Hopefully this semester will be more beneficial.<br /><br />I was also pleased to use the different sorts of programs last semester. It was also the first time I used a Mac computer. That was an interesting experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890938770945494736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-64986904420539921492012-01-12T08:24:11.455-08:002012-01-12T08:24:11.455-08:00I tend to relate with your stresses and complicati...I tend to relate with your stresses and complications with the tools. I often feel very anit-technological with all the toys in todays society, but then grab my cell phone and "hypocriticise" my thoughts. I too found some of the material boring in video 1, however what I disliked even more what how everything seemed to be very dated. I realize that some of the focus was on the origins of Video Art, however it would have been nice to view some more current examples to give us some inspiration.Giancarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480416573742326398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-41088322708174507952012-01-11T07:59:47.163-08:002012-01-11T07:59:47.163-08:00I did find video 1 boring at times and some of the...I did find video 1 boring at times and some of the videos we watched were really bizarre but they're part of the history of video and they're significant to us as learning artists.Kayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284738377137418517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-26038164299135210462012-01-11T07:56:03.944-08:002012-01-11T07:56:03.944-08:00Bummer you were so disappointed with the last vid ...Bummer you were so disappointed with the last vid art class. I thought that most of the videos we watched in class were great, but I can understand how a lack of clear coherence in some of them can be frustrating. I guess as with all art, we take away from it what we can.Chris Naglikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551025058135649861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-87910122453559105052012-01-10T19:49:56.947-08:002012-01-10T19:49:56.947-08:00I find your point of view very interesting... I so...I find your point of view very interesting... I sometimes questioned why we had to watch certain videos, also. However, I came to the realization that the professor wouldn't be showing us the piece unless they felt it was necessary to our understanding and learning of the class. Most the films we watched weren't about the footage so much as the exploration of a new 'technology/medium'. That may just be how I see the class but maybe try to look at it through a different perspective and you may be surprised with the results or they may be the same. Never know. I hope you come to enjoy the class :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507929199159755860noreply@blogger.com
