Having now finished this book, I feel super accomplished.
Anywhome, I love how this section opens up about talking about responsive environments. I love the advice this section has to offer such as:
"Participants should be aware of how the environment is responding to them"
"In order to focus on the relationships between the environment and the participants, rather than among participants, only a small number of people should be involved at a time"
It just explains the complications with new interactive environments and responsive environments, how one can control it and how one can alter it also.
On page 259 Laurel mentions the six elements and the casual relations among them.
Action: Representations are normally thought of as having objects
Character: object bundles of traits, predispositions,
Thought: emotion cognition reason intention
Language: expression voice
Pattern: melody music
Enchantment : spectacle performance basic understanding
Though, they present these in a drama or theatrical sense, they can really be used for just about anything. Just gotta alter them a little bit to fit the subject.
As well all know, this new technology offers new challenges and new experiences especially for us college students. We are learning this technology now, but what technology will be readily available right after we graduate college. WHO KNOWS! It's ever changing for all the reasons stated the last eleven weeks on my life

This reading made me think of more than just what the book was trying to tell us. SO it talks about Radio and Satellite and Art blah blah blah we get that.
BUT my thought, is the radio still actually free???!!! Is it really the only source of FREENESS for entertainment anymore? Is it free? Do you pay money to listen to the radio?
No, maybe not pay money to listen to the radio. but is it free?
No, it is not free!! I came to the conclusion the radio is not free! You have to buy a car to listen to your radio, and a battery and an alternator to listen to your radio.
Oh, you don't have a car? You need to go and BUY a stereo, to also be plugged into your TV and your stereo and your surround sound system.
Oh wait, you want something more versatile and can go with you?
Go buy a $200+ Cell phone! You can download any FREE app to listen to the FREE radio after you buy your $200+ device.
BUT then you are still buying the data to listen to the radio, you still gotta buy the car, or the antenna or the phone, or the electricity!!
So, question is, is the radio actually free?

ARE THEY FREE????

"MY EXPERIMENTAL TV IS NOT ALWAYS INTERESTING
BUT
NOT ALWAYS UNINTERESTING
LIKE NATURE, WHICH IS
BEAUTIFUL
NOT BECAUSE IT CHANGES,
BEAUTIFULLY
BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT
CHANGES"
This spoke to me greater than anything else in this section. For one, is because it's a generalization that any one could possibly make. But for too, is because it speaks the truth. I am an old soul and a tv would bore me to death anyway! Let's go outside, it changes MORE and stays interesting no matter where you go. It changes scenery, view, temperature, places. Unlike a TV cannot do that. An experimental nature? HAHAH!! Nature is only under experimentation because of the human kind... we are experimenting with the earth and it cannot replace itself. It changes for itself, and it changes for us we don't change it, it changes us.

Movies & Film
The evolution of film and video has evolved so greatly that people in this day in age can do it off of our ever so cheaply made cell phone. In the 50's and 60's someone was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment to do something "different". Then, it was a very expensive hobby only to see how it became easily done.
The transformation from the 50's films of the skunk in black and white and out tuned audio to our ever so perfect video's that create an augmented reality.
I love the old fashioned movies, only to see and know how simple it really looks to know how simple it was not. I find it very cray how fast technology has grown over 50 years, the fastest growing thing ever.
It went from "We can finally do this!!! to " This can be done this way" to " What else can we add?" to "How can we enhance this to get more viewers" to " All the families in the US have VHS! Yeah!" to "Oh, you got your VHS? Now go get a DVD" to " Nope, your DVD does not play in this blu-ray player" to just simply trying to create the way it can be done.

