In the book, it talked about the exhibition "Software." Only until the very end did it mention that the piece SEEK had gerbils in it!
Why would it not elaborate on that..?

Aww, gerbils!! -->

Robotic Chair

On page 164 in Shanken, the piece "Robotic Chair" was interesting to me. As I read, I thought to myself that I'd look and see if I could find a video on it. As I finished the section, it said Youtube videos have been viewed many, many, times. Perfect!

I thought this was really cool. When the chair finally found its way to the piece, I was surprised at how quick and accurately it attached itself!

Then, like any good book/movie/whatever (in my experience), 
it gives you hope, 

and at the end,

IT'S GONE

IT BREAKS RIGHT AWAY
I just felt so happy for it..


(Why can my characters never be happy?? D: )

"Let It Go" According to Google Translate!


This brings me so so SO SOO much joy!!


This is just SO great!! 

Christmas Break Art!

I decided I needed to "update" my mom's Christmas village..
Then I went crazy editing it ^_^

I just meant to take a simple picture..
but then I got my SLR and poster board out for a background..
Then Photoshop..
Then it just kind of happened.

Here's the original!
I would have posted this around Christmastime.. 
But no one would see it..!

Studying? About that..



Sometimes school becomes too much for me, then this happens.

Shanken: 54-78

I really like the idea of making art with light. I've done some things, like Bokeh photography, or just simply taking pictures at different angles from the light (for the lens flare, mostly).

On page 67, it shows a red cube of light. It can be imagined as a flat projection, or as an actual object. I have specific memories of imagining the same idea when I was really young. It's fun seeing it as an actual art piece.

And, okay. Forgive me. Page 61. In the piece "Light Ballet" I can only see Doctor Who. The 1963 title sequence looks like they're doing the same thing. (Looks like it, at least.. I tried researching how they made the theme, but I only got results on the music part of it.. which I already knew..)

Seriously though.
