Performance Art

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i86xXaeDCtg&feature=youtu.be

Our task was to create a piece of performance art. I partnered up with another girl, Daniela, and we worked together to put together a posterboard with common things people dislike about technology. We also filled up balloons with water and food coloring. Then, we set the poster up in a noticable location and filmed it inconspicuously. The intent was for people to throw the balloons at the things they disliked the most.

A group of girls came by and threw the balloons around for a while as captured in the time lapse video we took. (I slowed down the time lapse somewhat since it was very fast.) In the end it gave the poster board an interesting drippy effect with various different colors and the board itself got dented by the balloons, making it a unique piece of artwork.

Video Art

View here:  https://youtu.be/EHUY03vcvs4 Artist Statement: When trying to decide how to approach this project, I began by thinking of how I could incorporate technology both into the theme and the production of the video. I ended up using the Photo Booth application on my Mac to record a video using the heat map effect. I experimented with how the effect worked by moving different distances from the camera and moving my hand over the camera, causing a flickering effect where the heatmap colors changed temporarily. I utilized technology by recording myself using various devices- my phone, laptop, and game console. The way that the heatmap responded to the screens of the devices was interesting. To edit the video, I used Final Cut Pro to import each clip, trim them, and use various effects. I used different opacities to overlay clips onto each other, in order to achieve a more complex image. I also added overlay trails, kaleidoscopes, mirror images, and duplication. These eff...

Flipbook

My goal with this flipbook was primarily to create a story that has some cohesive elements but is still abstract. The included various different 'scenes' like a guy getting rained on, finding an umbrella, and then abandoning the umbrella only for a frog to fall on it. The frog then catches a fly with its tongue and transforms into Pikachu from the Pokemon series. Pikachu gets captured by a Pokeball, which is then abducted by an alien spaceship. The ship turns pink and morphs into a heart, which undergoes a series of transformations.

Xerox Project

I attempted to create a piece of art primarily using curly hair texture and hand prints. The hand prints gradually change from hovering over the scanner to fully pressing against it, creating a gradation. The curly hair was intended to look like waves or flowers that the hand is gradually reaching towards.