First, I find it weird that my book changed the texture of the pages starting at this section. But I also realized that the rest of the book contains no pictures. haha. So odd.
Anywhom!
in the 1920's Naum Gabo & Anton Pevsner | The Realistic Manifesto |
First, Peter can you please elaborate what the "Great Style" was in the 20's, like I have a pretty good idea but I haven't heard about it in a long time!
I am going to answer the question "Does it supposed that the new life can accept a new creation which is constructed on the foundations of the old?"
Yes, definitely new life can accept a new creation that is constructed from the new! That's what makes it new, people do it all the time. WE do it all the time, it's what we know its how we construct new art is to modify into the "new" cultural "norms" it is a crazy concept to grasp, but that's what every company does from car models to shampoo.
1928 Laszlo Moholy-nagy | The New Vision |
What I understood is that the new vision became the realization of kinetic sculpture. MY FAVORITE!!!!
In Sculpture: Mass to Motion
Painting: Coloured Pigment to light
Music: Instrumental tones to electronic purity
Poetry: Syntax to grammar
Architecture: Restricted closed spaces to free fluctuations of forces
1946 Asociacion Arte Concreto-invecion || Inventionist Manifesto |||
Here, is when the man becomes less sensitive to illusory images. He is becoming progressively more integrated in the world!! (Hence the War)
The human spirit was dampened by the negativity of the war, so people moved to a more of a representational art versus abstract to stray away from his own power, to create an illusion of action.
Big time for art then.
Early art interests me majorly, it is simply amazing to see how art coincides with the times of the present and the culture around it. So, now today we have more digital art than hard copies of art, and that too can be a problem, how are we going to put today's art in history books? How can anyone get famous off of art when most of it is already been done, How do you get famous anymore without having 456415674+65156498 millions of dollars.
Yeah
Anywhom!

Yes Peter I did not read every single little picture caption. BUT I did look and observe every picture.
BUT! The one art piece that really caught my eye would be on page 186. "The Kitchen". At first, I looked at this and thought wow what a creepy eerie room. Then I looked at the title and that is what engaged me to read on further. The kitchen, does not look like a kitchen. It unfortunately looks like a cellar.
Though, I find is quite amazing that Steina and Woody Vasulka were the one of the first American to incorporate a non-profit institution to emergent the field of video, performance art, and a lieu of other fields.
While the book mentions that the kitchen is a dynamic art institution of past and present work. Today, this can show as blank. Also though, it shows the potential to change with the blankness of it.

First off, I had no idea what the world SIMULACRA meant. So I looked it up in the dictionary.
Simulacra:: image, representation <a reasonable simulacrum of reality — Martin Mayer>
Simulacra:: image, representation <a reasonable simulacrum of reality — Martin Mayer>
2
: an insubstantial form or semblance of something
Wonderful! I believe that this can be greatly explained by Char Davies interactive installation "Osmose". His installation allows the viewer to change the scene by the way that they breath. Deep breathes or or regular breaths. His piece is many many world spaces captured to create a forest scene. Each environment previewed by the interactee can be descended differently. This is definitely a mind altering piece and allows the viewer to get deeply involved. He even mentions that the viewer is slowly and gently brought back to reality.
But, after knowing what this word means. We as a class and students do this all the time to get ourselves through homework, or even in our art pieces. Because as every artists goal, is to create something that nobody has ever done before, but unfortunately our ideas just naturally evolve from someone else's idea.

"The Lines We Run"
Anywhom! The red is where we started, which is Grand Coulee, and our travels progresses as the colors progress through the rainbow. So Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. And Everything else in between.
So since I based this off of Chad's and I's adventures, I thought it was very cute that Peter mentioned that it looked like a life line, or a heart beat. Super cute.

This section actually almost confused me more than anything.
I therefore, just read it carefully hoping I would grasp this.
First, I wanna start how badly I got scared looking at the picture on page 161.. Bahahah!
But, the part that did interest me during this section is the work b Seiko Mikami on page 157. I actually would of liked to participate in this "experiment" I guess you could call it.
This is very interesting, because I enjoy sitting in an actual peaceful environment, or room. To the point after a view minutes where you can hear yourself breath, hear your heart beat, I can sometimes feel like I can even feel myself think. But, the real time is what gets the body to be tricked, because we can hear the sounds that our bodies make ALL THE TIME.
"the ear is not merely a thing that hears: the eye is not merely a thing that sees"

This just happened today.
I found a four-leaf clover!! THEN Magically, I found another in a patch 5 feet from this one.
Good luck for me!! Watch out.

This has by far had to be my favorite section yet.
Culture Jamming, I love looking at pictures from the 1920's - 1980's, These ones are especially interesting because the are the control behind my degree. I mean that in a sense to what Peter had discussed with us in class that we are why we are today because of who they were then.
Make sense? Maybe
In 1986, human interaction was a big deal, bigger than it is today....
On page 126, it shows White's "Telephonic Arm Wrestling"And this directly brought my attention because it's like arm wrestling with someone halfway around the world. Which, we can do today in a sense, but over the internet.
The perception of this piece those, with relativistic constraints is even more genius.
Hehe The Yes Man.... :) (Pg 133)
Now, when the US Department of Art & Technology announced about "Promoting media art, cultural growth, the artist voice in reshaping public policy and improved aesthetic standards for all Americans..." in 2001, they really did not know what was about to hit society media and art wise.
