Speculative Video Assignment

PROCESS NOTES

ARTIST STATEMENT

My speculative video piece, Do Better, explores my speculation of the unfortunate reality of how the richest in the world and those in power don’t use their money for good and instead use it for destruction and their own greedy purposes. This is done through an abundance of layered found footage, a 3D scan of raining money, and the song Money by Pink Floyd which critiques corporate greed. In the background I layered found footage of the reality of corporate greed, military support, refugee camps, homeless people, deforestation, vast cityscapes, pollution, and unnecessary technological advancements. This reality demonstrates how wealth, power, and resources are greatly misused to get the rich and powerful more rich and powerful by funding suffering, displacement, and expansion. The faded foreground layer is my reimagined reality that I wish was more prevalent and that I wish was the priority among those who could make the greatest difference. This compilation consists of found footage that shows people supporting clean water efforts, feeding those experiencing poverty and homelessness, helping environmental conservation, equality in education, and enjoying life.

Sound Object Assignment

PROCESS PHOTOS:

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My sound object piece, Nostalgia Lamp, is a light sculpture that shines warm light through a cyanotype collaged lamp shade of personal family photos and emits a sound montage of home videos from my family’s past moments. Through the wooden base, warm lightbulb and history of photos, the lamp sculpture creates an inviting and homey atmosphere. The choice of a lamp is reminiscent of a peaceful living room and bedroom atmosphere where families often spend the most time together. The use of cyanotype photography compliments the family aspect due to the care and delicateness needed in its precise process. The layered audio of family memories and ambient music gives life to the photos and creates the sound of nostalgia that often leaves me longing for the childhood experience I had with my family. This feeling is one that I imagine I share with others and that can translate to others in many ways.

Live Art Ritual Assignment

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My Live Art Ritual piece, Caffeine & Acts of Service, depicts the morning ritual of making homemade personalized caffeinated beverages and the act of creating something that will be enjoyed by people you care about. Each morning my roommates and I make ourselves our go-to caffeinated beverage to start our day. This ritual consists of coffee or tea being made in our own unique ways and allows us to start our day more energetically. So, for my piece I took it upon myself to perform my roommate’s rituals of how they make their coffee or tea and then giving it to them to enjoy. They each wrote recipe scores for how they make their drink of choice and as I followed their rituals, they were also my audience which created a spontaneous and unplanned aspect to my piece since I was unaware of what they were going to say or do as I recorded. This led to their personalities being showcased through us having random conversations, musical outbursts, and them acknowledging the presence of the camera. Through this captured ritual, the usual ritual they perform for themselves is changed due to me making it for them. They get to rest while I make their individual drinks and feel cared for by my act of service for them.

Symposium Presentation Proposal

Topic:

  • the impact of music on humans
  • science of sound/music in psychology and physiology
  • music’s power over the brain
  • discovering why it has the power to make us feel and move in a variety of ways
  • short history of music development/when it began

Potential Forms:

  • power point or google slides or Prezi presentation
  • begin with short history
  • discuss my research on the psychology of music/sound
  • answer questions I have through my research (what part’s of brain does music engage? what notes, frequencies and sounds trigger certain emotions? why can music generally affect our emotions? why does different music elicit different reactions? etc.)
  • discuss certain songs and audio pieces that would cause certain mental and physical reactions
  • play the songs and audio pieces as I am discussing them

Potential Research Methods:
