For the love of lights!

This is an example of an exhibition space. I love lights and I especially love what Suntec Sinagapore did. They created a new kind of space for events and exhibitions has become a reality after modernization plans were changed back and forth. The new space takes the concept of customisable exhibition spaces to the next level.

Kinect Dancing

This is an example of a CAMERA+KINECT performance.  The dancers us a Kinect to track their movement to display on the screen. This is a creative way to use other technology for something new. 

New age swings

Wow I wish I had this when I was younger.....Its a swing set that has a waterfall but when you swing through you don't get wet. It was created by GeoBeats and it falls under the architecture art, but its also functional!

Tipper !!!!

Tipper is a DJ and some may think he is weird but I love him. It sometimes even hard to dance because all you can do is stare at the visuals. He works with a guy that goes by Andriod Jones who creates the visuals. And the collaboration of the art and technology world is so cool.

Tupac Is Alive!!!

At the 2012 Coachella  they did a 3D hologram performance of Tupac. Snoop Dogg (the real people) came out and preferred with the Hologram. If I was there I would of been freaking out. This is such a unique idea and it must of meant a lot for Snoop.This would fall under the virtual performance category. 

All Hail the Bass God

Bassnectar is my favorite performer of all time. He make electronic heavy bass/dubstep music. The best thing about his shows is  that he care just as much about the visuals as he does the music. The visuals always go along with the song. It is a magical experience. Everything he does uses technology.

So cool!

This is a live performance by the band Gorillaz and it is under the Virtual category. Damn I wish I could of seen this live. By using virtual people is unique but then also making it a remix and bringing out real people to feature on the song is a good blend of technology and the real world.

Projections on ice!

This is a great way to get people to not get up from their seats at a hockey game. The projection is a good use of space. It seems like the possibility are endless when it comes to projections. The Tampa Bay Lightning should do this!!

Trippy

Sydney morphed into a psychedelic wonderland using projected lights. I would have love to seen this in person. The scale of the building is what makes the projection so cool. Also the movement of the images reflects the movement of the water. 

The future is now

Projection stuff has always caught my attention. Theres this company called DrawLight that is  speicalizes in  immersive installation where projections interact with chosen geometries on which they are projected. The core of Immersive Media. The also do holograms  They can work with any type of object to project on. I WANT THIS!

Feminism for the win. Feminism means equality for all. So for these women to fight for equality in the art world. They talk about its a history of men power dominating the art world. The women have been doing this for 30 years. They became guerrilla because they wanted to be anynomusly but still be photographed and be noticed. The women want to make a statement. They believe art should be about the culture not money. Not about excluding women. GO GIRLS KEEP FIGHTING!

Thats hot

OMGGG I LOVE THIS. What a great idea. Banksy got a copy of Paris Hilton's album and made a political statement piece about the wealthy with her album cover.Then he put them back in stores!!!! AWESOME BRILLIANT.  There were 500 copies in 42 stores...I wish I had done it. I like how you see the whole process and the song in the background is entertaining. Its probably better then the songs on the CD. I wonder if he listened to it.

Exit through the gift shop

The infamous, shadowy British graffiti street artist Banksy has literally left his mark on cities throughout the world. He comes in contact with Thierry Guetta, a Los Angeles-based Frenchman who videotapes various underground art escapades, and later is transformed into an art phenomenon dubbed "Mr. Brainwash." Rhys Ifans narrates an overlapping documentary where the line between what is real and what might be fake blurs, as modern art and celebrity are put under the microscope. It is interesting how they never show Banksy's Identity, but still feature him.

pOp ArT

Pop Art appreciates popular culture, or what we also call “material culture.” It does not critique the consequences of materialism and consumerism; it simply recognizes its pervasive presence as a natural fact. Pop Art was the new attract art. Rebelling against the esoteric vocabulary of abstract art, they wanted to express their optimism after so much hardship and privation in a youthful visual language.

Abstract Art

Abstract Art is my favorite kind of art because it is wild and totally up to interpretation. Each person who looks at it might think something different of it. I like how this video addressed it and talked more deeply about the history of it.

Artsy

Fine art can be boring. I took a class last semester called Form and Idea and it was painful. But I did learn some things. This video is a fun take on teaching old art. By putting the random things in like the shark makes you pay attention more. Also I will be more likely to remember it now. I wish we watched this in my other class.

Wait what sheep?

Hahahaahah I do not know what I just watched....these men were herding sheep to move around and create patterns. Then they put lights on them!!!!!! Strange idea but it was well executed.

SIMS RULE

I think I have every SIM game, however they all are for PCs and now I have a Mac so I can't play them. But now that I know there is a website called SimCity and its the same thing but online and you can play with other people. This is also the most expansive city management game yet where you can control a region that delivers true multi-city scale and play a single city or up to 16 cities at once each with different specializations.It is so much fun to create your own virtual world and people. Lets just say I just signed up for the website :) BRB PLAYING FOREVER!!! 

Apple had been trying to be the top dog from the beginning.

I am an advertising major and in all my classes we always talk about the Apple commercial that was released in 1984. The commercial aired nationally only once, but its creativity and impact on the product prompted Advertising Age to select it as the "Commercial of the Decade." The ad is daunting and makes you want to break away from the norm (PCs) and get the new mac. It is unlike any other commercial, which may be why its so memorable. Even though it only aired once the Nielsen ratings estimated that the ad reached 46.4 percent of American households, although how many people actually saw it is left to speculation. And still people are talking about it.
