Radiolab and 24-Hr Assignment: Radiolab- The commentary on controlling the velocity of time with productivity was interesting to me. A good way of contextualizing time is through how much we achieve in a given amount of time. My way of thinking in hindsight is very similar to this concept. When I think of certain phases of my life I think of what happened during those phases instead of the actual measure of time of each individual phase. The musical segments of the podcast were a bit far-fetched in my opinion. This could relate to my studies of music theory in the past. Having studied chords, rhythm, and tempo, the reintroduction of this idea wasn't very thought-provoking for me. For my 24-Hr Assignment I drew my shadows throughout the day from every time I stepped outside. I wish I could have done more with this, but the cloudiness played a large role in obscuring my shadow.
All Your Last Week's Desires by Tobias Rehberger German artist Tobias Rehberger created an installation that projects light from exactly a week prior to the time in which it is being viewed (using a sensor gleaning light patterns from outside the gallery). The artwork is constituted by about a dozen strands of small, flat, stacked glass-like panels all dangling from a single wooden rafter. Each individual piece of each strand is part of the overall replication of light from the past. This piece relates to time-based media by using the measure of time as one of its dimensions. It is four-dimensional. Its record of the lighting outside from exactly a week prior is the one varying factor of the overall piece. This phenomenon is a small-scale model of a much larger reality, which is in the way we see stars. The relationship between time and distance within our solar system is what creates a delay in the light reflected from stars that are lightyears away. Rehberger manipulates natu...
This is a mixed media installation I created last year. The incorporated images are specific to the collective female experience (as drawn from my own experiences and others'). My goal was to capture the complicated nature of womanhood and gender in general. The piece is comprised of stickers, plexiglass, spray paint, cork board, original drawings, collected drawings/photos, fabric, tape, and a lot of pushpins.
