A Few Favorite Films

    Good: I like how you manage to showcase many of your favorite films in a single GIF.

    Bad: 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!

New Media in Art: 116-134 Response

   Art is the total event. As the definition and parameters for what constituted art evolved through artistic movements like those of Fluxus and Futurists, artists began to measure the artistic value of their work in terms of the totality of its noise, subject, process, and psychology. Especially regarding multimedia art, the physical and literally-observable characteristics of an art piece (or installation in this case) were not as important as the ideas behind the art. This, along with the prevalence of viewer participation and unconventional presentation practices in early video installation art, solidified the idea of art being an event that has a context in its surroundings.     This section of the book really inspires me to experiment with the way in which I present my work to the world. Up until now, the only way my work has been shown is through the means of a frame hanging on the wall or on a projector for critique. Inversely, artists like Julia Sche...

Inspirations List

   The following is a list of artists of many different mediums that I have drawn inspiration from throughout my life. I felt the need to create this list in the first place because I thought it might be interesting to reference and that it might reveal some of the subconscious ideas in my head behind why I do things the way that I do in my work. Although it is important to be original in what you do, it is also important to acknowledge that you are the product of what you see and what you admire. As artists continue to inspire me, I add them to the list. I have separated the artists by medium.     Photographers Nan Goldin Steve Roe Philip Lorca DiCorcia Daniel Mercadante Erin S. Murray Gabriel Isak Joshua Aronson Tanner Abel Platon     Video Directors Damien Chazelle Stanley Kubrick Titanic Sinclair John Hughes François Truffaut Hayao Miyazaki Spike Jonze Alejandro Jodorowsky     Traditional Artists Egon Shield...

Self Portrait Response

Image
   This self-portrait assignment was a difficult one to approach. In these past couple years of art and photography, little to none of my work has included myself (in a literal sense) in any capacity. Not only was actually becoming the subject of a piece of work intimidating, but the self-reflection that would come with it as well.    My online footprint is very minimal, largely due to my aversion to social media since middle school. If you had searched my name before I began attending Washington State this term, you would find an old Instagram account with no pictures and my name mentioned in an article about an art show that I was in. However, since becoming a student here, I have created another blog for my Digital Imaging course. Here, I have been posting my work fairly frequently. This blog is not only the sole way of finding my work online, but it is also the only information that an outsider observer could use to try to make sense of who Kyle Kopta is. ...
