End of Book!

What is your opinion of combining technology and the human body as she did in the video?
    I think it's the beginning of the future. With the internet being invented just a short while ago, the learning curve has raised so high that technology is almost surpassing human abilities. I think technology that works with the human body can only be a good thing.
What is your opinion of combining a media arts and science project with your own body? I could see this being a fun experiment that takes me outside the normal thinking zone I'm in.
How will you change this book?
I hope this book will make me for open to change.
How will this book change you?
 I think this book will change me into a person that doesn't have to follow the rules of society and I can rewrite so to say what I think about myself in this book.

fear part 3

Out of all the fear projects presented last week I think the one I responded to the strongest was the "food project" the one where, I believe it was Jonathan put food into classmates mouth's as they were blind folded.
I think I responded to this his fear project the most because it was relatable. I didn't realize till after Jonathan presented his project that I too have a small fear of eating something and not being able to see it first. I think it's a fear a lot of people have no matter what culture their associated with.
First of all Jonathan's project was very extravagant seeing as how he brought a table, random food he bought and a cooler making me realize my own fear project should have had more of a punch. I fill as though I should add more special effects on the next project I'm involved in. I want to be able to look at fear from another perspective, and maybe Jonathan's project could be a start to doing that.


    Questions I responded too:

  1.    What was the fear project about and who did it? (Be sure to include the first name of the person - not their entire name for confidentiality reasons)
    2.    Why did you respond to it so strongly?
    3.    How does it impact how you see your own project, and your own creative journey?
This exercise is intended to be individual and to help you think about the idea of confronting fear from a different perspective. It is also intended to help you look at your own creativity differently.
  

Oh what sweet bliss on this lovely night!!

******Sometime between now and the last class (Aug. 6) take one 3-hour chunk of time and do whatever it is that makes you happiest. Before you start, think about the cover/surface/first impression of your "altared" book of the self. Then do the bliss assignment. Afterward, revisit your thoughts about the cover/surface/first impression of the book. Discuss this process on your blog and whether or not you had any different understanding or more creative thoughts about it after having just finished the bliss assignment. Post the URL to your blog entry here for your points.***********

   

At first I didn’t exactly know what I wanted on the cover of my book. It’s been something I’ve been pondering the whole semester. I have gone over in my head a few different ideas, one being to totally rebind the book and leather bound it with some sort of lock incorporated onto the front.

I then read over the assignment and decided what I really enjoy is watching television. So I decided I would spend the assignment watching television. I came across a great idea for the cover of my book and I think I want to incorporate one of my favorite tv characters onto the front of the book. No the book I have has nothing to do with television but it’s the principle of having something I enjoy on the front, since the whole book is about turning a negative into a positive anyway. I do really think relaxing and being able to clear my head, while enjoying some television really helped get the creative process going for myself. I’m looking forward to seeing how the cover of my book will turn out and the reactions of the class.

fear project # 2

First of all, wow this was a really interesting project. My favorite one so far, not sure everyone in the class could say that last week. Here are my reactions to your reactions (classmates) and ideas of how I can change some things in my video.


# 5 Observe the Reaction / # 6 Peoples Reaction:
    Initially I figured people would probably get a laugh over the video of my "teeth" falling out, so that was no surprise. Most people in the room at first laughed but then shortly after we began swapping stories of similar fears and I realized a lot of people in the class had a very similar fear or have had something similar happen to them. Overall I was pretty surprised that people had relating stories of similar events but I wasn't shocked at the initial reaction of the video.

#7 Propose changes to your idea based on what happened.
    After a week since I showed the teeth falling out video in class I have proposed a few changes that would make the video more realistic. First of all there wasn't enough blood! In fact there wasn't any blood in the sink when my teeth fell out which made the whole video extremely unrealistic. Besides the point that my teeth actually didn't fall out I believe some food coloring that resembled blood would do the job in putting some of the fright into this video in place of the laughs. I was also thinking that perhaps using corn in stead of paper teeth that are somehow painted or colored white would have a more realistic look. When my "teeth" fell in the sink I didm't hear a clinking sound that you would hear if teeth fell on that kind of surface. So even though the teeth were white, with out that sound it made it very unrealistic. Overall I do think there are some changes that would make the video more realistic in a sense but I do believe the initial video I showed got my point across and I had fun making it.
   

Last class the 28th was awesome~

I'm posting this blog a little late, but I really enjoyed last class session. It was awesome watching everyone present their fear assignment and to really talk to them about why they have this fear and what caused them to fear this. I also really enjoyed showing my teeth video for everyone. I got a lot of good laughs even though it was suppose to be a scary video, but I'm happy with my video. Sad to see I won't be able to see everyone for a couple of weeks but I shall be excited to see you all on the last classes.!

fear project part one

I expect that people will not realize whats about to happen, they will laugh and then hopefully they will understand my fear more.

senses

I wanted to make something that deals with time and that also deals with the sense of smell. I got a few ideas but I never really got any thing built in my hand I'm in the process of making it And I'm prepared to show those drawings today. basically a clock that shoots out smells
