Self promotion first:

ABOUT SUMMONED SURVEILLANCE:
Through an established live video / web feed in the artists’ shared studio, Summoned Surveillance invites online viewers to remotely observe and interact in real-time with the artists through a computer web browser.

The new-genre, performance piece is meant to explore a range of issues including those related to privacy and voyeurism, intellectual property, and public and self-scrutiny. The installation investigates both the synthesis and disconnect between the actual and virtual realms, the artificial (re)presentation of reality in the electronic world, and contemporary culture’s obsession with watching reproduced realism in the media.

IDM 194 Show

Thanks to everyone who exhibited work and participated in last Friday's show. It was a great success, and I truly believe that it helped solidify faculty's plans to change the space at Cornerstone into a rotating art gallery of sorts. I scored a lot of video and I'll be posting it online in the near future. Perhaps at our youtube channel?

Exhibition: Friday, November 20 2009 5-8pm

IDMers:
As we discussed, you will be hosting an exhibition on Friday, November 20 2009 5-8pm at Cornerstone on University. For the record, this is next week!!!

What I need from you at this time if you are still electing to participate in this event:
1). Choose one of the completed projects that you would like to exhibit at the show. (I may pick for you if I really really think you should show a particular piece).
2). Bring a high-quality electronic version of this piece with you to class on Monday 11/16/2009 (I am printing these files the following Wednesday 11/18). This can be a photoshop, illustrator, sound, or video file. It should be a piece that you did for one of the afore mentioned projects.
3).I will need piece information for labels including: title, name of artist, medium.
4). We are asking that you help to hang the show on Friday -- which means you arrive at Cornerstone at 4:15pm on Friday November 20.
5). We are also asking that you help us take the show down at 8:15ish the same evening. You will mos likely be able to take your work home with you.
6) You are invited to invite. Moreover, let's make this a party. We will most likely put together mini-invitations / flyers this week to disseminate and poison the masses. Any ideas? Anyone want to make these?
7). We will have a food and beverages table. So, please feel free to bring food, etc. The more, the better. I'm starving.

Questions, concerns. challah. bread.

Follow-up .:. 11/9/2009

1). I'm very satisfied with the completed video projects. Well-developed narratives and strong aesthetic themes running through all of these.
2). I apologize for my sermon this morning, but I did feel it was necessary to have a discussion re: recent issues, deadlines, and late projects. This said, I know it may have resonated in a harsh manner, and I certainly didn't intend to negate or trivialize your hard work on this project, or your work to date.
3). Okay. So, work on your storyboards this week. Generate interesting drawings that can guide you in the photo process.
4). Feel free to start your project; take lots of low-resolution photos. Use IMovie HD to edit.
5). Stop Motion projects will be due at the end of class (10:30am) on Wednesday 11/18.
6). Questions or concerns, please email me.
