Critique

I was particularly happy with my last critique. I got a lot of positive feedback. What was unique about this critique is that we discussed my work as a whole, and possibilities for it's future. These are valuable issues that usually don't come up in critiques that I have had in the past.

Absurd

The vibration from this piece was hard to handle.

Marwencol

I watched this documentary last night. It may not have been the greatest documentary I have ever seen but it certainly was interesting. It focuses on Mark Hogencamp. Mark was basically a town drunk who was beaten into a coma outside of his local bar. When he awakes from his coma he has no recollection of his past and no desire for alcohol.  He is brain damaged and works hard to regain his motor skills. Eventually he finds an escape from his trauma by creating an entire town he names Marwencol. He basically designs an entire miniature installation full of characters and life. His photography becomes a result of this and it truly is impressive. Or perhaps after hearing his story it becomes truly impressive.

Marvelous mud

I have always been inspired by Martha. It was good to see some of her work up close and in person. Even without knowing the creators I felt that Martha (and her partner whose name I can't quite remember at the moment) had the strongest piece in the exhibit. The greatest element of all was to have the artists there to answer any questions. I was intrigued by their process and how it all began from some x-rays of back surgery after a terrible accident. They're end result seems to capture a feeling of organized chaos. I especially love the scale, the location, and of course the illumination.

Installation

Installation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform a viewer's perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called Land art; however the boundaries between these terms overlap.

Simulated out of body experience

I would love to dream up a way to make this piece easier to interact with.
