Music Entry

DISCO: One group I would add to this category is KC and the Sunshine Band. They were a large part of disco. They did not use technology in their songs, and it does not appear they do in their performances, other than a little editing of their videos.  KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND BOOGIE SHOES PUNK: One group I would add to this list is Green Day. They have been making music since 1986 and utilize technology with the usage of recording electric instruments, but not much else with the music itself. They use technology during their concerts tossed live edited video onto the screens behind them.  GREEN DAY JESUS OF SUBRUBIA LIVE NINETIES: Oasis is the group I would add to this category with their very well known song "Wonderwall". The song was released in 1995 and did not use much technology for the song. They are seen as one of the biggest bands of the 90s and have influenced lots of British music and culture to follow. They utilized technology in videos like that for Wonde

Video Art Project

I made the subject of my video art a commentary on how the quest to achieve beauty can make people do strange things.

Performance Project

Video Link For my performance project, I decided to do a living statue. To make this relate to the space I was in, I made my statue of a baseball player and stood next to the sign on the University of Tampa campus that marks Babe Ruth's longest home run. This was done to get shock out of the people who would witness it, similarly to Chris Burden minus the violence and harm factor. Performance art can really be anything, so long as some act or action is displayed for people to see. It can be planned, scripted, and carefully orchestrated, or the opposite.

Photocopy Project

For this project, I had photos taken of various part of my body and arranged them on a 2 x 3 ft piece of poster board. This project was inspired by the surrealist movement. I wanted to go towards the creepy side of the scale with this project. It was easier to do that than anything not creepy, since isolated body parts have a certain level of creepiness to them.

Flipbook

I created my flip book in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The method I used involved drawing the image on tracing paper, shading graphite on the other side of the trace paper, and placing that side against the page, before going over the image in pencil. The smudged graphite on the back of the page then transfers the image from the front to the page of the book. This is by far the easiest way to get the images to look the same. To make sure I had drawn 200 frames, I went forward in the book for the first half, drawing on the odd numbered pages, and backwards for the second half, drawing on the even numbered pages.

Vacuum Tube

Vacuum tubes were first used in the 1910s in very small quantities because they were so expensive. Originally, they used directly heated cathodes, but once the switch was made to indirect heat, they became more widely used in radios. These tubes would aid in the invention of transmitters, receivers, and speakers. When it came to the invention of television, electron beams from these tubes would strike a phosphorescent surface within a cathode ray tube to create the picture we see. The concept of how the vacuum tube works seems quite complicated and I find myself unable to fully understand what I am reading on it. Without it, video and sound development for radios, television, and computers would not have been possible, but the finer details of how it works seem too complicated for someone like myself with no experience in electronics to understand.
