Uploads of my latest videos will be added in the next few days. My final critique committee is as follows:
Janie Paul
Nick Tobier

Endi Poskovic

As I twittered earlier this evening, I feel excited and terrified. Four professors, all of whom I have a great deal of respect for.

Projected Animation Video

Projected Animation

Tested a projected animation using my $10 Identity object. Unfortunately I only have still images, not video, but this could definitely be something I include in my final time-based project. Serves as good raw material. The animation is an expression of inner turmoil.

Studies for film

Two studies for two film images I plan to shoot - each study focuses on a figure in a certain environment. The first is of a shot of the Catherine St. bus stop in Ann Arbor, meant to represent travel; and the second takes place in Friday discussion section.

Stephen Wilson

Stephen Wilson is a professor at San Francisco State University, and had made interesting work combining artistry and virtual reality. Of particular interest to my IP are projects that use computers to tell a fictional narrative story that is influenced by an audience. In his 1998 installation, Crime-Z-Land, Wilson combines interactivity via computers, with real time statistical information to give the user a sense of the "pulse" of San Francisco crime.

New Media Scotland

I talked to Professor John Marshall yesterday about incorporating an internet element into my IP. One of the resources John suggested was New Media Scotland. They have interesting works, and I hope to learn more about internet art soon.
