7. Synthesis Boards

In class


Today we got our mood boards critiqued. For mine, I opted to use Andy Goldsworthy imagery because I feel it relates to my subject incredibly well. He uses nature, found art and creates something profound, something so much more than just the sum of its' parts. This is much how I feel the internet works. It is everyday and is there for anyone to take advantage of. With that said here are the synthesis boards:




I think for the posters I'd be interested in making 3 iterations that somehow come together to make a much bigger poster. In 3 parts (nets)!

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
