Final

A Narrowed view point does not allow people to see the full picture, unless they have a wider perspective. Sometimes people miss its importance, since they just watch what is close by. Important things may be hidden behind something. It is always too early to judge the situation before looking at it as a whole. The process may be tough, but it is necessary. For instance, schooling can be boring and seem unworthy now. However, students should realize what it will bring to them in the future. Maybe they will find their dream while they study something interesting or their degree will allow them to get a job that they want. 
A piece of the puzzle cannot tell the result before the puzzle is completed. However, people who used to do puzzles often, will be able to find the major pieces, earn some hints, and get to the end quicker than others. 
It took me looooong time to making this video, since I have never learned how to use Adobe Pro. I had to click everything until I found what I wanted or use google. This is my first video that I created by myself and I am proud of it.

      I was inspired by Mara Spiotta, a student who had the same project as me, creating and filming a performance art piece. In her video, she was standing in the middle of the mall, wearing a t-shirt saying, "Technology is my distraction from?" Although she did not call people to come up to her to give the answer, many people started to have interest in her project.  

While I was watching the video, I was thinking that making people read random words lets them think of something that they were not going to think of. Even one word may change the subject that people were thinking about before they read the word. My boyfriend and I held the words, "Relax" and "Peace" on the streets on campus, to encourage people to relax and have a peace for a moment. We posed in a yoga pose that represents relaxation and peace. To show everyone near us, we spun 360 degrees like the spinning globe at Universal Studios. 

My three favorite performance artists are Jihee Lee, Seungyoon Choi, and Kunyoung Chang. They are all Korean artists and normally perform in the theatre. In their work, technology does not play an important role. However, one time Seungyoon Choi used a lot of televisions for her performance. I personally think, in the field of Performance Art, the audiences do not necessarily have to find out what the producers are trying to say through their works, but the subject should be expressed clearly.

Girl Power- Beyoncé – Run the World  

Beyoncé is a globally well-known singer. One of her songs, "Run the World," fits in the Girls Power music category. She questions who runs the world? And answers, Girls! This lyric clearly proves that this song is in the Girl Power genre. 

Electro- Humming Urban Stereo – D.D.D 

When I was in high school, I had to make a video about my life. In order to express the excitement of my life, I wanted to use some kind of manic music. I found this song and I used it in my video. It is typical electro music.  

Techno- Koyote – pure love 

 As soon as I saw the word, "Techno," the group, Koyote, popped into my head. Koyote is a singer group that is known for techno music in Korea. Their songs are old but people these days still like the songs. 

New Wave- The Buggles – Video Killed that Radio Star

I was not familiar with New Wave music. I searched about it and found The Buggles' music. The subject made me click their video.  

Nineties- Los Del Rio - La Macarena 

This song came out in the mid-nineties and became popular around the world. They have a featured dance for this song, which has also turned out famous. The song and the dance are catchy and easy to follow for everyone.

I was inspired by objects that reflect on the river,  which are included in Land Art. For instance, if there is a half of the circle on the water, it will be reflected and makes a full circle. Because the scanner was not big enough, I could not scan and print the whole reflected image. Therefore, I had to color the missing area with a pencil. I did not want to use hands, since hands are too common objects. However, I had no other choice. I had to use a printer in the school library and I had to be quiet and calm. The printer and the scanner did not allow me to be more creative, but it was fun.

I remembered that I had to do rug hooking as an assignment when I was in elementary school. As soon as I got another assignment in college, which was to create a work of art using 900 units, I was reminded of the rug hooking and decided to do it. I brought it on the way to school from home for spring break on the plane. I started that when I flew across the Pacific Ocean, and finished it when I got to New York. It took longer than I thought, but it was a great way to kill time for 13 hours of flying.

I made an elephant, because I am looking forward to studying abroad in Thailand this fall.

          When I first got my own cellphone ten years ago, it was not a smartphone. There was no emoji such as 😍,🐌,👫,✋,💾 or 🚌. Instead, I used emoticons, like *^_^*, V( ͒🔽͒ )V, ≥ 3 ≤ or -___-;;. These kinds of facial expressions that we can make with the keyboard characters are considered American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) art. Both have the same concept that makes a picture or image with computer keyboard symbols.

          ASCII art grows further than only creating emoticons. People these days can make anything using ASCII. This is really amazing, since we can produce art work with only keyboard symbols. As I am not an artistic person, I feel like in order to make an image, I should have some kind of paper and tool that I can actually draw on. I was amazed when I realized how many ways there are to create art.

         The American National Standards Institute developed ASCII when many people started to use email a lot more often. Computer science is spread out in the world; it is not only prevalent in the science and technology fields, but also within art. Back to when I first used the cell phone, we only had several facial emoticons that we can put in our text. However, it grew to include the ASCII art of a Christmas tree for Christmas text messages and an umbrella for texts in cases where there will be rain. Now, people create ASCII art for anything with details.
