I am fascinated with old pictures. I don’t know if it is because I feel that black and white photography is becoming extinct, or if I simply value the art of its craftsmanship. What I do know is that I am driven by the anticipation of discovering if any of them still work. I enjoyed using cellphone to take the old style pictures. Differ by the uniqueness of their limitations in relation to shutter speed, focal length, depth of field, camera model and type of APP. I feel like the black and white pictures can exactly tell people what I want to say.

All aspects of a cellphone camera have an effect on the quality of a photograph in which aesthetically could be utilized as and advantage. And although cellphone cameras could never produce sharp images like a digital camera, it does not matter because strong photography is not dependent upon the camera used, but upon the photographer. So I’m still learning how to use cellphone camera to tell the stories.

Through the farther exploring of new media art, I find a way to give my picture a live. Which is creating an animation, it can combine a series of pictures together. And I think animation not only gives the picture alive, but also helps me to tell a story. Moreover, I can incorporate animation with soundtrack. And my pictures are specking now!

The Art of Noises (1912) by Luigi Russolo, which proposed to the musical establishment the introduction of machines for the production of noises in the development of musical pieces, in a time when the only conceived sound was the traditional tonal sounds from the instrument. So the Art of Noises becomes a Famous manifesto. Russolo’s manifesto was not a sudden influx of noise into Western music—the birth cry of musical modernity—but an intervention in a struggle as old as music itself. What Russolo attacked as the meagerness of the auditory sensorium at the dawn of the twentieth century was in fact the product of a protracted normalization of music enforced by the coordinated disciplines of aesthetics, instrumental technology, and music theory. The same process that tamed sound and enabled the stunning compositional constructions of European art music also drastically narrowed our ears’ perceptual bandwidth, and made us deaf to the world beyond the confines of concert music and its domesticated, well-behaved, “indoor instruments.” For a century now we have been learning how to hear anew. Russolo did not discover noise, but helped us to recover it.

On this LP of Dial-A-Poem Poets are 27 poets. The records are a selection of highlights of poetry that spontaneously grew over 20 years from 1953 to 1972, mostly in America, representing many aspects and

Different approaches to dealing with words and sound.In the middle of the Dial-A-Poem experience wqas the giant
self-consuming media machine choosing you as some of its food, which also lets you get your hands on the controls because you’ve made a new system of communicating poetry.

For my final project, i will put my animation on website and it will incorporate with soundtrack.  In this project i will use the technologies which i learned during this semester including photo shop and  audacity.
