Self Portrait (experiment)

This is an experiment for my self portrait project. I decided to take lots of pictures of my face close up with the flash on the highest setting so that you can hardly see any of my features on some and others are on normal settings. I liked the idea that I could put photos on top of each other but I will have to take a lot more pictures before I can do this properly. I also importes a video clip from when I was on the bus to college in the morning, I liked the fact that it was dark and the pictures of my face were put on top of some of this clip. I really liked the colours in the sky and when I put the audio clip of Led Zepplin's staiway to heaven I thought it went really well with the slow sleepy morning mood of this video. I tried to make it look like i was more awake at the end of this video but im not sure if it was very effective. Ill try at again next time!!

Self

This is another video I found on you tube, it gave me an idea for my self portrait project above (experiment). I liked this video because throughout his expression stays the same, his weight seems to fluctuate and his eyes get older and more tired. I also liked the fact that you can see the progression of time through the changes in the background. It was taken over a period of 2356 days and the artist says its "a work in progress".

Touch See Believe

Art Installation: Touch, See, Believe

I found this video on you tube. It consists of three white beach balls suspended in airflow of three 18'' cooling fans.There are images of fire, Nevada Desert, and the Truckee River which represent fire, earth and water. I like this video as it shows a human collective desire for virtual image/object escapism.
