Final Video Presentation

Flong

My computer would not let me do any of the interact projects yet I was able to watch a video of the project titled
Opto-Isolator. In this art piece, which is a moving a blinking eye, viewers are always available to interact with this piece. The moves as you moves as well as blinks one second after the viewer blinks. I think this is a really cool piece. In my opinion and personal beliefs with art, I get more out of art when it is interactive. I find this type of art to be really creative and many interactive pieces are very moving.

Massive Attack

I had not heard of Massive Attack until I researched them after being given this blog assignment. They are a group that formed in 1988 and was and continues to be an influential group. This bad has a variety of sounds from electronic to experimental rock.  

I decided to listen to the song Karmacoma. Though it is music, they're voice were mostly talking while the actually music or noise in the background made the whole song. I think their voices were there to enhance and bring out the background music they produced.

Sight - Short Film

I did not know what to expect when starting this video. I really liked it in the beginning when he was playing the game, yet as the short film went on, I found this to be frightening. When and if something like this every comes into our society, I really hope I am not here. It also kind of made me feel sad. No one had a sense of creativity anymore in that world. When looking at the house and restaurant, it was bare. All anyone could see if what they wanted to see through their own eyes. And, the end especially scared me the most. He had the ability to control her and begin their introduction over again.

It is cool to see things like this, yet I would never want anything like this. Though this is kind of like the google glasses, yet not to the full extent, I would not want something installed or implanted in my body to make me a robot.

Golan Levin Interview

I thought this interview was really cool. Right away, it stuck out because it was not actually and concretely Levin presenting the interview, rather a 3D and holographic form of himself. He brought up many good points and answered many good questions.

I found it interesting when the question came up about should we be scared or excited when computers surpass humans. His answer was interesting, stating that he thinks this will never happen, yet there will come a point when computers become advanced they will fool us. Along with that, they will be so advanced so many new creations and technologies will be formed. This is something I think many people ponder all the time, whether we should be scared or excited for this day.

The Smiths

I like how the Smiths really changed what was to come for music. At the time, there was much hardship going on and the music was bland. Yet, when the Smiths came into play they changed everything. Their electric music caught the attention of everyone and they created a new wave of music for society. I find it really cool to see how so many different things can be going on, yet with the arrival or exposure of one entity can change everything. We still see this in todays society regarding music. For example, when Lady Gaga became know, she really became known. She has become an influential music figure for so many and continues to amaze everyone, just as what the Smiths did.
