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!

Self Portrait Response

   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. ...

New Media in Art: 58-81 Response

   This section touches upon media performance as it related to different schools of thought in the latter half of the 20th Century. One such example is that of the disruption of the 1968 Miss America beauty pageant. Through this street theater, feminist ideology of the time was able to manifest in performance. This was only one of the many liberation movements that would go on to utilize media performance and street theater as a way to draw from a theory and promote it in some way.    What really interested me in this section was the theory of the Situationist International, who where an organization of avant-garde artists and intellectuals. They subscribed to the idea that theory should be the main idea with which artists draw from for their aesthetic actions. Furthermore, they were critics of work that saw itself as detached from politics and the social climate. This theory concerning self-governing art makes me think about the value of art in relation to its su...

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. My plan is to use music in my video to push the story forward as well. A song will play throughout the video, but it will sound muffled and far away. Once the needle hits the record, the song will become clear and transition into the credits or title card. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions!
