It’s hard for us to sympathize to an issue that is a thousand miles away unless it goes viral on the internet or in the news. The way Omer fast connected us to the drone pilot and the people affected by his actions is brilliant. The re-enactment of the ‘interview’ shows how powerful a message […]

Final Project
For my final project I wanted to include as many shots as possible to try something different. I went with Roksy all over the city trying to capture different shots. we captured shots around Baruch,Union Square and 34th street.

Response to Digital Divide
Technology, especially social media and the internet has changed the interaction of humans beings significantly. Videos,pictures, and documents could be shared in an instant. Art could be seen online with images of every piece of art posted online and found with a click of a button. This change in society has decreased the value of […]
Tacita Dean exhibit
I visited the Tacita Dean exhibit and thought it was slightly more interesting than the Anri Sala exhibit we had to visit at the Marian Goodman Gallery earlier on in the semester. When I walked into the exhibition, I thought the photos of the clouds were a bit strange. Then I read the words on […]
5000 Feet is the Best
In 5000 Feet is the Best, both parts of the video have moments where the view can be seen from above, or rather “5000 feet away”. The second portion of the video that took place in Las Vegas was a bit boring, but not so much what he was saying. The view of Las Vegas […]

Omer Fast
Before watching the video “5000 Feet is the Best” by Omar Fast, I was expecting to see a video related to an Omar Fast piece we saw in class where he showcased high quality sounds coming from regular things we see in our surroundings. Instead, the video is completely different. I was surprised to see […]
Immersive World – April 7, 2016
Before Lance Weiler did his presentation, he had all the audience write down on an index card a storytelling technique he uses on his own projects. Including a Sherlock Holmes project, he did at the Lincoln Center. The purpose of this technique is to help the creator/s of a project find purpose in a project and […]
