also, last week we watched a movie, I couldn't remember what's it called but while watching it, the teacher noticed that it features some art and technology in the film. What I liked most about the movie, was the chasing scene where it involved a guy riding his motorcycle through the mall on the escalator, it was similar to the Blues Brothers movie when Dan Aykroyd drove the blues mobile through the mall, while the police were chasing him and John Belushi.....you know if the Blues Brothers into a TV series, it would be awesome or a hit.

Opera #1

    This week I watched the opera "Rigoletto",  Rigoletto is an opera based on three acts written by Guiseppi Verdi. Rigoletto was not only Verdi’s first ever masterpiece but this opera has been known for almost two centuries as being one of Guiseppi Verdi’s most greatest masterpieces in operatic history. This opera take place at a church, where a ball is being held, it shows Rigoletti (a hunch-backed court jester for the Duke of Mantua) making fun of the husbands whose ladies are being being noticed by the Duke and then Rigoletto suggested to the Duke to either send the husbands to prison or kill them; which makes the Duke happy, but husbands aren’t amused by the court jester’s foolish behavior. The Duke of Matuna is a womanizer who cares about one thing and that’s chasing after every woman he sees and he thinks that would be horrible for him if he doesn’t keep doing it. As a matter of fact, the Duke notices a beautiful lady named Gilda walking into the church the first time, and swears that he would do anything to seduce her. What no one is aware of is that Gilda notices the Duke at the ball and is in love with him, and that she’s Rigoletto’s daughter. During the ball while the Duke was seducing the Countess of Ceprano, Rigoletto makes fun of the Countess’s husband Count Ceprano which enraged him, after the courtiers were gossiping about the court jester having a mistress and her name was Gilda. Suddenly, Count Monterone appears at the ball and exposes the Duke for seducing his daughter, then the the court jester was making fun of him and that made the Duke laugh out loud and has Count Monterone arrested, which made Count Monterone so angry that he invokes a curse upon the court jester, that frightened Rigoletto so bad that he rushed out of the church. While walking home, Rigoletto was approached by an assassin named Sparafucile, and the assassin would offer his services to the court jester, if he ever needs him. Sparafucile notice that were similarities between him and the court jester, and that was that the assassin kills men with his sword and Rigoletto uses a “tongue of malice” to stab his victims, then the assassin walks away. Rigoletto started to feel better when he got home and greeted his daughter Gilda, and she asked her father what her mother was like before she died, and Rigoletto told his daughter that her mother was beautiful and lovely like an angel. Rigoletto always try to shield her from the outside world, because he didn’t want his daughter to know what he does for a living, and his daughter promised him that the only place she would go is to the church every Sunday. Hours later, Rigoletto heard a noise below in the courtyard and warns Giovanna (Gilda’s nurse) not to let anyone come into the house. After Rigoletto leaves to investigate, the Duke sneaks into the house and bribed Gilda’s nurse to let him see Gilda, and she did. As disguising himself as a poor student, the Duke declares his love to Gilda, who also saw him at church every Sunday. Giovanna quickly comes in, and warns them that someone’s coming. As the Duke leaves. an enchanted Gilda starts having memories of the beauty of their romantic encounter. Afterwards, the courtiers gathered outside of the streets to discuss how are they going to kidnap Gilda, whom they think is Rigoletto’s mistress but when Rigoletto appears, they told him that they’re going to kidnap Count Ceprano’s wife, who lives nearby. The court jester agrees to help and is tricked into wearing a blindfold and unknowingly helps them to kidnap  Gilda. While laughing, the courtiers break into the house and carry Gilda away. Realizing that the courtiers tricked him, Rigoletto removes the blindfold and runs to the house. After discovering Gilda’s gone, Rigoletto collapsed as he shouts the curse that Count Monterone invoked upon him.

           The next day in his palace, the Duke was alone and upset when went back to Gilda’s house and found it empty. His courtiers come in and after they tell him about last night when they tricked the court jester into kidnapping Gilda and put her in the Duke’s chamber, the Duke thought was very funny, but was shocked to know it was Gilda, however knowing that this is a great chance for him to have sex with her, the Duke rushed to his chamber (where Gilda’s at). Rigoletto comes into the palace to anxiously search for his daughter. The courtiers were shocked and amused to learn that Gilda is the court jester’s daughter, but they refuse to take him to her, before someone appear on the balcony saying that Gilda is with the Duke alone in the Duke’s chamber. With fires of rage in his eyes, Rigolette tries to save her but he was outnumbered, so he decided to beg for her release or to save her before she gets hurt. The Duke shows Rigoletto where his daughter is and he rushes to embrace her, then Gilda told her father about what happened last night when he left, and that the Duke  was having sex with her. Also, Count Monterone was led through the room on his way to be executed. Rigoletto swears that he and Count Monterone will get their vengeance, while Gilda pleads with her father to forgive the Duke.

