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.

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.

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...

Camera Obscura

I decided to make a camera obscura using a cereal box. I began by gathering the supplies: Cereal box, bag, scissors, tape, and a thumbtack. Then I cut a square in the box: Then I cut the bag and taped it over the hole: Lastly, I used the thumbtack to poke a hole in the opposite side of the cereal box. Then it was time to hold it up to a light source. I used a lamp that hangs above my desk. Although it's somewhat dark and not the easiest to see in a picture, there is an inverted reflection of the lamp: (You can see the large circular rim and the cord coming out of the bottom rather than the top) Overall, I thought it was an interesting project to do and would like to see what a large-scale camera obscura looks like too.
