For Ree, Raiza, and Eric

We were talking about light and sound as liquid today. I found this clip and I thought it was relevant. The movement  of the creatures emulates an intentional shift in space within liquid. What if light became your vehicle for movement.

Next week & Today

Dear all,

Great progress today, very happy to see you immerse yourselves in your project, that's what its about. Let's keep posting on our blog & sharing ideas through the week, this is invaluable as we build our thought & praxis community.

For our next meeting pls make sure you have the parameters I wrote on the board studied:
—What is it?
—What does it do? (its intention / aka: your intention as embodied through your work / piece)
—How does it do it? (includes method, media, materials, responsiveness etc—INTER-ACTION of piece with viewer, how does the viewer "complete" the piece through perception, how does she / he intersect the meaning of the piece by inhabiting it, observing it)

Bring all component of piece to class in actual media, meaning: if you are working with sound, bring sound files, same with projections, video, documentation (photo / video) etc. Bring all components to class in actual media. PLAY INTELLIGENTLY & WITH INTENTION & be OPEN TO THAT WHICH SURPRISES YOU.

— look at the location of your piece: where it takes-place / what place it takes.
— think of names for your piece, next step is a draft of your artist statement (where you use language to describe the what and the how)

Any questions welcome.
Christina and I look forward to our next meeting.

cheers /

NB: participate in our discussions! no comment is good or bad or stupid, assert yourselves in your observation, what you see and how you see it, the beauty lies in sharing how we perceive, and it only helps our understanding of the subject matter at hand. The more points of reference (POV: points-of-view) the more we can approximate a view of the whole.
"perception requires participation"—read the Venice Biennale some years ago

light up my ears!!!

Something that might help everyone with sound/light etc...
