Angela Zarek  Responsive Arts 3315 The first concept that intrigued me in the Jon Ipolito video was the idea of the Pool that was developed by Jon and a few other collaborators. The Pool is this idea of creation and collaboration rather than consumption. It is this place on the web to share ideas, see…

by Carlos Cuevas Watching Jon Ippolito’s lecture, “Hacking for Fun and Profit,” brought up many concepts and issues that artists today struggle with. One I found particularly interesting was the concept of ‘plagiarism and learning’ from the Internet. Is sharing good or bad? The most common way to learn anything is to copy. Monkey see,…

Student:Ashley Villagrana AD 100 Teacher: Sabrina Raaf Watching the John Ippolito video, Hacking for Fun and Profit had very interesting concepts. One of those concepts consisted of talking about today’s day of age and technology. In the years previous to this technology era, there was no computers and the only way you had to do…

  Olafur Eliasson is know for bringing natural elements into his work to help make his viewers experience more surreal.  His peice “Light Ventilator mobile” is a fan and a spotlight on either side being held up by an arm on a pivot. As the ventilator is blowing out air it moves the pivot around…

One idea that Ippolito brings up in his lecture that I find particularly interesting is when he talks about licensing with Creative Commons. As an avid “YouTuber”, I find this organization to benefit me, as well as others who post information and art on the Internet. In much of my work on YouTube, I use copyrighted work,…

Lawrence Malstaf is an installation artist that creates theatrical pieces from advanced technologies. His work centers around the relationship between order and chaos. I find his installation pieces surreal since they submerge the audience into strange situations or environments. His theatrical style came from his beginnings in working as a set designer for choreographers and directors. The work that first caught my attention is…

The work of Janet Cardiff I see Janet Cardiff’s work as a examination of ideas, theories, or preconceptions. Her installations play off like a performance but they are exploring an idea. They show you what you might associate a preconception such as “The Carnie” and presents it to you in a box for you to…

They’re best known for their multi-media installations that involve the use of audio to submerge the audience in narrative and acoustic environments that are meant to tell a story and transport the…

In Janets works she really makes her audience feel as if the situation that they are listening to is actually going on while they are there. She makes her audience feel a certain way while she is talking to them and telling them exactly what they should be thinking. I like how by hearing her…

The first new media artist I found was Jake Matthews. He is a motion graphic designer. I love the vibrant colors and even flow of his work. He has helped out with artwork in commercials for various companies such as Aldi, Miller Lite, GM, and other television shows and Internet sites. www.jakematthews.com Another new media…

In the reading of Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, an artist that I enjoy looking at his artwork is Roy Lichtenstein. His Pop Art reproduced like it was in comic books, and the use of using primary colors to make his artwork standout. In 1962 his painting “Blam” he  shows an airplane getting…
