Writing Artist Statements

For tomorrow’s class, Artist statements are stupid and I don’t want to write one, bring the following:
1. Images from your final project, the more the better.
If you are working with analog technology, bring your prints. If you are working digitally bring a drive that contains your images.

2. Snacks. Writing is hard; snacks are not.

Make your own digital camera + Blog instructions

Make your own digital camera:
BigShot camera is a kit for making your own DIGITAL camera with panorama and 3D functionality. The scientist behind the project was interviewed this morning on National Public Radio’s, Science Friday where he explained some basic concepts of how digital cameras process and capture images.

Help with WordPress Posts
Several of you have mentioned you don’t know how to post to the blog. It’s super easy. Log in with your WordPress user name, and then just write.

I’ve posted an brief wordpress-tutorial I didn’t write this, but it seems to include all the basic instructions if you are having problems.

Your research bibliographies and images MUST be posted on the blog. Please TAG and CATEGORIZE your posts with Final Project (the category already exists, you simply chose it from the pull down menu) and any other relevant tags.

Kim–you have a DRAFT post. Remember that when you finish writing you must hit the PUBLISH button. Emma–try to post your Instagram link again.

If you are interested in posting to the blog from your phone, email me. I have a specific email address that allows you to do that!

What the what what?

Emma’s project + River’s project = Selfies at Funerals. Oh. My.

Real Life Instagram

After our conversation yesterday about the tension between analog and digital/fast and slow, I thought Emma and others would be interested in Bruno Ribeiro’s absurdist interpretation of Instagram.

And while we’re talking about Instagram, it’s worth mentioning, yet again, Dronestagram. And while we’re talking about drones, the theme of this year’s Le Mois de la Photo a Montreal was Drone: The Automated Image. Search the site for better yet, download the program.

Halloween Potluck!

Why, of course, people walk down the street eating peanut butter from a jar. Duh.

Katie had the clever idea of turning our crit into a sugar-fueled pot luck! Sounds good to me. If you are going to bring something please leave a comment on this post—that way we won’t end up with 5 bags of candy corn.
