you thrive<br />
when you love<br />
you stay alive.<br />
Watching this beautiful sunset,<br />
my eyes and my mind<br />
thought to be true that <br />
falling for you was new while feeling loves' deja vu.<br />
Having him in my life now makes me realize<br />
my heart in soul never going unnoticed.<br />
From the first moments we laid our eyes upon each other, it was something different.<br />
Did sparks fly?<br />
Did the heavens open up?<br />
Did cupid shot his love infected arrow?<br />
None of the above.<br />
But what did happen was that God sent me someone to truely and deeply care for me.<br />
there was no catch to it.<br />
simplicity is our friend but often we can complicate matters.<br />
Falling for someone should be a simple day by day process<br />
with low expectation and a bit of faith.<br />
On this day, watching this sunset, he has left an impression on my heart<br />
which know I willl never forget.<br />
<br />

She is an Italian <span style="color: black;">fashion designer</span> and current Vice-President of the <span style="color: black;">Vers</span><span style="color: black;">ace</span> Group, as well as chief designer. She owns 20 percent of the entire <span style="color: black;">stock market</span> assets of Versace. Her brother<span style="color: black;">, Santo Versace</span>, owns 30 percent. Donatella's daughter <span style="color: black;">Allegra Versace</span> inherited 50% of the company stock after the death of <span style="color: black;">Gianni Versace. On 15 July 1997, outside the re-constructed Versace Mansion, also known as <i><span style="color: black;">Casa Casuarina</span></i>, in <span style="color: black;">Miami, Florida, Gianni Versace</span> was shot dead by <span style="color: black;">Andrew Cunanan</span>. A multi-continent search ensued for the suspected spree killer, but Cunanan avoided capture by committing suicide a few days after the death of Gianni Versace. year and three days after Gianni's death in July 1998, Donatella Versace mounted her first <span style="color: black;">couture</span> show for the Versace Atelier at the <span style="color: black;">Hôtel Ritz Paris.</span> She built her runway over the hotel's swimming pool, as her brother had done every season, though this time using sheer glass. She now oversees the production of a dozen collections each year, though these days, Donatella is just as famous for her celebrity entourage and glittering parties.</span><br />

</div><div align="left"> When you look at Versace, it always screams elegance and grace out. The modern style of her work is what makes it popular amoung celebrities and regular people too! I think that it was a tragedy what happen to her brother bu ti'm glad to see her stepping up and we know he would be proud. Having a worldwide brand of clothing shoes and so forth is a stepping stone in life that she has reached although it hasn't been easy. In my opinion, struggle can be an art form although unbeautiful and demented, we all go through it at some point. For this reason, she has made history as a fashion designer.</div>Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075771598771927661.post-25725942483583636372011-05-13T14:00:00.000-07:002011-05-13T14:00:24.151-07:00Alexander McQueen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7GM5C9U89RB13_bWLN8S7VuwUhx8pcL7xfHfMMiHYAA7G05OBrDmsR382ouLtsumS8gjPuUpt6EOujL_gi25c-hTrXcLlw6mnPTD7zs4tvljTkYkenT-3z8CwgriVhvE1BG2w3Kj7TFW/s1600/alexander-mcqueen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7GM5C9U89RB13_bWLN8S7VuwUhx8pcL7xfHfMMiHYAA7G05OBrDmsR382ouLtsumS8gjPuUpt6EOujL_gi25c-hTrXcLlw6mnPTD7zs4tvljTkYkenT-3z8CwgriVhvE1BG2w3Kj7TFW/s400/alexander-mcqueen.jpg" width="306" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>(1969-2010) </strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> He was a <span style="color: black;">British fashion designer</span> and <span style="color: black;">couturier</span> best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British <span style="color: black;">tailoring</span>, his tendency to juxtapose female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows.

