electronics alive

both of the presentations so far have been pretty interesting. i guess i didn't really know how far the term art could be stretch and how much technology is having a part in things. i will be honest, some of the work that was shown i didn't really like, but that's just personal bias. i did really like the work that cynthia did with using the two images and interchanging them in different ways to ask the question is it movement or still? those were really cool. i really liked her work with photographing a place over a period of time and layering the images. the light boxes of those works were definitely my favorite.
for bruce's presentation i was pretty interested in seeing how you could take fine art and also make it digital. people did work and then photographed it and tweaked it, which i do so i thought that was cool. again, some of the works like the LED light installations, i wasn't a fan of, but oh well. i thought it was good that he talked about the jobs that were available to a digital artist in this time. he really gave a lot of information about a lot of international digital art awareness. i didn't know how widespread things were at this time. in looking at the virtual reality pieces, i really want to learn how to do that and make my own little world. after doing fine work for so long it just baffles me that you can create such intricate things using only a mouse and keyboard.
