Updated Statue of Liberty


I modernized the statue of liberty by introducing the new millennia on old traditions.  I replaced the torch with an iPhone and the scroll with a book of New York, The drapery normally worn my Lady Liberty was sexualized with the use of a hot pink, form fitting leotard and the skirt and drapery merged technology and fashion by using lights to make a cocktail type skirt.


Luis- hilarious that you use you actually utilized a real laptop and walked into the ocean.
Hessa- looks like you were totally wasted... love it.
Abby- sick idea.... apple's growth is symbollically represented with the growth of technology and you represented that very well
Stef- looks like you stayed outside pretty long, the piece seemed well executed and the mishap in the beginning added to it
Grace- Crazy... I love it. Loved the connection of being enslaved to our phones.
Sebastian- Your performance piece reminded me of iRobot and movies like it.... I felt like I was in the future.
Emily- looks like smashing the camera was pretty fun
Francesca- an entire song of Yes and no seemed pretty creative.... we dont realize it but yes and no are used frequently to convey our ideas.
Jon- I would have been terrified to do that in walmart with the all the hood people in there lol.
Roy- Great message... you should have went during a better time... vaughn lobby was a great location
Hannah- the trip made the piece that much better.
Sarah- Nicki Minaj is always appropriate.
Amanda-creepy

Crazy Weekend









Steve Jobs Commencement Speech

Steve Job's Commencement Speech was alot to take in, I loved his message of not looking for the future to connect the dots for us but only dots can be connected when looking back. His section about being fired and reinventing himself resonances with me because alot of times I feel like failure discourages me and tells me maybe something isn't for me or it wasn't meant to be. Steve Jobs fought for his belief in his visions even when a room of directors and people he gave jobs, told him he wasn't thinking correctly or innovating in the right ways.

Mark Stock


I found this on Mark Stock's page and I found it really cool that he could decontexualize what something was and make it functional for another purpose. Mark Stock called it "Brushes with no paint" which is ironic because paint often comes in drums when buying large amounts. Mark Stock mixes art with magic and creates magically pieces by doing so.
