Final Video!

This video encapsulates some of the most important people in my life, obviously, a lot of people who I hold dear to my heart aren't included unfortunately because I don't have good pictures with them. This was a grueling yet heartwarming process for me because it brought joy to my heart and reminded how incredibly important it is to have people, even a few who really love you. I enjoyed this class, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be creative and to be me! https://youtu.be/dRWliQRjJvg

The new sound of music

For the "house music" era, I think David Guetta should be on that list. I say this for one because he is a DJ and two not only is he a DJ that creates sick beats/sounds but he allows other mainstream artists to use his pieces. An example of a beat he allowed an artist to sing on was on the song "Titanium" ft. Sia from 2011. This song is definitely, for lack of a better word, "housy". For the girl power era, generally, I wouldve picked a generic choice, Beyonce buttt im daring to stand out. I'm going with Rachel Platen for sure and some Demi Lovato, they both are incredibly talented artists with a strong female following and even stronger message to back that up. They are both women who have been through a lot of things in their lives and still choose to be unapologetically themselves. Demi as a matter of fact is still going through it right now and is on the road to recovery. I have a favorite from Demi and quite a few from Rachel. Demi's "w

Performance art piece

My video is pretty self-explanatory. It is about the sexism that goes on in the workplace between men and women both at the same or a similar level and expertise. https://youtu.be/VnXxHeZcL4s

What if the world were a simulation?

This is an odd question. What if or is the world a simulation?? I don't think the world is a simulation at all. I think we control our own movements and behavior and this all isn't some kind of game. Now if the world were a simulation, that'd be very creepy in my opinion. The idea of someone/something controlling me and dictating my every move doesn't sit right with me. I understand all the robots and new technologies arising but it still isn't factual to believe that the world is simulated. In the future, we as humans may be overthrown by robots and new technology that WE have created. I think that we have gone so deep in this thing called technology that we have to keep going, there's no going back now.

Can you create art with technology?

Yes, art can be created with technology. I think technology is changing the way art is made as the years go by and has been doing so for quite a bit of time now. Over the past few decades, art and technology have definitely become more intertwined, hence this class, art, and tech. Technology has allowed artists to involve more human interaction in their work, mix different type of media and come up with more complex pieces. An example of this in modern technology or artwork would be videos. The use of technology, like phones and cameras, have allowed us to create art in the form of videos and short films and movies. The camera has evolved so much that now videos, even ones that are just casually made can be judged as artwork, some artists specifically focus on the filming and creating of videos as their expertise. Alotofthese types of artists would be online, like Instagram. So yes, art can certainly be created with technology.

Xerox project

This is my xerox project, this represents empowerment.y bracelets are a symbol of African culture, this poster and is about the collective nature of Africans. There’s a central picture that portrays a heart in the middle and it’s self explanatory. We are better together.

21st century technology

I think a technological advance in the 21 st century has to be the camera. We have always had cameras back in the day but as the decades and years go by many advances are made. We’ve gone from the pinhole   Camera in the 1500s to t he Daguerreotype   Camera in 1839 to the  Reise   Camera in 1900 to the Leica I in 1925to the Polaroid Model 95 in 1947 to the Kodak Digital   Camera in 1975 to the Fuji Quick Snap-in 1986   to the Sharp J-SH04 in 2000 to the Apple iPhone in 2007 to the GoPro HD Hero 2008.  We have evolved so much throughout the years and in the next few years, I see a major difference in the functions provided by a future camera. The pinhole was one of the first known cameras invented and people could only see the picture upside down, it took a lot of heads and years to create what we have today and I in this time and age wouldn’t be able to tell you what the future holds in the case of cameras.  I know for a fact the quality is obviously going to get way better an
