Eminem - Mosh
video link
Mosh, the video was created by Dr. Dre, Mark, and written by Eminem and a few others. Mosh was made in 2004 prior to the reelection of George Bush. Eminem who is a vectorized angry character in this video tried to covey a message that would spark a fire in young people to vote; to vote bush out of office that is. Not only did i choose this video for its connotative meaning, but also for its quality in general.
When i first saw this video i was so amazed because it was a cartoon, which portrayed a rapper that i very much fancied at the time. This post is in reference to our project 3 assignment because it depicts a make-shift vectorized world. What stood out for me the most was the motion of the picture and the well done vectorized streets, houses, characters, and the night and day changes. I admire the balance between the cartoon quality while also keeping it sort of realistic.
This video spparked an interest in me because not only was this my first time seeing a video done like this by a rapper before, but because Eminem spoke the truth of how he felt about george bus, and how others felt as well. The images and the attitude of the video conveyed his message clearly, but was not well heard because George Bush was again elected as president of the U.S....which sucks. I would not change anything about this video because it is well put together; it shows the struggles of many people, and portrays George Bush as a stand-byer letting it all happen.

Artist Post Jennifer Bartlett
An ordinary Evening in New Haven, 1989
Review on works of Jennifer Bartlett including her 1989 piece above
This particular work of Bartlett's caught my eye because not only were the color pattern extroardinary, but the movement of the image was nice to look at. It is very chaotic, which is the type of work i love to create. This picture gives me the idea that she is depicting a market going up in flames, and everything in it being destroyed. What i first noticed was the orange-red swirrling intense fire that surrounds mostly the entire image. I thought it was a fish market because of the flying fish, and the chain lining behind them (maybe used to hoist the big fish up vertically. The table and cones could have been from a neighboring store, which also caught on fire. I also can make out pots, flowers, and birds from this image.
This image was googled and i found a powerpoint presentation on all of her works. An Ordinary Day in New Haven was titled this so because Bartlett used to live in New Haven, CT. Maybe she remembered this tragic event from her past. This may have been important for her because maybe some of her life history was made at this particular image being represented.
Looking at the review article, the denotative of this image was described. This image depicts how nature (a horrific fire) overturns the orders of nature (animals, man-made buildings) etc. The fish are not being ingulfed in flames, but are being drawn toward the havens. The birds are not flying away from the fire, but are diving down towards the heat. I have no clue what this image is portraying anymore; nothing seems as it should seem i would say.

Your sFace or Mine By Reginald Brooks
Reginald Brooks chose to express the human face in a palette because said a face is the most inriguing image. We are hardwired to to look and analyze anothers face features, it is a part of our nature. This is very true because we analyze to see what race a persomn is, how attractive that person may be, and we analyze the features when an individual expresses emotiions. Brooks is amazed by the many facial types and the facial features that are out here in the world. The picture depicts perfect geometry, and Brooks said perfect geometry represents perfect architecture.
I fancy this image because it is colorful and sort of interesting. The artist is intrigued with the face as a whole, while i on the other hand am intrigued with the colorful panels. Looking at this image, i did not see its geometric symetry. Sure the face is palced on a grid, but the face is not at all symetrical.
When i analze this image i see many different features intertwined; it is almost as if the artist is comparing them, perhaps culturally. I also like this image because it reminds me of my style. Sculpting the human figure in many positions is normally what i find myself creating.

