Hi all

Hope you had a good week, reminder that assignment 2 is due next week.
I look forward to your work

Thank you
c

nb: please read "stupidity" for next week, its short and digestible.
(I am still missing some of the zizek papers)

A day in the life of a superhero.

Here are some pictures of the basic idea of my project.

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.

Tomorrow & next week: what's due

hello all,

quick note: i can't meet tomorrow but I am happy to stay later next week (wednesday) or set up a time friday next week (oct 23rd)

for next wednesday (oct 21st) please bring in the following, as discussed last class:

- assignment 2:
- a question that addresses what your piece inquires upon, in relation to self / other / fiction / subjectivity (use your words as aesthetic / conceptual paradigms)
- ideas (rough shots) that examine your above mentioned question
- and a short text that delineates or expands upon the question.

- use assignment 1 as a point of departure, reflect upon it, as all pieces relate to one an-other.
ask yourself: what did i want to communicate in an 'autobiography'? what is my position/ relation to a dialogue about the self and how did i communicate that in assignment 1? how can that be improved? how does that position now integrate the 'other' / fiction etc

I am happy to review assignment 1 again to continue refining, so bring these in as well
(but manage your time, as this piece should not replace our discussion for assignment 2)

- the zizek readings: please mark points of interest for discussion
- we will do individual crits

questions welcome
i will post some sample work here in the next days that may serve as inspiration / exploration

thank you
have a lovely evening
