Video Art Piece

Sorry the video would not post but the link above is the correct link.

My idea was to decontextualize a ps3 controller to represent it as a music machine. So I took a video of someone playing a game and broke down the individual noises and made them into a coherent song.

Sight Short Film

I LOVE THIS SHORT FILM! I have seen it before and I didn't really appreciate it for the technology aspect but holy crap! I definitely think this is stuff we will see in the near future. I really liked the film aspect to it and the cinematography was outstanding. Without all the graphics this short would not of been as cool or as powerful. I really liked there eyes and how they showed up as screens. I also think that if something like this were to become a reality it would become very hard to tell what is digital and what is not digital. For me the most interesting part is the games and how there lives revolve around games. I think that is a really cool aspect of integration from our gaming systems today.
This will be my last blog post for art 211 and I am really sad this class is over ;( It was a great class and Santi thank you for making me join this class it was really great!!!

Golan Levin interview and Website

Interview :
I really liked watching the interview and see him answer questions from his fans. I got really annoyed with the video because it was filmed with the connected and he filmed it in 3d space. My eyes started to hurt after watching it for about 5 minutes. After about 8 minutes my eyes hurt so bad I could not watch it and could only listen to it. I think this video form is something for the future and something we will see a lot more of but for now it was to distracting from the content of the video. Aside form the video I really liked the part where he talked about how we should all know coding but not just physical but software to web to java to ruby, so that way we have a really good overall view of the technology.

Website :
Out of all the cool projects he has posted on his website I choose to write about the digital bar. I really liked this concept and thought it was really cool because it was something someone of all ages could enjoy. I also really like how they interact table to table and could bring the whole bar together. It was also really cool that if someone put a drink down the little fish would circle the drink and create almost the same colors as the liquid in the glass. I wish I had the chance to see this in person.
