Shanken 1-15

The introduction to this book is very stylish. Lots of bright color and a very large font. It begins talking about how technology can only be encountered with impunity if you are a serious artist. I think what Edward is trying to say is that it takes an artist to see applications for technology that was intended for something else. Artist have appropriated, re-used and invented technology to bring their ideas to reality. At this point, both art and electronic technology are in symbiosis with each other.       

Master of water sports: Coppo di Marcovaldo’ “Crucifix”

Marcovaldo’ “Crucifix” is a work of art, that I have worked with before. The crucifixion of Jesus has been done so many times in religious art, that I feel it is free game to all us secularist. Whenever I see a depiction of J.C., it makes me think of all the great things he did with water. He turned water into wine for instance. He even had the ability apparently to walk on water. If he could walk on water than I figured he could surf a solid gold surfboard at Teahupoʻo.

Welcome to my blog! Here you will find nothing important. Just my required ramblings about "Art and Electronic Media" by Edward Shanken. There will also be some dribble about other things that are related to DTC477. That's it. Nothing else to see here.
