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 […]

Nicholas O’ Brien: The Four Tools exhibition was really interesting.  I liked his idea of turning tools such as a coatrack, the church key, the eraser and the broom into a story about h0w these items are literally used but also the essence of these items which then turns into a story of analogies relating to […]

  According to the three panelist, they all agree that politics has changed since the 2008 campaign.   Ever since the launch of social media, elections has been more inclusive of old and new voters.  Participations in the primaries has increased compared to the years before 2008.  Especially, many Young voters are turning up in the […]

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 […]

I had an exceptional time visiting the Nicolas O’Brian closing. I was very beneficial, because when making art there’s two sides; there’s making the actual tangible piece for your viewer, and discussion of your art. I felt what was most unique about Mr. O’Brien, not only was he an amazing visual/ interactive artist, but his ability to convey […]

I went to see Nicholas O’brien’s art today. I really liked that the videos were animated, with not too much movement going on. I found very interesting how O’brien was speaking about such simple things as an eraser, a churchkey, coat rack and a broom but he spoke of it not as if it was […]

Thursday was an exceptional experience and was very informative. I wasn’t able to make it to the first lecture, but was able to see the second and third lectures. I particularly liked the second lecture with Jonathan Fisher, Ben Chang, and Ken Perlin. All were very informative about VR, and have been doing research for […]

I had heard about the Occulus Rift a couple years back and was so excited for the world of immersive technology and its impact on the gaming world. Only a year later, Facebook bought the company. I thought this was a weird move for the social media giant but I knew something big was going […]

This exhibition was interesting.  I was confused about how each piece connected to one another but I think at the end it somewhat made sense.  When you got out of the elevators, you are welcomed by visuals of colorful sounds waves.   As you come into the first piece, there are videos of the prisoners […]

At the Marian Goodman Gallery, I visited the “My English breath in foreign clouds” by Tacita Dean exhibition. I must say it was the most positive exhibition I have ever been too. The main theme was clouds. Clouds in a bright blue sky. Clouds in a dark sort of pre-storm. Clouds in a dessert. Basically, Dean […]
