Is 3D Obsolete?

Many people enjoy 3D, while others avoid it since it gives them headaches (or because it's pricier..?). It is speculated that it is more about the content than the option of 3D. Only 373 out of 1011 people said they prefer seeing 3D over 2D. Like Ken Hong, of LG Electronics, said they can t convert people overnight, comparing it to how long it took to get HDTVs popular.
In a side note, I am highly anticipating Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary, which will be in 3D, showing on November 23 this year. Steven Moffat, the current show writer, said it "is about time" it is in 3D.
As for the myth that 3D harms your eyes, it is untrue; the reason you might get headaches is if you have slightly poorer vision in one eye, and your brain isn't used to the two images together. Bernie Chang says, "There's no truth that it's going to harm your eyes."

Banksy

I had heard a little about Banksy before this semester, but I just now went to his website. I love that he freely puts his art wherever he sees fit, and they come from a large amount of places. I saw pictures of his graffiti in Detroit, London, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City. I find it so funny when he adds to things that are already there, like adding a mouse to a "No Stopping" sign, making it look as if the sign is telling the mouse not to stop running in its wheel. Sometimes he adds to the natural wear and tear that was already there (no rhyming intended!), like adding a plane at the end of a long white streak on a building. I'd say that sometimes his art enhances the view, but other times, not so much. Graffiti of a soldier peeing on the wall isn't what we'd think of as inspiring, but he just does what he wants, and he is a great artist, nevertheless.

The Definition of Art

[[356]]

The pages 2-3 in "Practices of Looking" made me think about the definition of art, or visual culture. As Raymond Williams said, "[It is] one of the most complex words in the English language. It is an elaborate concept, the meaning of which has changed over time." It also says how popular media like movies and television weren't worthy of serious academic study, and weren't included in the fine arts. The meaning of art to us obviously changes, since it is a very popular form of art today.

Typo!

Just a note, on page v in the Intro in "Launching the Imagination," I thought it was funny they spelled elements like "elemtns." They do proofread the book that we pay a fortune for, right?
