Reading Response- Extra Credit

Video Installation- "The Body, The Image, and the Space-In-Between"

Very useful read, especially with our final project. Margaret Morse really details the necessities in making an installation successful, in which sound and moving image are of main focus. Video Installation is defined as a contemporary art form that combines video technology with installation art, using as much external factors and environments to further stimulate the viewer. Morse goes further to state that the "disposition of bodies & images in space... and their...temporal and experiential passage,"   is the one of the most important factors of video installation. In others words, all factors and elements must be taken into consideration when installed, and taken down-"the passage of the viewer through the space is what creates the work." That last quote definitely hold true in the sense that your installations, whether video or not, is only as good as the space you place it in; it may not seem like it but the surrounding environment in which your art lays places subconscious impressions.

Final Project Update

All in all, very comfortable with this last project. Most of my footage has already been taken, all that's left is the compilation and final editing. Surprisingly enough I am still sticking to my original idea, of showing the complications of love through the eyes of a women- we have a constant need to be assured that we are loved, and yet even with this assurance, we continually questions such a fact. I aim to show this notion in three steps, from youth-to adolescence-to marriage- and how the cycle never ends.

As you can tell, I am completely infatuated with themes of continuation, and cycles. I don't in anyway consider myself a feminist, yet I seem to gravitate towards that genre.

In Progress Report

I forgot to post my progress over the weekend!

I've modified my project a little so that I could capture as much footage within the limited amount of time I had. If you don't remember, mine was on the subject of bodily decay, only I ran into some major obstacles because THE ANTS WOULD NOT EAT THE DEAD ANIMALS. So after many hours of sitting like a proper creeper in the parking lot, filming ants not-eat the dead animals, I called it a day and took a different approach.

I was really fascinated by the way Danse Macabre was filmed, so I did something similar with the animals. It's less about the corrosive process and more about the stillness versus movement of the body in death using the two animal corpses I found. After much sloshing through a questionable canal, I got what footage I wanted!

Final Project Progress

For this I will continue my idea about the conversation about love & lust inspired by Candace Breitz. The lab was closed this weekend and i'm having a hard time finding people to participate in my video but I should have things edited smoothed out by critique. I plan on doing my critique in our usually classroom, using 3-4 of the monitors.

Final Project Inspiration

For this final project I will talk about my difficult to study abroad. Live in a different country with no family is really hard, and since I am here I had some troubles!! This video will be personal and I will talk about myself.
It will be like Art Must be Beautiful - Marina Abramovic.

I will shot only my face and talk a lot in my own language, for my audience understand I will put subtitles.

Final Project In-Progress Update

Last week, I intended my project to be a recorded performative piece.  It was supposed to take place in our new house under construction, but by the time I came home, the construction crew's schedule and an newly constructed unsightly wall ruined my vision.  It would have been a piece of a person performing different actions, to represent self expression and statements about the self, occurring in this unfinished space.

Still inspired by the idea of strange and personal forms of self expression, I photographed people and their belongings.  People's "things" reveal a lot about them, for example, their shoes.  I want 2 side-by-side projections: one being a reel of portraits, the other being a reel of objects.  It would be interesting to go against people's expectations, and mix the items with the incorrect owners.
