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.

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
