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 filminga performance art piece. In her video, she was standing in the middle of the mall, wearing a t-shirtsaying, "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 wordslets themthink 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 thewords,"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 thatrepresents relaxation and peace. To show everyone near us, we spun 360 degrees like the spinning globe atUniversal Studios.
My three favorite performance artists are Jihee Lee, Seungyoon Choi, and Kunyoung Chang. They are allKorean artists and normally perform in the theatre. In their work, technology does not play an important role. However, onetimeSeungyoon 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 outwhat the producers aretryingto say through their works, but the subject should be expressed clearly.
Beyoncé is a globally well-knownsinger. One of her songs, "Run the World," fits in theGirls 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.