Do you see those shoes? I can see why off the wall celebrities like Lady Gaga would love to be seen in those. I think that he was a great creative artist because many of his styles came to life by themselves without the models even wearing them. In my opinion, that's what makes a designer just that. People want something that they have never seen before and McQueen definitely delivered his capitivating styles. <div style="text-align: left;"></div>Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075771598771927661.post-40195882122430064742011-05-13T13:48:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:48:46.578-07:00Maya Lin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFylUEKZr66vilaObNx36KJpWLI6EqdwONUA-5uacs4HlWWQlYpJbUMgphiw8rZEpP_SkSRAVl5xR0VnaehoXQtMjFoHEtqFvAr_wgjyFP2gsPLZzDKlvYQkE_VUeZhfxUPIJFB214YDVt/s1600/mayalb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFylUEKZr66vilaObNx36KJpWLI6EqdwONUA-5uacs4HlWWQlYpJbUMgphiw8rZEpP_SkSRAVl5xR0VnaehoXQtMjFoHEtqFvAr_wgjyFP2gsPLZzDKlvYQkE_VUeZhfxUPIJFB214YDVt/s320/mayalb.jpg" width="249" /></a></div> Maya Lin, a <span style="color: black;">Chinese American,</span> was born in <span style="color: black;">Athens, Ohio</span>. Landscape is the context and the source of inspiration for Ms. Lin's art. She peers curiously at the landscape through a twenty-first century lens, merging rational and technological order with notions of beauty and the transcendental. Utilizing technological methods to study and visualize the natural world, Ms. Lin takes micro and macro views of the earth, sonar resonance scans, aerial and satellite mapping devices and translates that information into sculptures, drawings and environmental installations. Her works address how we relate and respond to the environment, and presents new ways of looking at the world around us. <br />

A British <span style="color: black;">sculptor</span>, <span style="color: black;">photographer</span> and <span style="color: black;">environmentalist</span> producing <span style="color: black;">site-specific</span> sculpture and <span style="color: black;">land art</span> situated in natural and urban settings. He lives and works in Scotland.The materials used in Andy Goldsworthy's art often include brightly-coloured flowers, icicles, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, stone, twigs, and thorns. He has been quoted as saying, "I think it's incredibly brave to be working with flowers and leaves and petals. But I have to: I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole. Goldsworthy is generally considered the founder of modern <span style="color: black;">rock balancing. Photography plays a crucial role in his art due to its often ephemeral and transient state. According to Goldsworthy, "Each work grows, stays, decays – integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its heights, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expressed in the image. Process and decay are implicit."</span><br />

She was a Cuban-American artist famous for her <span style="color: black;">performance art</span> and "earth-body" sculptural, photographic, and video work. Much of Mendieta's work may be considered strongly <span style="color: black;">feminist</span> by some; it is in essence autobiographical.<u> </u>Later Mendieta focused on a spiritual and physical connection with the land, most particularly in her <i>Silueta</i> pieces, which typically involved carving her imprint into sand or mud, making body prints or painting her outline or <span style="color: black;">silhouette </span>onto a wall. In 1983 she won the Prix de Rome and took up residence in Rome, Italy. During the last 2 years of her life she started creating "objects", mostly permanent sculptures and drawings, it was her intention to retain the connection with nature via the vibrations of the natural elements she continued to use in the works.<br />

He was an american painter, assemblist and pioneer of creating the concepts for pereformance art. Kaprow helped develop the "Environment" and the "Happenings" in the late 50's-60's. Eventually Kaprow shifted his practice into what he called "Activities", intimately-scaled pieces for one or several players devoted to the study of normal human activity in a way congruent to ordinary life.The "Happenings" first started as tightly scripted events, in which the audience and performers followed queues to experience the art. Kaprow says that the Happenings were "events that, put simply, happen." There was no structured beginning, middle, or end, and there was no distinction or hierarchy between artist and viewer. It was the viewer's reaction that decided the art piece, making each Happening a unique experience that cannot be replicated. His work attempts to integrate art and life. Through Happenings, the separation between life, art, artist, and audience becomes blurred. The "Happening" allows the artist to experiment with body motion, recorded sounds, written and spoken texts, and even smells.<br />

Reviewing Kaprows work, I can see that he has an outskirt look on art. He deals with some issues in humanity which they face daily and something are more random because as he stated this that just happen. The arrtistic view would be to look at how he can about and how he has ended up. Is there muchof a difference? I think the fact that he gets people invovled and it isn't just a solitary thing fot him is hte reason he is ground breaking.Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075771598771927661.post-72795632743910728542011-05-13T12:59:00.000-07:002011-05-13T12:59:21.453-07:00Improv Everywhere<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/soAk3F0wX9s?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div> A New York City-based prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places.

