Next week: what's due / revised schedule for rest of term

ex-nihilo

for assignment 2:
- question and project brief:
- shot outline / shot list: structure of piece delineated by shot sequence, rhythm, pace, intonation: i.e. how does it unfold in time-space, how does tsructure inform your narrative, how you plan to execute it (serves as a map to gather thoughts and shots)
-COMPLETE ROUGH CUT, all shots included & sound

for assignment 1:
- bring modifications to review if you're refining (which i recommend for some projects)

"stupidity" readings:
- let's leave this for next week, I want you to focus on your video work for our next meeting.

"zizek" readings:
- write a one page paper on it, discussing these possible themes (pick one)
- ontic / ontology
- self-withdrawal
- materialism of imagination

side note: it's a busy week at school, understood, but work still needs to be done for this course, please plan accordingly.

REVISED SCHEDULE
as discussed last class, here is our updated schedule:
—i decided to take assignment 3 off the list and incorporate its parameters (documentation / process / situation) onto assignment 4 (your final piece)
this gives you more time to work on what is in process now and refine past iterations, I am looking for cohesive, beautiful work.

—assignment 2 is due week 9

—week 10: (wed, november 11) I am away in tokyo for a week, lets do a make-up class before i leave friday of week 9 (nov, 6th)
— you will have a substitute instructor for week 10, aaron bocanegra


below is a sample video form one of my students at art center, he made a sculpture, burned it down and did this piece as 'reconstruction'
using a strobe light to affect his visibility.

  1. Don't want to be mean but I don't understand the video. how does this relate to the idea of identity and the other?

    I can't stand that strobing light effect , how can anyone sit through it and see this ,really? And why would he want to submit himself to such pain and masochism.

    but hey, its impossible to like everything , thanks anyways

  2. 95% of this video was relaxing.
    The other 5% was frustrating.
    I wish there were only the dark scenes.
    Anyway, I agree with Sebastian.

  3. it does not relate to self and other, it is just a sample of how to create an atmosphere (which is in nature off-setting) with simple use of light.

    his piece was about generating visual disturbance and working without much visibility, the piece is for a project about violence, hence the strobe. Thanks for your comments, always interested in the flow of ideas...
