Introduction:
My name is Katherine Frein. I’m a duel citizen of Canada and the United States. Besides art my interests include animals and video games.I plan on going to veterinary school after getting my BFA.
What I Hope to get from this class:
New ideas and skills to help me advance my art practice. As well as more experience working with digital media.
Comments:
Initially not what I expected but I’m excited for in depth discussions. I hope to get some interest art pieces from this class.
Class #2 Notes
What is an Image?
A reflection of the real world.
A moment.
Information.
Digital images are becoming an important way to communicate. (Class thesis)
-Emojis are a key part of our digital communication.
-“A picture is worth a thousand words” It would be impossible to describe a moment with words as accurately as an image.
What is an apple? What is the connection between the lines that make a word and the item or the sounds that we say?
This reminds me of the art piece “One and three chairs” where we are meant to determine what is a chair, the image of a chair, the description of a chair, or a physical chair.
Are symbols images?
If a formula (H2O) is an “image” how is that different from words and letters? Are they also images?
Why do we need to understand “what is an image”? Because it’s become a language and we need to be able to ‘speak’ that language.
How do you I create an image that has a power over people?
Where does the source “A” for your image come from? (A<-B)
Mine came from the question "What does the feeling of eating an apple look like?" I drew upon my memories and experiences. I added references to the most common apple I eat or the form I eat it in.
But A can also be emotions, definitions, convention, culture, or concepts. (A can be many things)
Is "A" real?
It's the same as asking are emotions, memory, or imagination real?
If you want to ask what is real you need to know what real is.
Those things are not tangible but they are valid.
*This class is getting way more philosophical than I expected from a 200 level Digital Media studio course.
Representation, something that stands in for something else. B is a representation of A. The argument being made is A is made up from things we cannot comprehend but our brain is fabricating for us to understand. That A is actually a representation as well.
What is the color of:
Joy: Glowing, warm, yellow, star/round/orb
Pain: Sharp/Jagged, pulsating, red/bruise colored, (Depends on the type of pain. Physical? Emotional? A bruise? A cut?)
Class #4 Notes
On onenote sounds is under images, I don’t think a sound can be an image. I think a sound can induce an image- like the exercise we did a few weeks ago, but it in and of itself is not an image.
The contents of the image are an important thing that tells you about the times. However the way the image is constructed/made is also an important signifier. Sometimes it can even create a different narrative than the images shown.
Even in an image depicting Christ, the implementation of one point perspective changes the narrative and creates a place for the viewer. Despite Christ being in the center of the painting, the viewer is the true center of the image. (Honestly a great way to describe the early Renesaunce- the enlightenment and shift away from the church and towards science by discovering the world around us)
The invention of the photograph made things that people couldn’t imagine, real. A photograph was a documentation of the real. People were able to see things that they couldn’t see- that paintings couldn’t portray. It also expanded the field of the artist. You no longer needed to be a great painter to create an image.
A narrative is the development of something as it progresses through time.
A translation doesn’t need to have a connection to time. It changes A to B rather than focusing on the connection on between A to B to C ect.
Anyone can be a photographer. Everyone has the ability to take a photo because the camera has become so intuitive and widespread.
(From text) “Photographs are autonomous, they have become detached from function.”
I believe certain photographs have function but we are in an age where they don’t have to have a function. We can also take images that have a function and change that original function to something new by using it for whatever means we want.
The largest difference between older photographs and new images is that we are unable to tell is something is real or not. In the sense that photographs can be manipulated in ways that were never before possible.
We are also able to take images from the digital world, which itself is new.
Contemporary images put a question mark around what is the real.
Information: Precision and reproduction
The loom was able to transform the essence of a pattern into a punchcard and then using that information the loom would create the aporia the pattern.
