I hope this has to deal with our inspiration for luminaria project.

i chose miranda July because of her corkiness and happy feeling she creates

final project

2009-04-29T14:27:00.000-07:00

The objective of "tell ons" is to create a fun moment, by showing the viewer my own little crazy issues and attempts at live. Honestly is something to make the viewer laugh, my self laugh and have fun and not take life so seriously.

Tell Ons.

2009-04-13T15:53:00.001-07:00

Who: Alyosha burkey
What: tell ons } “chosen one” “I fantasize” “dyson”…etc
What: screening
When:…open house sometime in late April
How: ….
Idea/Concept: “Tell ons” is a series of videos, which can be considered somewhat self-portrait or video diary. The content of these videos is light hearted and comical. They deal with short stories were I am telling on my self about some uncensored comments I make my ideas, infatuations and fantasies. I want the viewer to feel at home, like we are having a personal conversation or look into the life of Alyosha. “Tell ons” are meant to be fun and have fun with our own little dorkiness!

ann arbor film fest

2009-03-31T19:00:00.002-07:00

The festival was an AMAZING experience. Clark and I watch a lot of videos that we really enjoyed and some that are questionable, but overall the experience was great. One of my favorite days was when we had the student showing. It was a good experience seeing what other students are making and what they used and their techniques. I think its good to see other film or video students and view what they are making with different backgrounds of study.

Clark and I missed the gala opening of the film fest but we made it in time to watch the first set of films being shown. I really enjoyed western spaghetti by Pes. What I enjoyed about the animation was the immense attention to detail and also the comical feel of it. Something so simple like making spaghetti and viewing it in a fun form makes it really exciting.

Dahlia by Michael Langan was another one of my favorites… pretty much the whole fest was great I have lots of faves. meeting new people and being able to experience it with classmates made it really fun.

When can we do it again?!?!?!

taking the train was cool, but after a few hours i start feeling claustrophobic, yet its pretty relaxing.

luminaria 2

2009-03-31T19:00:00.001-07:00

"Get schooled" is video that is lighthearted but packs a punch on serious topics relating to art and it's importance or to some it's inimportance

luminaria

2009-03-31T18:59:00.000-07:00

I think Luminaria was really good this year I believe it was a larger turn out than last.
People really enjoyed what us video kids had to offer. And making work that can be easily understood and viewer friendly . seeing people take Utah’s giveaway art and interacting with johns pieces made me feel really happy because people are letting their guard down and opening them selves to “new media” and checking out the goods. My parents really enjoyed it specially my mom and my dad took one of Utah’s videos, not sure if he has watched it yet…

On another note Sarah did an amazing job with the article before and after Luminaria. She makes us seem really hardcore. I like that!

I’m glad that we pulled a kick ass show that was a great with the “normal crowd”

Luminaria proposal

2009-03-01T20:07:00.002-08:00

I have been really thinking about this project and I have had ideas come in and out of my head and trying to really do something that hints art and education and how it is truly needed in our public school. Weather it being art or music, being a band geek myself in my youthful years in grade school. So I would like to do some kind of mockery about what would happen if there were never arts involved in schools or something like that. Maybe a video relating to the importance the arts had on me as a child or what not. The work would probably be a single channel either projection or flat screen depending on what kind of space we have to work with.

How ive been wanting to show case "tell ons"

i choose largely embellished frames because every household at least has one. so i want something relatable not only in the video but also in a physical way.

Self

2009-03-01T20:05:00.000-08:00

In December of 2008 i was lucky enough to catch Pipilotti Rist's show at the MoMA.
I consider this work to be a self portrait not mainly because of the artist, but because of what she asks the viewer to do.

The work is made of seven projections, and its ten minutes long. The Panoramic projections measuring twenty-five feet in height and two hundred feet in length creating a fully integrated sensory experience filled with vivid colors and lush images of vegetation, fauna and human activity. A sculptural seating island designed by the artist and Atelier Rist Sisters accompanies the show. The seating is supposed to represent the iris of an eye. Underneath the seating is the audio,
which consists of abstract sound but also melodic tunes

Pipilotti in a way makes this installation interactive; as a viewer you are meant to interact with the couch and surroundings by taking your shoes off, walking on a plush carpet, laying on the couch, relaxing stretching out watching and listening to the video not only with your eyes, but with your legs, arms, and with your body while stretching out and rolling around, taking in the video and pouring your body out.

