A7: Video Deconstruction

Video Deconstruction: Storytelling

For my video deconstruction I took inspiration from The Wayseer Manifesto in how he used a variety of clips to provide a visual to his own manifesto. My deconstruction video centers around certain parts of a TED talk given by Andrew Stanton (a PIXAR director/ producer) and I combined it with various clips from different animated children's movies. I wanted to show that children's movies (specifically animated children's movies) are often a lot deeper and more thought provoking than people tend give them credit for. Even though all of these movies were created with child audiences in mind, the messages of these stories aren't just limited to children but for all ages and this is the main point that I wanted to get across.

A6: Performance Art

For my performance art piece I dressed up in my Spryo the dragon onesie and walked around the park, picking up "treasure" while I played music from the original game through a small speaker attached to my bag. I wanted to do something a bit more fun and humorous and given that Spyro is a pretty iconic/ recognizable character I thought I would be able to get better reactions from other people. Both the music and my actions of picking up gems/treasures were from the original game Spyro the Dragon . Not that many people gave noticeable reactions to my performance, most would smile but then look away very quickly or they would simply ignore me. The best reactions I got came from children and people who seemed to recognize who I was dressed up as. The entire experience was not that much fun for me, I got hot very quickly inside the onesie walking around the park, my view was blocked because of the way the hoodie was designed, and needless to say it was pretty embarrassing. I...

A3: Kuri

Ivette Torres Professor Roundtree Art and Technology March 1st, 2018 Kuri is described as being a home and companion AI robot. Originally built to be a security robot, Kuri's creators decided to focus on a robot for companionship rather than protection. Kuri is more or less a robot designed for interaction and entertainment. The biggest influence from previous decades for Kuri, and basically all robotics, would be the automaton. Automaton were mechanisms that performed human functions and typically, but not always, had a human-like aesthetic as part of their designs. Some examples of automaton would be Jacques Vaucanson’s automan of a pooping duck in which he constructed a mechanical duck that would eat seeds and poop them out and Wolfgang von Kempelen chess playing automaton – which turned out to be a complete scam but encourage other engineers to create automaton that could actually perform complex actions.

BP2: Raul Cuero's interview

I found the actual progression of the interview to be extremely dull.There were certain answers/ stories I would have been more interested in hearing Cuero elaborate further on rather than having him continue on with answering this set list of questions. But regardless of that after hearing Raul Cuero talk about himself I do think that he is a pretty amazing and inspiring person. Two quotes from the interview that I found really interesting were from his response to whether or not he thought children born into luxury were at a creative disadvantage. Cuero said that, "creativity had to do with how you perceive nature in relation with you existence",as well as that,"ideas emerge from interactions with other ideas". While I do agree with these statements to an extent I do not agree with Cuero one hundred percent.When talking about ideas emerging from other ideas Cuero implies that this can only happen through direct communication with other individuals, and once again...