He has all these thousands of participants who do not even know each other being unified for a purpose and we can not even come to conclusion about social security and welfare in our society. I think it is a a tremendous contribution to the art world because although people do not undrestand what is going on at the time, it is making a statement of I dnt care and I do what I please. That's an important way to look at life and the people who surround you in unchanging judgements.

In life, there is conformity and non conformity hands a bigger challege to be apart which of these people choose to be. I think that its just amazing that I havent ever really seeen anything like th is but I hope to start in the future. They are intriguing yet we try to find ways to figure out why instead of embracing them in the art world. <br />

He attended the East Side Art School in Paris where he was awarded a scholarship to go to Paris as an apprentice to the abstract sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Brancusi was a strong influence in Noguchi's art because he felt that the art form he used was well suited for him. His form of art suggest that nature with one another in their surroundings. Noguchi's work was greatly inspired by European surrealism and abstraction which is art that demonstrates the imaginations while using distortion in it and does not resemble any object. </span></span></b><br />

I can definitely appreciate his abstract inspiration because it shows through his work. I can see that he finds the beauty in a chair, table, cup or even a playground. You can see his detail indeed with his work which is why I think he is so admirable as a artist.</span></b></span><br />

I am grateful for what it had brought forth and how I have been so inspired by it. I know that having art everywhere you go makes everything more substantial because people have something to look foward to. Music, poetry, dancing, freestyling etc. is what you will see in these couple videos and I highly encourage comments. The main reason I have made these types of videos id to show how video making can be motivating yet capitivating; joyful while energetic. So please do feel free to replay and enjoy!<br />

I thought that it was spontaneous the way the objects moves although they had the help of the machines for air. It was exciting watching how they would transform next. For example, looking at the "ballerina legs" initially I didn't know that they were going to move so I was astonished when they did! The air filled legs were so graceful and poise how a ballerina should actually be while dancing. The artist who creates these pieces is a technological step in front of the rest of us! It was had not to be amused by watching them all move and transform. Also, I liked the way the direct light hits the art because everything stands out more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-11-friKcrjqfgQf8S-YIlNVelNHsyD_QE3kMNThHeQzdbyjDqEBfdMuCWv1eTzs-WZftMMUrMvfibjQI7t-F_T-TYSC-UeQLPZ1_dE8gu_2SOoSHcjM39fx7IUlESSdy69SG6eufCMhg/s1600/IMG00220-20110402-1237.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-11-friKcrjqfgQf8S-YIlNVelNHsyD_QE3kMNThHeQzdbyjDqEBfdMuCWv1eTzs-WZftMMUrMvfibjQI7t-F_T-TYSC-UeQLPZ1_dE8gu_2SOoSHcjM39fx7IUlESSdy69SG6eufCMhg/s320/IMG00220-20110402-1237.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Moving foward, these pictures above have interesting story seeing that they exbit that we were in, we didn't think we were suppose to be in. I was funny until other walked in then I gained recomposure. My favorite was the magazine stacked against the wall because I myslef am a magazine collector. If I had to choose one to take home that day, that would have been it! The rest of the pieces like the blurring pictires and the boxes with balls falling out I found funny too. Who wants a blurring picture? As time went on gazing at it, it realized that only parts were blurred and not the whole photo. Thus, the artist must have wanted the audience to concentrate on tha particular aspect instead of the whole thing.</div>Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075771598771927661.post-4288325830234890662011-04-15T15:55:00.001-07:002011-04-15T16:22:01.429-07:00Harold Cohen / Aaron<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBbsZnAJJPdbgMvDpnULESUmQ6ppEzPhp9UPPFvYa2A7_99ZwPthWlnV051uDX8vwj1Eact9s1-4AzwttL2Pik2tKSfJBPYWVO3z3aDsaKZHuo_NTl3ZEPdJamP_99fnZJdwEyT49R28e/s1600/harold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBbsZnAJJPdbgMvDpnULESUmQ6ppEzPhp9UPPFvYa2A7_99ZwPthWlnV051uDX8vwj1Eact9s1-4AzwttL2Pik2tKSfJBPYWVO3z3aDsaKZHuo_NTl3ZEPdJamP_99fnZJdwEyT49R28e/s320/harold.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> Harold Cohen studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London, and taught there for many years before joining the Visual Arts Department in 1968. His work as a painter has been exhibited widely both in galleries and in major museums. After moving to San Diego, Cohen became interested in computer programming and particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. On the basis of his early research he was invited, in 1971, to spend two years at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Stanford University as a Guest Scholar. </div><br />