This instillation starts becoming about the viewer not in the sense of the imagery and such but in what Pipilotti asks us to do while viewing the work and we are experiencing it through our bodies or one self.

The First Project Proposal for 2009. YIKES

2009-01-28T13:47:00.000-08:00

For my first project I would like to make a small series of comical self-portraits about 3-4 channels. Each video may be thirty seconds to one full minute long. The content of the video will deal with racial comments and lack of knowledge with the English language and life’s funny ways. My goal for this project is just to take a lighthearted side to my self-portraits and have fun and enjoy the funny yet controversial side of life, and maybe help others to not take themselves so seriously and shrug things of their shoulders and enjoy themselves.

feel good videos, yeah!

Ian (be still) is very mesmerizing and calming and those are a few of the qualities that I really enjoyed about the piece. I also really enjoyed the colors in but mainly the work process that was put into this piece fascinates me. The way Joey takes a found image and makes it come alive is brilliant.

I also enjoyed Guillermina zabalas’ state of disunion. The quotes on the wall seemed to explain some of the frustration and angst in the video. But the mainly I see the work as if it were capturing a performance yet works very well as a video.

Kristen's assignment

2008-12-06T13:08:00.000-08:00

If I remember correctly Kristen’s assignment is where do we see our selves as artist in 10 15 years? I remember being asked a question similar to that my junior year in high school I believe the question asked where do I see my self in 5 years or so. I remember responding, “probably at a hardcore concert with my lip pierced!” I did the hardcore concert and the lip piercing but I only did it for a while and in high school days I remember thinking hardcore kid was going to be my way of life. Boy was I wrong.
Its been 5 years since that question and I am married, didn’t see that then and 1 semester away from graduating, in my high school days I actually thought I would end up just eazzing my way, and maybe prolong my college carrier and just live a care free life! So back to Kristen’s question, in a perfect world were everything we hope for and plan on happens I would say, I see my self as a well known movie editor it being indi films or major, and while doing that as a major source of income I would be also practicing my video skills it being self diaries VJ or instillations and be well known trough out the world. Better than Mathew barney and his pompous ass. But this is life and life likes to give us a few crazy curves so, my hopes in 15 years as and artist is to still have the skill, practice and talent to still call my self and artist.

Josh Assignment: uncomfortable

2008-12-04T19:22:00.000-08:00

Before josh even proposed the assignment I had already encountered my uncomfortable moment. My then future to be sister in law planned my batchlorette party or extravaganza evening. She had a really nice evening planed out dinner and some kind of a bar hoping expiriance. I personally am not much of a bar/club goer not really my cup of tea, something about girls or single middle aged women wishing they were 20 again by wearing a 20 year old wardrobe doesn’t really rub my fancy. Anywho our fist stop was dinner, we had chachos… we hit up other spots till we got Swig north, never herd of it till I saw the sign that night. Well the club/bar is one of those kind that attracts all types of single women waiting to be taken and looking very desperately. By this time I have only had say two drinks not enough to get me sick, but a large amount of chahos king kong nachos and was not feeling very fresh, actually very sick to my stomach, on top of that I am feeling very uncomfortable in this bar because I feel that the ladies there think very mean things when you don’t look up to par to their style and “sluttiness” per say. Any who I get really sick, throwing up sick, at the bar and have to use the facilities several times to handle my issues on top of that having to deal with the stares of these women in the bathroom. I don’t think I’ve ever had a more uncomfortable moment than that. Women scare me specially the ones who try to hard and desperate.

i wouldn't mind having this.

2008-12-04T19:18:00.000-08:00

Clark and I continuously oooozz about the Red One camera. Red one camera was founded in 2005 by Jim Jannard, founder of the Oakley company. The company's main product is the Red One, capable of recording at resolutions up to 4096 horizontal by 2304 vertical pixels, directly to flash or hard disk based digital storage. It’s a great camera that gives you really good HD “Industry” quality camera for a not so hefty price. At first consumers thought that red one camera would go for about $250k, but the RED site is saying $17,500 MSRP. Not to bed I think a good investment for UTSA. ^_^

hard candy

2008-10-31T07:40:00.000-07:00

Hard candy.

