3 Attack Tests

Artifacts

"For, once artists have encountered the spectrum of potential transformations which at first might come unsuspected and by surprise, they can catalogue thema and make them part of their visual vocabulary. Woody Vasulka calls such results of their visual investigations 'artifacts'. These visual signs are artifacts in that they could not have been premeditated by the artists and then simply realized; rather, these artifacts emerged from the artist's dialogue with the machine."

Lucas-September 27th Assignment

I think the most interesting aspect of this article is how we as humans are finding ways to explore and expand art at nearly the same rate we are able to explore and expand technology in general and electronic technology in particular. To think of how unending the possibilities are truly becoming is amazing. Your imagination is literally the only roadblock in the creative process, if you envision it, you can do it. It also makes me wonder what a classic artist, maybe Michaelangelo, would feel about today's art and artists. Are we abandoning our personal artistry to the "machines"? Are we creating to wide a range of opportunities in today's technological environment? I don't think so, necassarily, although it does seem we are moving further and further away from actual human creation in favor of electronic creative processes. Ultimately,I think it opens up artistry to more imaginations and more minds, which can't be a bad thing so long as we don't lose our identities in the process...

SIGNAL PROCESSING: New Ways of Seeing

Your assignment is to produce three Signal-processing explorations. These explorations are due on Sept. 29^th (20 points). You are to explore layering jit.(effects) upon the moving image and taking notes of their visual vocabularies and relationships created between your footage. Post your three explorations on the blog in one video via Vimeo before class on the 29^th, you are to pick your favorite from the three and extend it into a larger video piece/exploration (2-3min video).

This is the start of Assignment 2 (100 Points): Extend one of your favorite image processing techniques you discovered into a finished video piece DUE Oct. 11^th. To go along with these explorations and the finished piece or pieces is an artist statement, sketches, and notes. These are required to accompany the final piece(s). Apart of your grade is to organize your patch and notate it so I or anyone else could easily understand it (Presentation Mode is also required). The finished piece however is a video that is independent of the patch, unless it is essential to the work that it is interactive.   

Observe how the filter changes the image. Does it allow you to see the image in a new way? How does the process or filter conceptually balance with the images you process? It is extremely important to find that balance. Work submitted without any of the above criteria will be docked one letter grade on the assignment. You will have in class time to work on this Sept. 29^th & Oct. 6^th. In this time you need to be showing me your work in progress. Those who fail to show me work in progress and discuss with me their ideas be docked one letter grade. All material must be posted to the blog before class on the 11^th & a full-res AVI. file must be turned in that day. We will critique on the 11^th and part of the 13^th if needed.        

Sketchbook CHECK >>> This coming week.

I will be collecting your sketchbooks/notes that you have been taking for these past four weeks, on Th. the 29th, for a preliminary check before I grade them for Mid-Terms. See syllabus for more details of sketchbook. If you have any questions email me or post comments on this blogpost.

Watch Out Narrative

Assignment 1: Database Narrative

You are to create a database of 10-15 videos that have a relationship to one another and no matter what order they are played in, it feel like it works. The system for controlling this database needs to use the random object within MAX to control the sequence of your clips. See how many ways you can control randomness. Please feel free to explore the jit.Special effects and other objects I haven't covered quite yet. You will have class time to work on this on Tuesday the 13th... Come to class with questions and Ideas and i'll help you explore them. This project is DUE on Sept. 15th. On the 15th we will view the projects and critique.

Please read this article: http://vv.arts.ucla.edu/AI_Society/manovich.html
