In class
Mood Boards were presented to the class. Hanging was at 9am, critique lasted roughly 3 1/2 hours. Below are my mood boards.
Out of class
What I took away from the critique were very interesting comments. First the idea that the internet as this huge open space or some amorphous technological string is a bit played out. The Internet Revolution is over and the internet is here and now. It's in coffee shops and it is everyday. But more importantly more than creating the illusion that the internet is some crazy huge 2nd world it's really condensing spatial relations. For instance I can be in a coffee shop and also watching the latest sports game on ESPN, or the current events in Japan, halfway around the world. I can be in these places all at once because of the internet. So, with that said, I am going to focus on finding a contemporary photographer that illicits these same ideas.
Some other contemporary artists' work I am considering:
Tjasa Owen
Pilimo
Andy Goldsworthy
