Xerox Project

For the Xerox project, we had to Xerox our entire body and make something with the scans. So i made a puppet. Here is is dancing per Santiago's request. Kinda creepy, but hey, its art! :)


Seb:

Very clever  title! Very cool how you were 2-d and everything else was 3-d. It brings up the question of reality and how material possessions and technology are viewed in such high regards. It also questions what is more important, the technology itself or the person who made the technology. Very interesting and effective piece.

Francesca:

“The Mantis” was amazing. Very sexual and exquisite piece (pun intended).  I love love loved it.

Grace:

I really liked your project. I love how you showed the motion of sex with still scans. Super cool and provocative J

Luis:

I loved how you put yourself into all different characters. It allowed you to be at many different places at once, I can see it as questioning identity and perspective. Very good project.

Hessa:

Loved the collage and the story behind it. Very good piece

Sarah:

I like how you incorporated text with the scans as well. It interestingly gives more meaning to the words than the scans of the people.

Jon:

Very cool, I liked how you morphed yourself into Popeye and Olive Oyl. It would have been cool if you just did Popeye but I like how you took on the female role as well. Very gender neutral. Love it.

Stef:

I loved your project. The eyes look 3-d. I also like the idea of the monster in the closet. Loved how you did layers and layers of scans. Very cool.

Danielle:

I LOVE LOVE LOVED YOURSS!! Soooo awesome. Definitely my favorite project. Love how you had yourself in a specific scene that we can tell has happened before J

Emily:

I loved your project. I really like that you first had the lamb and then it turned into an abstract shape. First one is like pictorial photography and the second is vernacular. Great project,

Hannah:

Ok, yours was on a completely different level. I don’t even know how you came up with such an awesome idea and I don’t know how you pulled it off either. I’m still in awe. I showed all my friends, your amazing. Hands down. Amazing.

Abby:

Very cool project. I like how it questions if the person is emerging from the ground or if they are being pulled down. Very cool and interesting project. I also liked how you made it outside so lots of people could see it. Great project!

Rubix Cube

I was planning on creating a rubix cube in Maya and adding video to the faces but it didnt work right. So here is just the Rubix cube.

Video Art Piece

Danielle:

I really liked your audio and how you were beat boxing. I also like the effects that you put on the video. My favorite part was how it pixilated out at the end. Great final project.

Hessa

I really like how you used a strobe effect with the images. It didn’t matter that we could read the text or understand what was going on in the videos because we were learning subconsciously.  I like how you were in it as well and reciting a poem. Great piece!

Luis

I really like how you merged polar opposite environments. This piece also brings up perspective because of how fast it looks like you’re going on the motorcycle and how slow it looks like you’re going in the car. It was very dream like.  Awesome final piece Luis! Great having you in class as well!!

Seb

I really like how you completely decontextualized every piece of your video and technology. I particularly enjoyed the traditional Arabic writing juxtaposed with Facebook. Great final piece and great having a class with you again! Im gonna miss you when im gone! Ma’a salama habibi.

Stef

I loved your piece! Perfectly depicts an “insane” state of mind. Awesome awesome awesome.

Emily

Really liked how you built off of your previous piece. I also likes how you made comething so taboo into a joke with the audio and visual effects. Great project.

Francesca

I really liked your piece! Loved how you made speaking into singing. Super cool and very decontextualized!

Jon

Loved your video and I wish there was more. Very creative way of looking at popcorn and connecting it to popcorn’s history with music.

Roy:

I liked your use of iTunes visualizer, especially when you used your own voice. Great work.

Hannah

I loved your video!! You put yourself into the digital world! Awesome piece!!

Sarah

I really enjoyed your piece. Lots of different devices and visual elements. Great piece.

Abby

I loved how you showed us a different perspective than we are used to seeing. Great idea and great video.

Grace

Yours was just exquisite! (pun intended)
