4D art

Ideation: What is it? An object that uses water to mimic music, including rhythm, tone, variations in volume.  How does it work? Water droplets fall from the top reservoir into the lower ones. I think I’ll use Tupperware probably What does it represent? I want to combine ambiance with musical expression, moving something common into somewhere “sacred” (like the gallery, or the room where we saw the performance presentations.) It’s also something mechanical, removing the expression of the artist completely. In other words, I’m giving life to something inanimate. that sounds so pretentious lol, I feel like a true artist now 🤣🤣🤣 Similar to minimalist music, I'm using repetition to take a single moment of sound and sort of "zoom in", and this sound changes and edits over time. You can hear the droplets hitting the water, which is layered upon the boxes vibrating against each other, which is layered upon the different frequencies emitted by the separate box...

What other omnipresent yet unnoticed thingssurround our community? How can sense of smell be incorporated into art. It's already being used in virtual reality, how else?

Laurel: That New New ❤️ Improvement: It seems like your old boots have taken on a lot of symbolism for you, being that you kept them for so long, saying "they fit so well," and the concept of symbolism is very clear in the piece. I do wish that you had fleshed out how objects take on symbolism more, and maybe you could've also explored the idea of something being personal (in your very personal connection with your old shoes, and the personal connections with all the ones in the thrift shop). Lejay: Day Interpretation: You seem to have played with the nature of reality and the way it relates to art. I think the artist "sees" things in a different light way, represented by the drawn landscape. I'm not quite sure about the symbol of the birds, but I tend to think they're somehow related to the freedom of an artist's different view of reality. Mary: I'll Leave the Light On Interpretation: This piece was full of emotion, and had great video...

"Natural" The video won't load into blogger, so here's a YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zafc0cVqIFA I definitely feel that my project was a success as I was able to illustrate the idea of something "natural" becoming something "unnatural" in a humorous way. For the project, I: "deconstructed" a flower, "arranged" it onto cling wrap, "transmuted" it into paper, and then placed it in my vase. I did run into some problems with keeping the camera still between shots as well as keeping the "set" consistent, but I was able to deal with those by adding cuts in the editing process. It was also difficult because I knew that for a lot of these shots I could only do one take: if I messed it up I'd have to start over completely.

It seems like the incorporation of time in art has a connection to music. Is the merging of music and visual art through videos and other media contributing to art's incorporation of "time and motion?" Time and motion have been incorporated in artwork for a very long time, and it has always been incorporating more dimensions through which to explore time. How will new technologies and media contribute to this?
