Dialogue, Modernities and technologies - Notes and Reflection


  • Presentations by Catherine Baker, Jamie Gledhill, Steven Pippin, Clunie Reid.
  • Am i optimistic for the future in regards to technology enhancing or am i concerned?
  • Technology is something all the speakers have in common
  • the world around us shifts as technology progresses
  • modernity brings opportunity, brings new ways at looking at the world
  • the rapid rate at which technology is changing can make us feel panicked and overwhelmed 

Catherine Baker

  • science technology - the relationship between an artist and a scientist doesn't always work 
  • answers she was looking for werent something she could answer with her own knowledge and research - if ones self cant answer the questions always best to seek someone who does rather than giving a half hearted answer that may be possibly incorrect.
  • When searching for a scientist shes didn't just email everyone she did her research and tried to find the person who best suited what she was looking for - she then research everything there was to know about them before getting in contact

Waiting
  • Finds it hard to be able to select one image to represent someones illness 
  • waiting is a lot of the process when being medicated - the waiting till the end of life can be painful and a struggle
  • important to talk to the patients and understand their process
  • natural thing of holding breath underwater - water is taken up of oxygen but is something we cant breath in 
  • patient isn't the only one waiting, family, friends are all waiting but each will have different feelings
  • very personal, immersive experience to allow the artist into - so important to keep connected with doctors and patients 
  • endless cycle of people waiting - constant cycle of film one person in one out 


Jamie Gledhill

  • playful and placement - how technology can mediate the space between us
  • playing around with deconstructing what technologies are out there and reconstructing them to come up with new ideas
  • looking at how digital technology can enhance a space
  • development of technology can mean looking back at previous work and reworking them - having a new perspective

  • co-interaction looking at ways people interact with work as well as each other
  • artist made himself available to chat to the audience and reserve feedback which informed his work on how he could possibly make this better in anyway - relating back to my dissertation about how artist use their audience to inform future ventures
  • Tried work out by presenting something which he knows as to being incomplete, to then have the audience voice their opinion on how it could be made better
  • important to review peoples actions as it may voice an improvement without saying anything 
  • looking at how the importance of play has been forgotten so important to interact with space and to bring play back
  • every audience is different - each audience will have a different way of responding therefore each response will give the piece a different meaning but overall its fundamentals are play

Steven Pippin

  • kinetic Sculptures
  • crude pinhole photography experiments
  • processing images in washing machine - boring process but yet interested in the connections 
  • playing with mirrors in way to allow the camera to take images of itself - evolved so that the camera was cut in half so it took a picture of itself in two halves yet put together makes a whole
  • faxing continuously to each other creating an closed loop of communication which cant end
  • work has evolved with the use of technology

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Professional Photography (Outcomes) - Documentation & Evaluation

The bellow images are the outcome from the professional shoot i did with a photographer. These images have now allowed me to have material for my Instagram, website, promotional material such as business cards or postcards and images for my documentation book. We also photographed my ginkgo leaves that i produced last unit this was a request from the student who i was collaborating with that designed my documentation book - they required ginkgo leaves with  a plain white background. I'm most pleased with the images of my submission for the bishops art prize the contrasting monochrome works so well together which wasn't something i had trailed until the day of the shoot.
