Presentation Summary

Connections I’ve made from the videos and readings throughout the semester were to the interview with Trevor Noah, Other People’s Footage and Mechanical Reproduction.

Trevor Noah spoke on how he connected with class B more than A because of the culture. My Skate Documentary reflects on that through the topics of skate shops and the skate community as a whole because of how the community feels like a family the way we help each other out through tips and the giving of parts to those in need. Most of my works stem from that identity because that’s what I connect to and how I identify myself.

Other People’s Footage is another video I made connections to through my repurpose video of Kickin It and my Monsters in my Head video. For Kickin It I redubbed the voices and added the old batman song and turned it into a scene about being ripped off and added a comical sense to it changing the scene to fit my message. For The monsters in my head piece I added a small portion of Monsters by Kxng Crooked and the other members of Slaughterhouse to fit the message I was trying to convey. The message I was trying to convey was someone trying to maintain his sanity while battling voices in their head.

For Mechanical Reproduction my Zoo York Pieces related to that because of how each time I reproduced the idea of the big apple I gave it a new aura and new Identity and I will also be using Illustrator to vectorize it and add color which is where the mechanical reproduction will come in.

1Eye Grip

 

Hive mind

Starts out with the protagonist and his family going on with their day as usual. Then his family goes on social media and become infected as their minds are taken over. He sees code begin to travel from their arms and goes up to the brain. This is when the protagonist realises they have become part of the hive. He tries to snap them out of it but he too gets infected and has his mind taken over

Art As Inovators

In Money to Burn Dred Scott did a performance in which he burned $250 worth of money while yelling money to burn  on Wall Street. In this piece he tried to get other people to offer up money for him to burn. This was his way to critique how money works in corporate America in how only a small portion of people get the most. This is an example of a filter in the view of money being the most important thing in society. Within society money is often associated with power in who ever has the most then they are considered to have the power to control things. I feel that he was saying that people should not put to much importance in money because there are more important things in the world.
