Autoscopy

For this Autoscopy I chose to represent my anxiety/past depression. There was a period in time where  I was depressed but I told no one because I didn't believe anyone cared, so if I showed my problems to my friends or family it was like giving someone a present. The other me represents what my dad wants me to be deep inside. I can tell that he wanted me to be in the military but he also wants me to be myself.

Art 211: Performance art

Image
Jen was my partner! When we were thinking of my piece, I looked at things I usually enjoy. I enjoyed watching people recording and doing weird stuff in stores and always wondered if I could ever do that. Since I have an overwhelming sense of social anxiety, I try not to draw attention to myself, yet wish that I could do the things youtubers do best. My piece is based on just contently being yourself. I want to illustrate that you can be weird and do what you please in public, no matter what the public eye says. I see performance art as an interesting concept. from flash mobs to protest, performance art can really have an everlasting memory for those who see it. Some performance arts can be seen as extreme, and can be essentially violent to oneself, bodily harm to make a statement can be seen as too intense for public eyes, but it does make a statement. whether it reaches the peoples minds can be a challenge. When the performance is recorded I think a lot more people can see it

Art 211 Combination project: Smoothie Phone

Image
My project is a combination of lunch and conversation. The avocado represents the dial, the sandwich, the base of the phone, the elbow noodles, the cord, and the apple, banana, and orange is made up of the phone. My reasoning for creating such a mass of food is simply because of the idea of healthiness vs unhealthiness. We are told that being on our electronics causes loss of brain cells and inability to learn in a specific way. People of the younger generation tend to not care and hold on to electronics almost as an obsession, but what if electronics were healthy food? If we treated our body how we treat our electronics, perhaps we would have a better perspective on healthiness. My idea came to me from looking at my own life. my inspirations actually came from my dinner. While I was prodding around, seeing what I should eat, I found myself dragging my phone along with me, as if it was another part of my arm. Noticing this caused me to create such a piece. Other inspirations came

Art 211: deconstruction Video

Image
For my project I decided to focus on the meaning of worth and worthlessness. Sometimes people give more credit to feeling worthless than feeling that they are worth it. To illustrate this concept, I made Worth as a girl trapped under a black and white environment in the wet and cold, and gave worthlessness a beautiful look. I made worthlessness wear a dress of red to symbolize demons. When people continuously say they are worthless, they are giving worthlessness a spotlight, and leaving their worth in the dark. For the effects of the video, I did a lot of reverse, speeding up, color change, tv simulator effects, and black and white effects. I used final cut pro and a T3i rebel camera. It was a lot of fun filming it in the water, but it was a mess as well. Originally I was supposed to film outside, but I decided that if I film the two elements where it looks like they are trapped, it would be better. I want people to realize how much they are worth. I decided to do this concept
