Juan Carlos Delgado

After looking at the link provided on Professor Santiago's website, I was initially a little unsure of why Delgado was even artist because the vase art didn't seem extraordinary but as I neared the chrome metal sheet project I had a change of mind. The slow removal of the prominence of the chair looks pretty cool and makes the view see an object change over time similar to the lecture about multimedia. The wooden paddles and car glass was also a great example of multimedia because it once came from a car and encompasses the idea that when the people were in contact with the glass/ car it changed into something different conceptually.
The degraded shoes are cool but I really didn't take to it like other pieces.

Art 211 Impression

As a student who has never taken an official college art class, Art 211 was interesting. I haven't really seen a professor ever break a vase on the first day so I am definitely curious as to how this class is going to go over the next couple weeks. In terms of what I expect from Art 211, I think I just want to understand how exactly art and technology meet. A famous image that most people can recall is below, the infamous platform of Apple's vision to always be at the intersection of where technology meets liberal arts. I have a certain level of clarity as to what this means but I really want Art 211 to concrete what this means.