          Rigoletto was still obsessed about getting revenge against the Duke for what he did to his daughter, went to go talk to Sparafucile, and the assassin came up with a brilliant plan: he wanted him and Rigoletto to lure the Duke to Sparafucile’s bar, where the assassin will murder him, knowing that the court jester wants revenge against the Duke; Gilda, who despite everything that happened to her last night, is still love with the Duke, pleads with her father not to kill the man she loves. Rigoletto takes his daughter to Sparafucile’s bar and makes he watch the Duke, dressed as a poor student again to seduce the assassin’s sister Maddalena. Gilda was very upset and he sends her away, so he and Sparafucile can finish their plan to kill the Duke. Meanwhile, Maddalena pleads with her brother not to kill the poor student (the Duke) and kill the court jester instead. Sparafucile refused to kill Rigoletto, so instead he told his sister that he’ll kill the next the person that comes through the door. When Gilda returned, she overheard the assassin talking to his sister, so she decided to sacrifice herself to save her father and the man she loves. Gilda comes in and was killed. Rigoletto returns to the bar to get the Duke body,  after the assassin puts Gilda’s body in heavy sack, Rigoletto to the body bag and put in the boat and paddled to the river to get rid of the body. Then he hears the Duke singing from a distance, he quickly opens the sack, and much to his sadness to find out it was his daughter Gilda, almost dead. As she dies, Rigoletto cries out Count Munterone’s curse.

      I thought that this opera, was very emotional and amazing, to me it was kind of, arguably similar to William Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet”, like in the end, how someone would do the anything to protect the person they love, and to me that is one of the defining symbols of true love.

    I’m trying to convert this into a game by using Adobe Dreamweaver, the game would have the Duke to get the girls before time runs out (because in the opera, it shows that the Duke is a playboy), and for the background, I was thinking of using images of the inside of a theatre or an opera house, women, a Duke, a symbol of death, and of people doing play about “Rigoletto”. For the background of the start game, It would show the title Rigoletto, and for the end game I thought for the background would show a symbol of death. It would be similar to this game http://art310.utarts.com/fa15/okonkwo/GAME/CO_GAMEFINAL.html

    I tried creating it a few months ago, but something went wrong and I don't know what.

Hello, my name is Christopher Okonkwo but you can call me Dozer, I got that nickname when I played football with my friends. My hobbies are drawing, painting, writing screenplays/stories/movies, acting, hanging out with friends, singing, and especially dancing; lots of people think I'm a good or great dancer, although everyone at Life Port Church in Port Charlotte, Florida think I'm an amazing dancer.

I first became interested in graphic when I first started community college, from there I started working as a graphic design intern for Personal Printing Service in Port Charlotte; I designed logos, business cards, postcards, posters, etc. and my boss Mr. Gomez loved my designs.

Now about the Art & Technology class, I really like it, and I expect to learn more about the important elements, aspects or important facts about Art & Technology.

On the 1st day of class the teacher wanted us to watch this video:  RAUL CUERO’s interview about Creativity
after watching that video, it kind of reminds me of when I was 8 years old, lots of kids thought I wasn't smart in class, I was horrible at football/basketball/soccer, and thought I would never achieve at anything, but then 2 weeks after, I started become real good at school, I was a great defensive tackler and scored 2 touchdowns, and I was really great everything else. Also this video deflects who I am:

    Last week, the teacher wanted us to read an essay that talks about the world of wrestling. While I was reading the essay, I remembered that one of my professor's (Santiago Echeverry) told me that he used to work at WWE, and how he met Vince McMahon; you know I should've asked him if he could  could get Vince McMahon or Hulk Hogan to visit our class, because I've been a fan of WWE ever since I was five years old, when I first saw Hulk Hogan wrestling against Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III on TV,  even though I was born seven months after that event. Also, the essay also about how wrestling is real and how it's not; you know for years lots of people say that guys like Hulk Hogan, Sting (Steve Bordon), Kevin Nash, Curt Hennig, Dusty Rhodes, Jeff Jarrett, Shawn Michaels, Stu Hart, Kurt Angle, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Jerry Lawler, Jimmy Snuka, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and Terry Funk aren't real wrestlers but just actors, but lots of people don't agree with that, including me because if those guys are just actors then WWE would get stunt men to wrestle in their company not them, also I've seen those guys wrestle in thousands of  professional wrestling matches (which were really amazing by the way), and those men inspired lots of their fans to be wrestlers like Dwayne Johnson, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Bret Hart, Mike Mizanon (The Miz), Colt Piper, Brian Christopher, Eddie Gilbert, Mick Foley, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Charlotte Flair, AJ Styles, etc.

   Another thing, my teacher told us that in the future that of lots air & technology in mirrors, titantrons, television, walls, cars, blimps, etc. like this for example: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=30m4dp0&s=5#.VqfeCzZlmt8

Today, while I was researching art and technology, Rodney Whitaker talks about how a computer leads to the relationship between art and technology, because not only engineers, scientists, and designers use a computer, but lots of artists use a computer to create various types of art like movies, websites, video games, web pages, etc. Also, he talks about how he use art and technology every day as a digital artist at

http://people.clarkson.edu/~whitakrj/The_Relationship_Between_art_and_technology.html.


Another thing, I found this image that relates to art and technology that relates to art and technology that's promoting an event called
