Proposal For Video
The concept behind my video is interacting with people using different personalities. Different people can mean friends, family, or even different personalities inside ones self. I plan on shooting in my dorm room as well as in the Arts Village common room. I will have conversations with three of my friends as three different people and end the video by having the different personalities interact with each other. The different personalities include, myself as seen normally, myself as a pirate, and myself as a scotsman (I will go through extreme lenghts to protray the scotsman by dying my hair red and wear a kilt). The shots will consist mostly of face shots or bust shots, as well as profile shots and over teh shoulder shots. Audio will involve conversations and monolouges of the people in the video including myself and the two other personalities.

Response Quiz
1) John Baldessari is an artist that does conceptual work in front of a camera. In his film , "I am making art" he stands relatively still while saying the title over and over again.
2) Phyllis Baldino is an artist who in "I'm not a girl who misses much." She dances in front of a camera while repeating the title, as she continues in her dance is becomes somewhat of a mock of MTV and the image of women in society.
3) Thermogenesis sounds like an interesting work by Robert Moog, as it deals with images based on sounds.
4) Video art is a legitatmet art form. What we can do through digital programs today like voice overs, scene cuts, effects, and other things were all started through the pioneers of the video art realm.
5) Video art is used to create an emotion or portray a feeling purposefully (it is made as an art piece). While an artful video may have another purpose like reporting the news it can still be filmed in an interesting way.

The image is a large cylinder made out of granite. The monument is 7-1/2 meters tall and grey. There are Orange letters warpped around the center of the cylinder that are organized in such a way that they are actually a from of codding for the map of the human "suicide" gene. The tips are capped off with a shiney steel and the structure stands vertically outside of a carving production facility in Halden, Norway.
The "suicide" gene is the gene that causes a cell to self destruct shold it become damaged beyond repair. This is the gene that prevents cancer, for if a cell becomes too damaged it becomes dangerous to the body as if will continue to reproduce, the "suicide" cell ends that. This is a poweful message that can be interpretted as being able to sacrifice a part of ourselves to better us as people. Sometimes we have to give up on things or sacrifice time or things that we want to do, but in the end it will make us better as people. Putting the coding for this onto a monument is symbolic and extremely interesting. This is my favorite work out of the ones I have seen.

The structure is a mechanicle spider-like device made out of metal and hydrolics. It has six legs and is bare with wires and circutry showing how it works. There is a standing platform for those who wish to mobilize it along with two metallic gloes that I suppose are used to move the machine. It is an exoskeliton used to move others aound.
An exoskeleton in an interesting way to incorporate ones digital self into ones actual self. This expressed the inhuman deals that one manifests when contemplating the digital world. Mechanical insect legs and extra hands give humans the evolutionary edge that they need to further themselves. This brings the interest of the digital world to tehe outside of the being and makes them more evolved as technology has made humans more intelligent and accesible to information.

The peice is a collage of words and images peiced together digitally to portray a meaning. Words and phrases such as, "swap" "Exposure", and "He's a she" are in different white rectangular spaces and surrounded by body shots of the artist and shots of different objects that can be seen as representalitions for genitalia. Colors are primarily grey, black, and white, however blues, flesh tones, and other various colors can be seen throughout the collage.
This peice protrays the exposure of the artist as a transgender to society. Bolded and large print letters help to express the shock and objectable nature of the situation. Body shots of the artist and the objects that represent genitalia show how the thoughts that one may view when finding out that a person is a transgender. It shows how the artist is looked at with slight horror and exposure. I find that this sort of peice is very powerful.
