Week Nine

Presentations commenced.

Creating videos!
As I was away last week I need to catch up on how to use the video making program correctly. i was thinking of creating a video as my final piece however i will see how this class goes and see how well i can use the program before i make it 100 percent.

Peter Callas - Australian video artist from the 60's and he is still making work today. He talks a lot about cultural identity. Especially in the areas he has lived e watched a video he created and in the video he is trying to expose the hidden meanings in Japanese games and how young children and hooked on them at a very young age. We also watched a small clip made in 1988 where he is focusing on the history of white man coming to Australia.
VAIL EXPORT- this is another video artists discussed today.

Gary Hill - American born artist, he brands text into his video art. We watched a small clip of the incidence of the catastrophe 1987 -1988. this clip is very dark and shows water flowing over a sand bank. Text appears however its hard to read due to its close up shot. The word water continues to show.

The images on my blog are just interesting images i found. the photo frame one really gave me a good idea for my regret theme.
