In this class I would like to be able to form new ideas about the impact of technology on art and the importance of innovation for art mediums. From these ideas be able to create a new style of art within my progressing artist themes.
The image I chose is a photo I took when I was in Halifax with my soccer team. The image depicts in the centre a small white house in the distance on an island. This island is in-between the light blue sky with a few clouds that seem very delicate and the deep blue of the ocean that creates a harshness at the bottom. The island itself is very rough and is covered in long dry grass. The photo is taken at peggy’s cove and contains many small houses on the water with lots of fishing gear. All of the houses in this cove are very rustic and cute.
I chose this image because it is when my team went to Halifax for nationals. We got one day off during the whole week we were there and we got to choose between the cove or downtown Halifax to shop and relax.. This was the day after we won our semi-final game vs Queens and the final was the next day. When we were at the cove it was so calming compared to all of the excitement that we had endured throughout the week and made me so at peace with what the next day had in store. This is photo means something to me, because it shows what our team worked for and the places we got to see because of it. It was such an experience to be apart of and will always be one of my favourite memories. Soccer is a big part of my life, but most of all it is the memories that I make with my team which this picture represents.
– Freud’s theories on capitalism
– manipulating the media and how it has influenced what we desire
– how to control the masses in the 21st century
– there are repressed feeling in ourselves of animal instincts
– information drives behaviour is not the case
– unconscious images
– images also contain power to change certain notions
– can images contribute to social change?
– can images motivate ethical action?
– can images embody human freedom?
– With the help of technology you can accomplish anything
– Umberto Boccioni golden man paralleled with iron man shows the connections of technology and power.
– The possibilities of futurism and the excitement of what the world be able to do were shattered by World War 1.
– Technology in World War 1 made people traumatized on what technology was fully capable of.
– Instead of being full hope and prosperity like the futurists thought technology would be it created only destruction.
– Humans became machine like
– but also man and machine became one
– Artists try and deal with the world by creating art
– How do express how beautiful the world is and how I am living?
– Our everyday in a larger context
– Images always corresponds a different perception that is real
– Photography—>Reality is something that you can grasp
– Photography changed what we believe is real
– Change is all the time so the “real” changes time in images
– Science is making us question what is real and what is a human with the power technology
– We do not understand the world now and there reasons have been stripped away
– art is about freedom
– there is no art without technology
– john cage= when im listening to music I hear someone telling me a story, but when im listening to sounds from around the world shows us the sound of life
– sounds organized by someone= music
– orchestra doesn’t play right for a min and 32sec because in that time frame they become apart of the artwork and the composition
– Fluxus performances show freedom- music important part of their performances
– imagination of an artist can change a work
– three transitions- peter campus = artwork came out of him playing around with the cameras in the studio
– art+tech met with scientist and the military behind the curtains creating the world we live in today
