I think the project that was most difficult for me was certainly the mashu-up project. Eventhough I really enjoyed everything about this course, I would say in all honesty my mash-up skills for videos were pretty poor. It was just a difficult piece for me. I learned from this because I have improved in certain areas where I can edit videos in the near future.

The generative project was soenthing that started off difficult for me however once I relaized it was very useful. I thought this project was very interesting. I was able to do a video of my favorite soccer players career evolution from the begginning of his career and to the end of it. I liked how you can pick your own unique idea for this project. With plenty of feedback I was able to create a good generative project that will help me in the future.

For my Generative project I decided to go with the idea with a soccer player’s 17 year career evolution from 1998-2015. It shows the images of how he progressed and changed as a soccer player throughout his career.

For this project I decided to create a video about a futuristic remote that can control your every movement. It can bring you into the future, the past, control what you do, pause etc all in one click.

Subject vs content

The subject for this piece is a remote that can control your every movement all in just one click. You have a special remote that can basically control your life all in one simple click. It can change your appearance and bring you to the future and in the past. Welcome to the future.

The content is that it is expressing an event that can only take place in an impossible world. We see here a remote that can control movement. There are people that regret the things they do in the past and with this remote they can go back in the past and fix it. Also if someone is talking too much they can pause the remote etc. It is a unique aspect.

Your Artist is Mark Napier

On your word press blog, and here below please paste 5 artworks in jpeg or video URL format. Please put the title, date and medium below each image

Please share a statement from an art historian, critic or journalist about your artist: “Mark Napier has been creating artwork exclusively for the Web since 1995. He combines his training as a painter with his expertise as a software developer to create “art interfaces,” software that addresses issues of authority, ownership, and territory in the virtual world. Napier has received a NYFA Fellowship (2001) and a grant from the Greenwall Foundation (2001). His work has been reviewed by The New York Times, ArtByte, Wired News and many international publications. Although net.flag is the first work to be acquired by a museum, Napier has also been commissioned to create Internet artwork for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. His work has been shown in the Whitney Biennial (2002), SFMOMA’s 010101, the Whitney’s Data Dynamics, the Center for Art and Media Technology ’s net_condition, the Walker Art Center’s Art and Entertainment Network, and at new-media festivals in Germany, Italy, Denmark, and South America. Napier’s work is also exhibited on his own Web site, http://www.potatoland.org.”-Collection Online

Please choose only ONE of the 5 pieces above and write a Subject Vs Content statement about the work here: What I have chosen is Mark Napier’s “Pam.” In this subject, it is an edited piece of Pamela Anderson. This was during her leaked sex video. She was viewed as one of the sexiest women at the time. This piece is edited by using a reverse cubist portrait. A beautiful women who is reformed by many fragmented images found on the web.

This work by Napier could be demonstarting many things here. Pamela Anderson was the most googled women on the web at the time because of her beauty and sex video. Ideal for feminine beauty. I think Napier is trying to show how beautiful she is. Using several images online and putting it into one.

You can see the plants ability how it is not limited here. This piece is very impressive. However, I dont know if this piece solves any problems. Furtheremore, it could just create some more problems out here.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
