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

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

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!

SKETCH SKETCHY

AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!





(trying to figure out how to use builtin camera as a video cam. )

all ladies

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

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.
