before i forget

Just a close up of the face blotting process. (oh so complicated duuurrrr)

an update from way back

I managed to snag the 'work-in-progress' photos of my wall/painty collage work, I've basically collected some old newspapers (I also snagged some from a fellow student, thanks Zara), smeared some white paint on keywords and the faces of people (kinda' a nod towards the whole name/scribbling work and face/censor videos I've worked on).

whoathere

Holy crap, I couldn't update shit for the past few days because for some retarded reason I've forgotten my password to this place; then I freaked out a bit.

Anyway, I managed to score all the necessary AV equipment for my final crit (before the final exam), which didn't turn out too bad.

Gotta' play around some more, especially with the newspaper wall collage work and deciding on which video will I be using exactly for the final examination.

Blergh. So much work.

the hands resist him:update

Remember those paintings that were broken down to simple palettes?

Welp, I'm doing that with the haunted painting.





And turning it into a video. I'll most probably display this right next to the digital copy of The Hands Resist Him.

the hands resist him:ref 07

The infamous 'haunted' painting that was sold on eBay for $1025.



If I display this painting through a CRT monitor, will its 'affect' my studio space? Will changing its format change the feel and meaning of the painting?

malcolm x/martin luther king:ref 06

After playing around with that burning monk video, I've been looking for more important historical videos (particularly those in b&w simply for aesthetic value). I came across two speeches, one by Malcolm X and the other by Martin Luther King (got screenshots of the latter).




Both racially charged speeches, so that's a connection there.

I'll play around and see what I come up with.

steamboat willie:ref 05

After watching Suicide Mouse, I've been inspired to work on a parody of some sort. By taking a copy of Steamboat Willie,





I'll distort and destroy it so that it's almost an echo of the infamous Suicide Mouse video. Breaking it down and apart and changing the original Steamboat Willie's context and meaning.

Or something like that.