A while back I, bout 3-4 weeks ago I watched a movie called hard candy with Ellen page. The movie was made back in ’05, and it’s about a 14-year old girl who meets up with a 32-year old photographer on the Internet. Suspecting that he is a pedophile, she goes to his home in an attempt to expose him. The movie is really intense but, it sortta kinda relates to what we’ve been talking about in class about the trolls and online predators. Besides the subject matter of the film the movie is very well made with its use of color, I like how it creates a mood by the color tonality and suspension I guess.

I enjoy the use of color in the film to make the viewer feel a certain type of emotion, or to make them feel uncomfortable. And I think that sort of technique can be used wisely in our video art.

2008-10-21T13:18:00.000-07:00

sorry i dint know or retain that we had to have the question in by sunday....

Write about what made you think that you could succeed as a Video artist?

collaboration

2008-05-02T09:50:00.001-07:00

I would like to discus on my thoughts on collaborating art or performances. I loves it!
I think it’s a great way to open your mind to different ideas besides your own and work on making a unison piece of work. I feel that with my work I am always collaborating being with big medium or a group project, but even in my own personal work,like my self-portraits. I relate to things and events that I experience in that past and when I do a piece I feel the people who I interacted with help me out when doing a self portrait and I see it as a collaboration, there might not be in the video or helped out in the technical way but our experiences are what help me do my work.

Inland Empire

2008-05-02T09:33:00.001-07:00

David lynches movie inland empire, is a special kind of film that every time you watch it you can learn something new about the film. There are several plots happening all at once that are not common subjects that can lead the mind to a state of “what the fuck” it indeed is a hard movie to watch specially when as a viewer you keep getting lost in the film, I would find my self thinking and previous scenes and trying to keep up with what was happening at that moment. But nevertheless Inland empire has inspired me in some of my photo work and going for the whole “WTF” feel and awkwardness and from a video point of view the shooting and the colors in the film are really creative and attractive to my taste of color.

HEy yo

2008-05-02T08:54:00.000-07:00

well i do not know if many of you kids know but, baby aly aka alyosha dotson purchased a numark VJ thingy magig and will be using it in tonight's BIG MEDIUM performance .

the inspiration for purchasing the video mixing came from leslie, when se decided to show us her equipment, and a string of inspiration came rushing throw me, and i am really excited to work with it and collaborate with my friends in visual and audio projects.

i just want to confess that for the past week and a half i have stoped my addiction for gossip news and that resulted in me having a dream of me and bittney spears hangging out in her car and listening to her sing her own songs that came up on the radio. i think brittney misses me reading about her.

Negative land

2008-05-02T07:53:00.000-07:00

On april the 17th Utah mike and myself went on an adventurous roadtrip to swamptown Houston to see negastive land.
The show was really intresting and inspiering. the poreformance consited of a radio show dealing with topics of religion and evolution and bummy subjects like 9/11. The poreformance dealt with the use of crazy equpment ranging from electrice razors to dj tables and this nifty thing that consists of knobs that when turn creat unusual noises. To me the show seemed more like a preformance art than a actuall music show. it was great.

final event proposal

2008-04-30T11:16:00.002-07:00

Video proposal

Performance
Utah, Mike Josh and I will be collaborating in a video audio performance. The plan is to be behind the curtain and having a rear view projection. There will be artist audience interaction. Its pretty much going to be jamming!
We will need a projector, outlets, and tables for our equipment.

Own work
I think I will have a installation piece if I get everything in order and developed and back in time for the show, this piece will show manipulation of the negative. Materials that would be needed for this work I will bring from my house. If that does not happen, plan b is to do a self-portrait and have it be shown as an installation piece.
Projector, dvd player all that good stuff will be needed, if there’s a shortage of projectors I can use a monitor.

Luminaria quikie

2008-03-31T14:35:00.000-07:00

i think the event was successful. better than first friday i do say.

