Weird Human Art

These are a few pictures of sculptures that I found. They are realistic representation of people in 3D. They're eerily realistic.

Zee Avi uploaded videos of herself singing her own song and then a year later she was discovered and flown to LA to start recording. The internet is making in easier for artist become discovered. If an arist can just capture a persons attention for more then 6 seconds and hold it, there chances of becoming discovered are remarkable. On the flip side, is this also making it harder for people becuase the pool of compotion is getting bigger? Or is it just evening the playing feild for people of every background.

Digital Coffee

This is very interesting but is it going too far in regards to food? They're is somethings special about watching the waiter create the foam art right in front of you. Yes it precise but is it adding to the elimination of human interaction?

Flash Game

This is a great little game, I think that utilizes flash. It would probably be easy to make and it made it on a very popular game site. When the Bomb Goes Off

Teeny Tiles

In class we had to create some images that would go on teeny tiles. This is a really interesting idea because its taking one of arts oldest media (ceramics) and putting it together with one of art newest medias (digital media). These are the pictures that I decided I wanted to put on the tiles.

Graffiti Tag

I wonder if this is cruelty to animals? Either way, it is an interesting concept. The tag on the slow moving snail makes the viewer look twice. A quick application of paint on a snail. Ironic.

Watts Towers (art event)

Sam or Simon Rodia might have been considered by many as crazy but in an architectural sense he was a genius. With little schooling he used useful architectural forms to create his masterpieces, Watts Towers. These towers are erected on a triangular residential lot of land that Rodia bought in Watts. He had the opportunity to buy a lot of lanf for the smae price in Beverly Hills but he wanted to be where the people where.

He talked extensively about the hierarachy of classes and the difficulties of rising. He thought that the world was going in the wrong direction. His living standards were very frugal. He was consumed with building his towers with every spare moment that he had. He would work late into the night and then, not wanting to be late for work, would jump into his red car and turn on the sirens to get there on time. He was arrested on many occasions for doing this.

Today there is a Watts Tower Art Center which conducts classes and hosts a festival every year. The festival celebrates the diversity of the area. The sculpture is not a symbot of the spirit of the area. The sculpture is comprised of nine main towers. The tallest of the towers stands 99.5 feet tall. He refused to give a meaning to his sculpture. Therefore the Watts Towers are not a monument nor are they a public statement. This amazing pieve is very appropriate for sculpture meeting architecture.

Rodia had a good sense of forms meeting forms and flowing together. He also had a good sense of color relationships. The towers look to me like a child's playground. They are imaginative, almost a way of escaping from the real world of material object. He found broken pieces and placed them together to create a magnificent sculpture for everyone. No one owns it. Maybe that's what his meaning was, even though he didn't want to give one.
