Performance artist

The three performance artists I picked are Marina Abramovic, Ian Hattwick, and Lisa Park. They are all using technology to enhance their artworks. Hattwick is creating devices where the audience feels vibrations as they move around a room. Park uses a device that takes her brain activity and vibrates bowls with water. Abramovic has a performance where she creates a digital projection of herself the audience will get to interact with. They all use technology to push the limits of performance art. All of them focus their art on the viewer's active observation- they are all in motion. Nowadays most people are looking at their phones or other devices and don't really look around them, so just performing outside places isn't going to work as well as it used to. The best thing for performance art to grow is to have events like at museums, so people who will interact or watch will be there, or to go digital with there performances. Have people walk into buildings or spaces and there phone/device becomes the way to view or interact. Connecting with technology makes people connect with the performer easier and adds more creativity for the audience and performer to experience.

Final Video

The idea for this film is to show the different layers we have. On the outside were all happy and joyful (shown by dancing) the happy/good words that we say, write and read to each other. However, there is a darker side on the inside we are drowning in hate, confusion, and lost (shown by tub filling with water). The dark side appears sometimes which is why you hear some bad terms.

Grid Art

Original My version This is my first grid, which as you can tell I screwed up with the measuring because the squares are way to small. I figured this problem out when I started to paint the squares and they weren't lining up with the original artwork.

Performance Art

For my performance art, I looked at the computer screen that had a photo of the view in front of me. With my performance, I wanted to show how people nowadays rather look at the view through a screen to either only see the good of the world or see some else view. I did have some issues because my performance is just me sitting most people just walked/drove past me with no second thought. Also having someone filmed me, I think they would also think its for a film and would avoid to be nice.
