Artist Research (Mel Chin)

*Chin.SEA to SEEv13sm

Picking one installation by this artist, I had to go with the “Sea to See." This particular piece intrigued and grabbed my attention because it dealt with the underworld life of water. The worked focused on oceans which was the median of connection for the installation. It was amazing to see how the artist created an environment of an aquarium more so, the depth's of the oceans. For me a was a refreshing piece, that was simple, that gave a cinematic feel of being underwater.
Interestingly, the art itself has substantial meaning and purpose. The collaborative efforts of Chin and others focus, was to present ocean transformation of 100 years plus. Initially, i had no clue as for what, but apparently the purpose is t convey the impact of human constructions (IE: canals, bridges, pass-ways) and there effects on the ecology of the oceans. Digitized data visualization were incorporated as well. Real facts. The ability to create a visually pleasing and soothing environment was cool to me and the facts for why the installation was constructed was even better. I was very impressed and rather inspired.
** I was unable to locate an relevant interview or his artist statement**
But his bio did include that he was born originally in Houston, Texas in 1951. Typically, his works include a lot of multi-disciplinary and teamwork collaboration, combining multi-cultural aesthetics and complex ideas.

Performing Art Piece w/ Malia

Image
The performing art piece I chose to do with my partner Malia B. was one that should inspire many. At first I had no idea of what I wanted to do. I thought about a music video, but how can I be apart of a performance and put a twist on it. Thus, forth I decided to seek a partner or partners. In class me and Malia coordinated amongst ourselves when we meet. We met here on campus in the Music Department in the instrument portion of the building. I coordinated with an old professor about performing and getting together a group of students to join us. Inspired also by a famous producer know as TheGoat 808, he has challenge that you say or yell, "How you gunna be a GOAT and you don't GO OUT AND TRY!" Got it, easy pickings.

(2D)Pacman Grid Art (Marcus G)

Image
For my Grid Art project I took a different approach. I wanted to capture multiple elements of art in one project, thus I incorporated different aspects of art. I thought to myself, what will capture the visual aesthetics of other humans and their artistic vision. From U]T, to my house (all over), to the backyard, to the beach, in my room, I used the traditional grid of a cardboard box. Made with glitter. (This is the actual picture that inspired the art) My grid art project was inspired by my love for retro video games. I've always enjoyed older games like Pacman, Mariokart, Megaman, and more. So with this project I decided to change the elements and leave people in ahh. As appose to constructing a piece via grid (insertables) I chose to go a different. For my project I used a traditional grid from a bedframe box.. Yes I know, not average. However, the (box) bedframe was the base of my project. Incorporated in the piece you can see that Q-tips, Blue Elec...
