Essays of class

(Will add my thoughts as I re-read them)

Anna leiza – “What are you doing?”

 Defining presence and interconnectedness within Twitter

The idea of Twitter is seemingly trivial, but it has and can be used in a powerful manner, this essay did convey it as a tool, which can be harnessed for more “serious” reasons.

The structure was logical, very readable and current.

My favourite quote

“It is living in the moment, in quite a Zen Buddhist way. “

Kevin Fox

Been re-reading it -inspirational but feels like R. Barthe.

I found it hard going but I can see the brilliance of it but the style  makes it less accessible, this is not a criticism  , because it is written in the style one associates with theoretical books but I personally find difficult to read and much harder to understand than Anna’s.

p.s I haven’t finished it yet, it’s taking longer , I ‘ve had to re-read it ,a few times to understand each part.

MA show-7 months to go

 I been thinking about the kind of work, I want to make for my MA practice major work since Tuesday’s class chat, but the trouble is that I have a can get bored with the length of time it sometimes takes to produce work.

If it takes too long to make and the work becomes a chore and also mediocre, and not worth bothering with.

My current thinking, is making small units of art work, which then could then be presented together, taking approximately a month from conception to completion, this could be a series of installations presented together, the configuration would depend on the structure of poetry the artwork had borrowed-haiku, Renga etc.

I want the work to evoke a feeling like perfume –

To have a top note (first Impact) –

Mid note (considering the work still infront of the work) and

A bottom note  (lasting impression).

Currently looking at Visionaire ,Wallpaper, The Snowman (wordless narrative), Paper sculpture Artists  .

Just Discovered Yoshihiro Suda

Okay he exsited before today, but I found him today and I’m really liking his work

Tell me the work isn’t like a Haiku?