Art Event #2 Karen Aqua
Karen Aqua Animations
Ground Zero/Sacred Ground Youtube Video
Unfortunately, Karen Aqua, at the night of her animation show, she was hospitalized and could not make the talk. For her step-in, she gave her husband permission to speak about her work. As he introduced her many animations, he lightened the mood with a few jokes pertaining to his marriage. Kinfield Aqua did a nice job with the introducing his wife work.
Karen Aqua is a world winning film maker, who has made some of the most famous films that have been shown worldwide. A series of Animations were shown; my favorite animation was Heavenly Bodies. This animation was about love, at least that’s what I got from the film. It started out with two stars, which turned into two people; the gender was not specific which was more intriguing. There was a lot o asymmetry and shape changing. Each figure shown was abstract, or should I say not well defined. The music was sensual and relaxed. At the end of the film, the two partners came back in place as two separate stars.
The other films shown were Yours for the Taking, Nine Lives, Penatalia, Perpetual Moments, Kakania, Andaluz, and Sensorium. This talk was almost two hours long, and I actually left early towards the very end.
The Animation Gropund Zero was also shown. It was more of an educational anime, but was so powerful, and its message was very clear. The graphics were so well put together. If you watch it, i think you'll like it too.
Art Event #1 Ryan Browning
Ryan Browning is a young art professor, who I found to be a very shy public speaker. While talking to the audience about what inspired his art, he truthfully admitted he was nervous. Ryan in his teenage years grew-up playing Dungeon Dragons and vaguely expressed how he was not the most popular kid. He received a degree at Mica in Baltimore, which is the school I was actually going to attend. He then went to graduate school in 2006.
Ryan Browning went through so many faces of deciding what type of art he was interested in, or should I say he dabbled in most of the art fields. He came to the conclusion that he would rather do paintings then digital art. When he first began creating art, digital art is what he created. He chose to switch to another field because digital media was getting old, he was growing as an artist and it was just that time for him to give it up.
What inspired his art was the video game Dungeon and Dragons. He used the world from that game and its spaces, incorporating it into his work. What I saw to be familiar in all of his works was this large, bulldozer rock, which was jagged all around. He manipulated this shape to fit with the landscape of each of his paintings. He really loves to create dream like worlds, which are inspired by his fancy for imagination instead of real life situations.
I personally loved all of his art because it was sort of bold at times (the color scheme), and who does not like dream worlds? Ryan Browning is sort of an illustrator artist, kind of like me. The only difference is that he leans more towards illustrating fantasy’s while I illustrate real life experiences.

and
Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans create jodi.org. They intentionallly made a CD Rom that when installed in the computer, the database would become disoriented, making it have a matrix affect.
In the third Paragraph of the Mark Tribe reading, it became clear to me as to why the defininition of digital art has changed multiple times. New Digital Media art, what digital art is called today was split into two categories: Art and Technology and Media Art. Art and Technology refers to the new way of creating art on the computer, but is not media art. Media art meaning art forms that were created by using media technology (technical equipment, refering to cultural aspects, the issues of the public) and not just the computer.
jodi.org would be considered to be Art and Technology that has no references to the media aspect.

Charles Csuri, The father of digital art
A Link to Charles Csuri’s Digital Graphic Art
http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=charles+csuri&rlz=1R2ADFA_enUS384&wrapid=tlif129597761340010&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=jQw_TbWWJcWBlAea7P2UAw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=5&ved=0CEYQsAQwBA&biw=975&bih=522://www.csuri.com/index.php/category/digital-art/
A link to Charles Csuri’s Geography
Charles Csuri was born July 4, 1922. He is a specialist in the field of Computer graphics (animation, and digital art). And note this, was once a college football player. In 1964 Csuri made the first computer art in 1964, being recognized as the father of digital art. Now that is big; when your recognized as the father of your craft that mean you’re more than good and experienced at what you do.
Charles Csuri was so passionate about what he did that he set up a computer graphics research group. He then became co-founder of the first computer animation production companies. He even received an award for the best individual artist in 2000.
I personally chose to research Charles Csuri because his style of digital art caught my eye. His work is daring, colorful, and not too abstract. The image of the two horse remind me of a dream. The man in back of the horse looks as if he is trying to tame the horse. My interpretation of it is wild horses in a meadow. His art is just beautiful and most linear, where the viewer is still able to recognize the shapes.
In my art i like to tell a story about my life experiences or others. I also am a perfectionest, and like Charles Csuri, my art is based on portraying the human figure in many ways.
