Second Life : Progress

 

  This is what I have right now for my 'normal' self in Second Life. I actually found hair that is similar to mine in the shop, but I can't find where it went after buying it. It's not in the same destination that the email told me it was. I also bought a bag, shoes and Zelda shirt but those didn't show up either. I did get the gloves and Nintendo DS Lite that I bought, though, and I'm wearing them in the picture. The hair chosen is somewhat similar, but I'm still going to work on finding the design I bought. 

  For the 'fantasy' self, I have a few ideas and will get started on that.  I found a lot of items that I can use in the shop.  Hopefully the ones I bought yesterday show up sometime.

Found Video Project Draft

This is the draft for my found video project. I found almost all of the clips I want to use, I just need to shorten it to thirty seconds and figure out what to do for transitions and sound. I'm only using footage from video games for this project.

Video Art Reading Questions

1. “‘Art’ and ‘artful’ are separate, though linked, terms that exist to help us differentiate between what can and cannot be considered to be art. Artful techniques may enliven commercial television, advertising, etc., but these techniques are not in themselves what we would normally call art. Art lies in the intentionality of the artist: to make or conceive of something without the constraint of some other purpose.” What are your thoughts on this quote from the reading?

 2. What do you think makes video art unique from a traditional piece of artwork?

Digital Imagination - Project 2

This is my stop motion animation of my triptych image. In this project I tried to show how the pixels created the images. You can do anything with your imagination, and you can also create your ideas. I think this better shows the idea of creating video games.
