UK underground music + Smiths

The UK underground music is by far my favorite. I enjoy the way their work. I like their vision and their perspective on live. Even back in days they were countless movements that started there. It's interesting to see now how impactful their underground music scene was. I like their free and reckless spirit.
One major band to breakthrough was the Smiths. In fact, not a lot of artists did breakthrough that scene for various reasons. The Smiths one of the few that broke and that went through the boundaries and stigma that came with that scene. Mainly due to their creativity and approach. I have much respect for them and their work.

Art Final

I'm in a long distance relationship and this is based on my own experience. The idea was inspired by Victor Hugo's poem "Je respire òu tu palpites". The lights in the background are synchronized to my girlfriend's voice. And I had an Ipad strapped on my friend's face. The poem is deep and fits my story. 

Graphene

I believe technology is endless and has not yet finished surprising me. This is by far one of the coolest thing that has happened to our technology. In fact, although we may have advanced devices, most of the time we face the hard reality of battery life. In today's world have a long battery life is crucial. Even though companies are finding to expand the battery life they are still limited. With this in hand, companies and devices developers could actually push their vision a step further and it represents a big step for mobile devices such as phones, computer, ipad, and what not.

Dada Manifiesto

I found Dada manifiesto to be rather interesting. I respect and admire their values. I believe the whole thing was born  out of need of independence. In my opinion it is the most interesting movement. They did not follow any rules. They were just being creative and expressing themselves. They were bold and crazy. To be honest the movement matched what I thought of art. In my opinion they perfectly represented the art spirit; fearless and hungry for freedom. This is the movement I respect the most and I really enjoyed the way article went in depth as far as explaining the movement.

Performance Critique

Bryan: Bryan was definitely powerful. I really like the idea and the fact he was in such a vulnerable position. I really believe it was a great performance. However, a hidden camera would've work perfectly.

Andrea:  I really like the enjoyed the performance. It ended up being good and interesting as she managed to get people's reaction. It was nice interesting to see her go through it.

Spencer: Definitely the best performance. The execution was on point. We got a chance to see everybody's reaction. It was interesting to see the interaction. It was deep and powerful.

Katelyn: Creative as usual she nailed it. I really enjoyed her approach and idea. I thought it was well executed as well.

Kirbi: I like her idea. I thought it was really bold. I really like the setup and how she stayed focus the whole time. It was powerful and I enjoyed it.

Ralph: Really great idea. If he had only pursued the idea of the shark eating him it would have been perfect. The photos made up though. I really like the how he manage the space and the environment.

Kyle: It was definitely my favorite art wise. I like how he dealt with the environment. I thought it was bold and vulnerable from his part. It was a statement and it was really powerful and deep.

Leah : I like the whole experiment. It was more experimental in my opinion and it was definitely well executed.

Sight

I found the the sight video to be rather intriguing. First of, I had no idea what to expect from the video from the beginning. I thought the concept of the video was interesting. The way the video depicted a new way of interacting with the environment. Following that perspective, he was interacting with its environment rediscovering its environment everyday. I thought it was fun. I believe that's were we are headed especially with the oculus rift or google glass. I believe it represents the future. However, as I was watching the video I started questioning myself if that's the type of interaction I wanted to have with my own environment every day. Although the opportunities are endless, and it represents the future; I believe this type of innovation could be detrimental to the way we experience life as a whole.  

Golan Levin's Website

This website was the most surprising website I had visited. First of, because of the context. When I thought of art I never pictured or imagined it in numbers and codes. A lot of his work was futuristic and digital, and the vision I had of art was more traditional. I was really surprised by the content, and all the great art work displayed in it. Furthermore the understanding that he had years ago was surprising. Some of his art pieces were not recent, but yet he already approached it digitally pushing it to the fullest.  I now understand that Art is infinite and it can also be expressed digitally and in numbers which I believe it's the future.