I makes me feel excited and joyful which to me is why they are so intriguing. Additionally, you get to see a bit of everything from fantasy, nature and emotions. Although I may be wrong, this what I see and feel looking into these picture. In recent years, Cohen's work has attracted increasing media attention. Discovery OnLine broadcast the painting machine in action directly from his studio onto the World Wide Web in 1996, and AARON has been featured on a number of TV programs including <em>Beyond 2000, Scientific American Frontiers</em>, a program on programming for the BBC's Open University Series and <em>It'll Never Work,</em> a BBC program for children.<br />

I has a theme of SL (second life) in collaboration with RL (real life). If you can see the tank that the camera is circling around, it looks as if something is inside. I looks like basically life inside and has. I brings me to the thought that maybe as we live here on earth, we are nothing but things inside of things. For example, the Earth is a part of the solar system which is a part of the milky way which is apart of space, (so on..) etc. This indicates that she is a fantasy artist with more of a realistic view on her work.<br />

Much of his work is characterized by an fasination in language, often manifesting itself in a playful, mischievous manner. For instance, the neon <i>Run From Fear- Fun From Rear,</i> or the photograph <i>Bound To Fail,</i> which literalizes the title phrase and shows the artist's arms tied behind his back. However, there are serious concerns at the heart of his practice. He seems to be moved by the nature of communication and language's inherent problems, as well as the role of the artist as supposed communicator and manipulator of visual symbols.<br />

Whenin class creating helpful ideas about Nauman's work, one person said that he is less of an artist because he didnt actually got through with the whole process. He set the building block ideas of what he wanted which makes him just as much of an artist as the person who designed it. Additionally, I feel that his messages in his work are remarkable because they speak the language of the human race: emotions. He helps us to realize what we are about how to perceive others around us. Thus, I believe that anyone can be impacted by his art!Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075771598771927661.post-83616941917037914192011-04-15T15:26:00.000-07:002011-04-15T15:29:14.088-07:00Gary Hill<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZJOHJ1M606HelN3u6JDS8g3ssEvg_VyLg1FORTStMr7abHiAe0OvRHb1aUGj4iDOi6ppkdLJwOdTkHWj3z3UIXS0z-oRkPRB9wPPXYWw5cRqIjHb06dfq6wJm7yU1O_EzlTOTdGhQQpLe/s1600/GaryHill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZJOHJ1M606HelN3u6JDS8g3ssEvg_VyLg1FORTStMr7abHiAe0OvRHb1aUGj4iDOi6ppkdLJwOdTkHWj3z3UIXS0z-oRkPRB9wPPXYWw5cRqIjHb06dfq6wJm7yU1O_EzlTOTdGhQQpLe/s320/GaryHill.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br />
He was born in 1951 in beautiful southern California's own Santa Monica. Hill is considered to be on of the pioneers of the video art industry known for his many installations worldwide.Hill's work is especially significant because of his incorporation of text in video art, evident in works such as <i>Incidence of Catastrophe</i> 1977-1978. In addition, he began working with video, text and sound in 1973. He was influenced by the intellectual meanings of conceptual art which dominated art of the 1970s. Gary Hill's reading of the writings of Maurice Blanchelot, in particular, provided him with ideas relating to the way in which language impacts on phenomenological experience, and a notions stemming from the philosophy.<br />

