Video Art

Here is my video art submission. Enjoy.

Art In Motion (and Sound)

In a natural progression from performance art, we have recently been studying modern video and audio art. This subject is of great interest to me, as it is the ultimate culmination of art and modern technology, providing a truly immersive, and in some cases interactive, artistic experience for the viewer. Much of what we've covered in class has been on the experimental end of the artistic spectrum, which makes it that much more interesting. Aside from a few of the experimental audio peices, it has all been very enjoyable. In keeping with the other media we've covered in class, we were also assigned a project requiring us to create our own video art piece, or video installation. After presenting mine in class, I will post it here as soon as possible. If I were to describe my piece in a word, it would be "trippy." Or maybe "psychedelic."

Performance Art Piece

After having explored, in some depth, various performance artists and the medium as a whole, we were assigned the project of creating our own such work. While I'm not the biggest fan of performance art, I took this assignment in stride, and I think I came up with a performance piece that incorporates two of my favorite things, traditional art and music. Throw in a little bit of quirkiness for the sake of a memorable performance, and that's exactly what you have with my "work of art." Below are several pictures from the performance. The person being painted is my roommate Andrew, who graciously offered his services.