I noticed the the crowed appreciated all the pieces but were really fascinated with Connies. I think that interactive works is a good way to introduce the public to a new form of art. It gets them interested in that piece which leads to other pieces and attractions.
the whole event was really smooth and non chaotic, which i appreciate, i really cant stand an obnoxious crowd.

I also noticed that when i placed my self in Joshes piece people were more attracted to it besides in just passing and looking they actually stopped and gave it a little more time.

i think everyone didi great. if i could do anything differently i would of projected my piece on to the window because i think i would of made a better impression but overall i am pleased.

big big.

2008-03-10T13:09:00.000-07:00

so this is a country that loves big big "generation of fucking stroners" - Utah
Panasonic just released their biggest tv ever, as if 103 inches wasn't enough, panasonic decides to produce a 150 in tv.

addiction with tabloids

2008-03-06T15:16:00.000-08:00

i think my addiction with entertainment gossip is affecting my media skills
but i really don't get i am so infatuated with this form of nosy media
i mean its intriguing because its reality tv at its best but i think deep down inside i am jealous and i want a mob of papparratzy following me.

BUT why are americans... mostly under 25 young aged girls so into it,i men is this the future of media,instead of getting the top story of the fire man saving the kitty from the tree we are going to be getting full coverage of Paris Hilton yelling "fire crotch" across the street!

i need to put and end to my addiction and put my media talent at good use.

posting!!!

2008-03-06T15:07:00.000-08:00

so helo i am finally posting.
yay.
so i finally got the super 8 camera from clark and i am really excited to use it. i am planing on bringing it to Luminaria and try to document the event and try to experiment with it. I asked one of my photography class mates and apparently there is a place here in town that might be able to develop the film so i find that ensuring but just incase i have kodak mail in packets. Anywho but i will try to find out more about this and let ya'll know for future reference.

i think its important for us as video geeks or whateve to learn different ways of achieving video and making videos.

Alyosha Dotson

Luminaria 2008 proposal

My idea is to record images of lights with a variety of colors. The style in which I want to record them is in an out of focus style. I want to give the feel of an illusion or perhaps a vague memory or impression. Equpment that will be needed to show piece:
Option 1:
Use 3 flat screen TV with 3 DVD players and each monitor will show a slightly different image.
I would like the monitors to be mounted on the ceiling looking down onto the viewer.

Option 2:
If the TV is to intense I thought of maybe projecting the images onto each other or just having I image, and it being projected onto a corner. Giving it scene of viewing a reflection from a foreign object. (I would really, really prefer option 1!!!)

There will be sound and will also be needing head-phones, two at the most.
Sound will consist of abstracted sound that I’ve yet to come up with.

someday i'll be the next michel gondry

2007-03-26T19:50:00.001-07:00

Michel Gundry is one of a selective few that has a child like imagination that helps him produce very dream like and fascinating works. In “around the world” by Daft Punk I like how he portrays the dancers in the video as if they were a small community of what the world is, such as life, death, technology and leisure. In Star Guitar Michel portrays a train ride through countryside and city, when definite beats happened Michel emphasizes them with certain object appearing on beat. If it’s a repeating beat the same object appears again however many times that beat happens. On the more tranquil part of the music Michel interprets that by either slowing down the speed.

chris k

2007-02-12T21:26:00.000-08:00

Chris K lecture, lets see how much i remember since its been over a week and my attention is mainly on a 24 episode. Chris is considered a sound artist. One of his main topics of work that he has done is a language removal service. This service works on recordings of people talking and take out the words and just leaves the “uhms” silence stutters etc. It gets to the meaning of social language and gets to the personal. I think this type of language removals makes people seem kinda clueless in a way. This service is a company that Chris started that seems to be based of the Internet. Chris other sound works is certain scenes from movies such as sounds of guns and the barrels hitting the ground creating a sort of peaceful tune.

oh my, last project.

