New Media in Art: 191-212 Response
This section of the book discusses the idea of computer art and its identity as a technology-driven medium. As is the case with other art forms reliant on technology, computer art has evolved as the technology behind it has evolved. As the medium itself changes, artists are able to express their visions in new and exciting ways. Furthermore, the increased availability of the personal computer since the 1980s has allowed for the flourishing and democratization of digital art as a whole (similarly to the rising popularity of personal video cameras prior). What I found most interesting in this section was the idea of cinema and its relationship to its increasingly digital medium. As digital video becomes the norm in the film industry, the raw footage that a camera captures has become functional primarily as a raw material through which the artist edits and sculpts into the final product; similar to a sculptor, the raw images taken by a camera become comparable to mar...
Storyboard
This is my storyboard for the stop motion project. As I was brainstorming ideas for this project, I thought about the parts of my daily life that incorporate a lot of motion that I could capture. I listen to records every night, and I thought the process of putting a record on the turntable had some potential for interesting motion to play with.

Good: I like how you manage to showcase many of your favorite films in a single GIF.
ReplyDeleteBad: The sheer amount of activity in this gif does make it a little hard to focus on any one thing though. This could be a good thing though, if you want the viewer to feel like you have an overwhelming variety of films you like.
Possible Fix: Condensing the number of TVs down to 4 and making each one transition between 3 different films would improve the viewer's focus. It would also help to improve the transition between the end and start of the loop so that it's less jarring.
I really like how you added a personal touch to this with some of your favorite films! The way you displayed them is also unique and adds a really nice element to separating the images! I agree that there is a little much going on, so it's a little hard to focus, but I think that can also be beneficial depending on the point you're making. Did you make all the GIFs in the screens? If so, how? Great job!
