Final Project Discussion
1)That I was/am not the only one who has issue getting an idea going and I am not the only one who has issues with Chris Evans playing Captain America and The Human Torch. Everyone is also shooting from the hip for this final piece as well. I think we are all a lil brain dead.
2) My final project is just the use of the word Strike and all its variations. I am going to have some fun with this one. Everything else I have do was relatively serious so I just want to enjoy this one. I think "strike" is also one of those words that is considered violent, and it is but it can be used for some good old slap stick humor. *shrugs*
3) I have no idea at this moment! I may have to change my project idea for this and the former to actually occur. Because I am illustrating to a certain extent, however, I do believe that if I put strike into context rather than just have it in its current state it may work.
4) A NEW IDEA! bah! Wait I can tell a story! I am going to animate the single words accordingly with images then produce a story from those base words. So I get my entertainment, the work was not written prior to the animation, and it can and may become some what serious (still doubtful on this one)

What did I learn?
I learned ALOT about layers, blocking the stage and that you can even take a crappy work of art and make it good! I wrote the Haiku in like 5 minutes with zero actual though put into it or meaning behind it, so the text itself is meaningless to me but the work put into the animation does have a lot of expressive power.
2-3days more.
I would defiantly get the text issue sorted out. The text that this computer converted my binary code to ruined those frames for me. I would add some more time into that section as well. There are small places where I made errors but unless you watch it 2-10 times you may or may not notice. The top of the human head is one of them. i cut part of it off without realizing it before I cut it up and did all the work.
start again.
Actually plan it out rather than just taking the idea from my head and putting it strait into the stage.

BIGGS
Part Uno
Art is a strange concept to discuss in any format. The destabilization concept works when you are dealing with things such as Dada, Cubism and other forms of modern art. In the Renaissance and Baroque era art was meant to represent images of life to the point of perfection, not to destabilize the items being produced. To destabilize a sign and signifier you have to take in account for the interpreter/interpret-on of the sign, and the culture in which the work is being presented. What could be considered destabilized in America may not be in Russia. Images themselves are somewhat destabilizing though if we do not have the correct text to go along with them.
In this work the picture of the slit drum looked like a septic tank to me. I had no idea what it was until I read about it. Therefore, my idea of what the image was originally was destabilized. Had there not been text to go with it I would still be viewing it as a septic tank.
Duo
How new is new and how new does it have to be to be different. Does this newness affect me due to how different or similar I am to the work? If the difference between the person and the work of art are not far enough apart then the difference is not apparent,and then is the difference becomes wasted.

“Innovative practice has pioneered not only new media but also new ways of perceiving through a given medium, a practice that has localized art not as a way of representing but as a way of making.” (173)
I am still a little groggy so please bear with me.
Hypertext like all mediums is new to the system. If one were to view animated literature through a historical lens then one would not have an abundant amount of data to use. Since this new medium is still a newborn child in the grand scheme of things. Yes, technology has evolved very rapidly and we are beyond the 8mp/8mb animation that made up Nintendo and the first apple computers. However, this art form only has heavy roots within the past 20 years or so. Unlike other art forms such as painting, sculpting and more traditional forms this medium can be sent from one place to another instantly. This removes the concept of localization. A painting can only physical be at one place at one time, unless it is a reproduction. This form of art can be anywhere and everywhere at once. Which is part of why it is unique, even compared to such easy to access thing such a film/movies. Yes, films are accessible via Internet but you may not be able to access the full work of art you want at any given moment. With this in mind I think it takes a toll on the artist due to the fact that once they publish a work it is out there for everyone. Therefore the artist has to be very critical of his or her own artwork through this medium. The art that is produced through this new medium is also one into its self. The text cannot be physical held in many cases. Unlike the written word that can be printed or the film that is recorded, computer based are has no real physical state of being. Which raises a question of validity as an art form since it cannot be touched. I find this to be rather perplexing since the work of art does exist. I guess for me it is art because it is labor intensive and can produce a reaction that unlike the soft arts (Arts the rely upon taste, smell and touch) rely strictly upon auditory and visual cues similar to a film.