2006-11-12T11:32:00.000-08:00

Well I, Alyosha Dotson was selected by a colleague of mine Mathew French to work with him the last project. I am pretty sure Mr. French has given you the high points of what he wants to do with the final project. We both will be performing in this video among other certified actors. I believe my main participation in this project would be filming and editing, and also generating ridiculous ideas to direct. I believe that if necessary our video can be projected at a large scale or we may decide to use a tv monitor and display it there. I am not quite sure in that department yet. The equipment that we will be using is high tech stuff, such as XL2 and other industry gadgets that I am supposed to know the name of but I don’t. whateve, I get the job done irregardless. Oh yes our video will be a Kun fu video with dramatics in acting! Ok I think uhmm that pretty much sums it up I am quite definite sure Mr. French did an extended version of this future work. I must go now to the clay bodies’ make-a-thon for I am late. Boo.

what what!

2006-11-03T14:53:00.000-08:00

Our project consists of a schlptur/video/perfomance in the video/maybe some audio that is up tho Tori who is in-charge of audio and well i am not quite sure what else. the plan is to project the video on to the sculpture part which is tree branches painted white and the video will be projected on to them. the video is tree branches movie with a silhouette perhaps of someone smoking a cigar. contribution, well my contribution is quite amazing. just kidding. in my group we are distributing the work load quite evenly. my part is to work on the editing and help the rest of the group with their editing skills. i also did some of the filming with my teams input on what shots to get and how to go about achieving each shot. well this is all i can tell you because this is all i know of so far. thank you for stopping by.

she really needs to get a clue

2006-11-03T14:52:00.000-08:00

Andrea bower well, her skills using colored pencils is phenomenal indeed. hmm her work for my taste i suppose was alright i wasn't quite impressed with the content, and she could of had a chance of making that up when she was speaking. her topic with abortion was good i think the best part was the drawings i didn't care much for the graphite prints. and the xerox/wraping paper i think it needed more content. i think andrea needed to really search with in her self and check on how she feels about the situation. it seems like she is just piking a topic which is hot right now and going on with it instead of searching with in her loins on her true feelings about it.

i got a lil confused

2006-10-24T09:03:00.000-07:00

Miranda July is a very well diverse artist; she is a performance artist who is also involved in film, music, writing and acting. Miranda has done more than a hand full of short films like The Amateurist, Are you the favorite person of anybody. Her full length film is called “Me and you and everyone we know” I think this film uses multimedia and video very well, in the film she plays a video artist and it show how she uses deferent forms of media to make her at work. For instance uses photographs of people or sceneries and involves the picture creatively as a form of actual scene and conversation. She may add sound to the image/video by using different media means like a T.V. using snow channel for ambient noise like an ocean. Miranda also uses the internet as a form of art which gets the common man or woman involved. Her site is called “learned to love you more” and it involves assignments for people to do. My favorite assignment is give advice to your self when you were younger.

"going digital 2.0"

2006-10-15T14:28:00.000-07:00

Well, the lecture was good I suppose, Scott Martin was really thorough with his explanations about color management, calibration, color correction, slide scanning and shooting with a digital camera.
But I believe the most important part of his lecture, to me at least, was color correction and calibration. Calibrating is a program that what you see on the screen is going to be the exact same color, and such as when you pint it out. Sometimes what we view on or computer screen may be what we want and expect to come out in the printer but most of the time what we print usually come out a little bit darker. So I recon the calibration program or computer accessory it helps you get the exact same color that you have on your paper on your screen, so there will be no surprises when the final product is printed.

no more owlssss!!!

2006-10-08T13:46:00.000-07:00

So far my project has been going well. This is after changing my idea completely and four hours of trying to figure out final cut pro, but I got figured out finally… kind of but so far I know my way around it pretty good. I think I am getting too used to avid. But it is good to know both editing programs. My project still needs quite a bit before it’s complete. Ideas keep popping in my mind and sometimes I go completely blank. I suppose i go blank because I believe that there’s so much going on in my cranium and maybe that’s a reason for my work being so random. Sometimes it really bothers me and I kind of panic and don’t know what to do, but this morning I sat while eating a banana nut muffin, and I decided that since music is such a big influence on my work, at least it was last year and it was kind of a guide for me, kept me sane and with an abundance of ideas I decided to incorporate some music into my work that kind of goes with a certain scenes. It is still random but I believe it will tie things together smoothly. The work kind of separates it self from the theme but in the end the theme will be pronounce.