I however am unsure of his background depth to his art. Morever, maybe it is just over my head or I am not having similar thoughts as he would looking at this. In the video above, I started to think of the concept 'start and finish' because he starts with something simple then progresses. I feel that people will appreciate his work not only because he does videos very well. Also, Gary Hill is considered the "father" of video art which means other artists already take inspiration from him in their work and other will continue.Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075771598771927661.post-49257248948497008912011-04-14T14:01:00.000-07:002011-04-14T14:01:16.517-07:00Eva & Franco Mattes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJ7d1Wq2pwdJw9lY9ddJ9Einq-x480QzTGLB0v-sm97mTkuhoHWSd_9ecLR66Axvrr5w6rzgNy3tIPn3XXGDwPrBzs5hX90FOrf_FNmcGIb9MldimR81XSzeLk4FxViLeLFYBUvtYGJBA/s1600/Eva-and-Franco-Mattes_g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJ7d1Wq2pwdJw9lY9ddJ9Einq-x480QzTGLB0v-sm97mTkuhoHWSd_9ecLR66Axvrr5w6rzgNy3tIPn3XXGDwPrBzs5hX90FOrf_FNmcGIb9MldimR81XSzeLk4FxViLeLFYBUvtYGJBA/s1600/Eva-and-Franco-Mattes_g.jpg" /></a></div> <br />
They were both born in Italy in 1976 and since meeting in Madrid (1994) they haven't slpit. Although neither have ever received an art education, they are considered some of the Net Art pioneers. In addition, they have orchestrated several unpredictable mass performances, staged outside art spaces and involved unwitting audiences in scenarios that mingle truth and falsehood to the point of being indistinguishable. Eva and Franco first revealed their love for Second Life through their project "13 Most Beautiful Avatars". Also, in an interview with Domenico Quaranta, they stated that the self-portraits of the 13 avatars were not meant to reveal "the way you 'are', but rather on the way you 'want to be'".<br />

Additionally, they followed by saying that their project "13 Most Beautiful Avatars" is not a completely original piece. In fact, they even said that anyone who claims that their work is an original, should really "start doubting" their mentality because practically everything in this world (not only art) is a reproduction of something that has came once before. I think think that their view of the society is accurate. Whether or not everyone wants to believe it, ideas are recycled. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because someone could take inspiration from one thing then add their personality. The concept seems harsh but there is a saying that goes, "There's nothing new under the sun." <br />

She is a Japanese artist who has impacted second life with her vast wind lit particles from which is influenced by the Sims (video game). It is a teleport mechanism which is unque in itself because of where it is placed. As you can see down below, the picture takes on a fantasy aspect because it has the wind particles in the ocean. Usually, when someone is teleported they don't end up in an exact location which is I view her artistic perspective as acurate!<br />

Morigi makes vaious images in one piece pop out as others may fade or glisten which draws your attention closer. A unique way of nature is what I can describe these to be but it's much more than nature; it's perspective.<br />

He is mostly known for his ability to create art ove the web. With that, he was the first to create "epiphanes" on Google art. I am unsure of how big his salary is but as you and I can both imagine it is fruitfull! Some so basic as Google poetry can take one from the days general normalcy and create fun experiences. Additionally, I think he ws effective for creating this because it correspondes to more than one audience. I actually went on the site "epiphanies" to find what I would get out of a few words. I typed in <em><strong>feelings mutual babe</strong> </em>and because of technical errors with the computer, I am unable to copy what it said but it was hilarious!<br />

He takes something like a simple logo and forces the sudience to view it in a different light. For example, the adidas logo is on every shoe that the company has made in distributed. With Brunos mind, he took that to another level of the question, "Where did that come from?" He shows a picture of a giant war tank similar looking to tha adidas logo which is insanely mind boggling. Since we the audience are unsure of whether marketers truely got this logo from that concept, it escapes us. On the contrary, its a good thought to thing about in the world of marketing and money.

