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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Dr. David Eagleman Interview

I thought it was very interesting how Dr. Eagleman talked about how every action we do is backed up by a lightning storm of brain activity. This is something I was aware of before, but it is always interesting to hear how someone else explains this. The aspect of everything in our brains being done by "teams of rivals" is not something I had heard before. He described this as being like a Parliament, two opposite sides that both think they know what is best trying to take control of the brain and dictate the function that is done. This notion makes complete sense and I am surprised I had not heard of it until now. Another interesting thing Dr. Eagleman brought up was how brain tumors can affect one's behavior and that our biology is really a large part of who we are. The different cases that were brought up of people changing how they act very suddenly and feeling as if something is different in their minds were incredible to hear about. The points he then made about cr...
