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.

I first started by sketching out all the scenes with pencil on the book to figure out how long everything should be and get the images right. I then went and went over all the lines with a black marker so they can be seen more clearly. Lastly, I went through and added color

Megan George 3/3/19 History of Microphones The history of the microphone starts with German inventor Johann Philipp Reis who, in 1861, built the Reis Telephone, a device which converted sound waves into electrical impulses- however it could only relay music, not articulate speech. The telephone was later famously improved by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 with the liquid transmitter, allowing vocal cords’ vibrations to be picked up, and speech to be recorded. However, this system had poor quality. The first microphone that projected voice well was the carbon microphone, which was created by David Edward Hughes around 1877. These microphones are the prototype of today’s mics, and they are what helped develop broadcasting and recording industries. Thomas Edison remastered the microphone into the carbon-button transmitter in 1886, a more practical and efficient substitute for Bell’s liquid transmitter. This is what was used in the first radio broadcast and was used in telephones up...