Late I know and I apologize.

2006-10-01T21:43:00.000-07:00

At the first the article “Second thought” regarding second life, did not make much sense to me due to the fact that it took a while for them to get to the point, but I am sure some of my Sunday evening laziness took part in it as well. What I understood form the article is that people are creating a second type of life by the use of video games. This made me think of a certain game called “The Sims,” this game is about creating a make believe life or family and controlling events with in the game. I believe this second life deal is about having full control on a fictional life through media. As if were and escape from the reality of life, or in harsh words the reality of how fucked up life can be, through the perspective that we as people can’t control certain situations. I also believe this second life is a way to make certain fantasies of ours come true, not only controlling the situation of a fictional second life but fantasies that as real human we can not achieve, maybe because they are absurd and just plainly not politically correct with society or perhaps the fact that our fantasies can be so imaginative and creative, like flying rhinos and singing pigs with cats wearing boots as bass. To a degree this second life talk is a great way to let people not only interact with new media but also, expand their imagination and making dream only situations come true.

"it beats me, but I do not know"

2006-09-24T02:09:00.000-07:00

I think Kota pretty much ruled. I really enjoyed his explanation about how music videos have completely changed over a period of twenty plus years. I do believe that over a time period of fame and such some bands do become a little bit egotistical which later do become narcissist. I agree with Kota that some videos should be left with out the subject of the band. And let either the band or some artist become creative and create certain light movements or animations for unique rhythms with in the music. I think the highlight of the lecture, to me at least, was the recreation of Bjork’s “all is full of love video” by the two transvestites. Pure genius. I believe that the video in a non-direct way shows that even with a little but an abundance of imagination a lot can be achieved.

P.S I am one of them folks who do make up their own music videos while listening to the good ole ipod. It rulzzzz

I suppose I have chosen owls as my theme for the next exercise or exercises. I like vintage owls to be precise I think they have a lot of character to them, sassiness, silliness, and some sort of pride. Personally I think they are very calming and chill. Really just see for your self:

Progress report, which is not so progressive.

I believe my project will consist of some type of picture collage with the input of some 3 D materials. How will I achieve this I am not quite sure yet, maybe scanning perhaps. My project will be a utopia. The utopia will be a vineyard that my parents own. The progress on this project… well its to its minimum, meaning its yet to get started because I am freaking out on how to execute this endeavor (I am sure that word doesn’t go, but it sounds good) yet my goal for the day is to get what need cut up and start figuring were to place certain images and such.

indentity theft perhaps.

Identity is a persons complete information, what he/she does, and does not, their unique finger prints, DNA, hair color, blood type. Identity in the web is more of a personal type of information. For instance myspace, letting the reader know you, through what you write, which, is your best interpretation of your self, as a civilian of the world. Identity on the web can be a picture of you and a brief paragraph stating your interest and dislikes. Yet the amazing part of the web is that people sometimes alter things to seem more appealing. Web identity is not always true, but that's the magic of the web, for those who whish they were something else, the web can let them be anything they would like to portray themselves as in their own site. Web identity can be also helpful for an artist, business person etc. I believe the main reason of identity is to get known, and achieve greatness in what we do through the web, regardless of what it is, business, pleasure, and pastime.

"what is multimedia"

2006-08-26T00:30:00.000-07:00

Multimedia is a medium of communications with the use or association of several medium components. Multimedia art to me means the use of computer technology and some old school technology to enhance and image and make it work the way the artists wants it. Multimedia is usually worked with two or more combinations elements such as text, image, sound, speech, video, and computer programs. Multimedia can be dated back to the 1800’s when the first, telegraph was sent. Ever since then multimedia has evolved into more artistic way of communications and art work such as film, sound, photography, etc. Multimedia art can be done by using the computer to add special features, like enhancing a certain color to stand out and blur the background or foreground. Multimedia can also be used to make thing more futuristic or more abstract, and it can make the viewer feel as if he or she is really in the image or in the world that the artists is trying being portray through the work. Multimedia today is a big participant in the marketing world especially for clothing designers; it’s a unique way for them to show off their product with an edgy style, to attract the consumer.