Toni Dove is an artist/independent producer who works primarily with electronic media, including virtual reality, interactive video installations, performance and DVD ROMs that engage viewers in responsive and immersive narrative environments. Additionally, her work has been presented in the United States, Europe and Canada as well as in print and on radio and television.<span style="color: black;"> Her installation, <i>Mesmer - Secrets of the Human Frame</i>, was part of the 1990 Art in the Anchorage exhibition by Creative Time. </span><br />

Next, h<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">er recent project under development is<i> Spectropia</i>, a supernatural thriller about the many parts of desire. Moreover, it will be an interactive feature film performed for an audience in a theatrical setting or exhibited as a serial installation. The second part of the project will be a version for the living room - an immersive date movie for two players on DVD and internet. Thus to me Doves' work in the industry takes on a life of itself and generally has reality to it. Many artist do work where it is intially hard to underdstand but since she incorporates ral life scenarios, the audiience is better able to relate.</span><br />

He is considered one of the pioneers of interactive art. Beginning with the expanded cinema and performance works in the 60's, his multimedia projects in the 70's included Genesis stage shows and virtual reality precursors. In the 80's and 90's his work has focused on interactive computer based installations. For example, <u>The Legible City (1989)</u> and <u>The Virtual Museum (1991)</u>. Since 1991, he has been the founding director at the (Karlsruhe-based media museum Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie) or ZKM/ Institution of Visual Art located in <span style="font-family: inherit;">Karlsruhe, Germany. I feel that this is more of a modern abstract type of art in the computer and technological world. </span><br />

I am unsure / unaware of any virtual aspects but supposably they are there. In this work the viewer can see a three dimensional virtual environment that is visible by a persistant constellation of panoramic locations and events. Moreover, this has a unique take on the artist experience because it originates in the center of the screen, the physical arrangement of these texts in the virtual environment is determined by the path of the viewer movements while they are being processed. This has a depth to it that I'm sure would go over much of the audiences' head but a good outlook is everything!<br />

Schomaker is a Grad student from California State University of Northridge. She has build a SL on the basis of her now identity and her virtual identity but who's to say that it's not real? Moreover, one day in class I strongly remember talking about the definitions of realism and our modern perceptions. Having a virtual life which you live some sort of real fantasy through to me is considered real in one aspect. Consequently, it is not all the way real seein that we cant touch "Gracie Kendal". We can look at her characteristics and imagine how she would perhaps be but maybe a vast imagination is all we need for this type of art.<br />

This is personified in her SL and maybe the whole reason behind it amoung other things. After analyzation, I have come to the conclusion that Schomaker will definately influence others to infulge in a life that at first is not their own but will become it. Therefore, art has these expressional aspcets which is why there should n't be walls limiting an artist from there potentials. As said by Kendal, "<em>My art, in whichever medium, is based on spontaneity and change."</em><strong><br />

His works explore the ways in which performance, music, video images, and the sculptural form of objects can be used in many combinations to question our accepted notions of the nature of television. Additionally, in Korea, Paik studied piano and composition. When his family moved, first to Hong Kong and then to Japan, he continued his studies in music while completing a degree in aesthetics at the University of Tokyo. In 1959, he performed his piece <i>Hommage a John Cage</i>. This performance combined a pre-recorded collage of music and sounds with "on stage" sounds created by people, a live hen, a motorcycle, and various other objects. Instruments were often altered or even destroyed during the performance. Most performances were as much a visual as a musical experience. </div><div align="left"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Born in New York in 1951, Viola has used to video art since 1970 to show particular messages in them. He does not like to use overt effects in his videos because he believes there to be more of a meaning. Since the 1980s, Viola has popularly known for museum installations like galleries turned into media environments with video projections, sound and, physical objects. He has also been a musician and audio/video engineer. Viola uses video to explore the phenomena of sense perception as an avenue to self-knowledge. His works focus on the basis of human experiences; birth, death, the unfolding of consciousness. They all have roots in both Eastern and Western art as well as spiritual traditions, including Zen Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, and Christian mysticism. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I find this imensely courageous of him to make these videos with an enlightened theory on how to convey a message. I agree that it would be true if a video has too much special affects going on than the audience will definately be distracted getting lost in its original meaning from the author perspective. Viola takes the cake with the piece about because he incorporates a since of nature that also has depth behind it. He sets the stage for artist which want to take a different approach in video art or even film making. Thus, perspectives are more clear and drawn out even if blunt the audience follows.</span>Rii_ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711637929346063962noreply@blogger.com0
