Evaluation

I like the idea of my final work, but not the space it was presented in. I was a bit limited because I didn't want to have to pay for any materials, this is why my project used a projector.
How Extravagant, making use of free and available resources like that.

I thought the digital medium was best because for me it was free, it was fast, the light made the desired shadows over the projection, and my text was all pulled from the internet. I have been looking at advertising which uses the internet, documentation of artworks i ONLY see via the internet, documentation as an issue, audience, whether or not to have an 'exhibition', formalities, public art, happenings, blogging, relational art, digital art (of course), and I am very interested in relational aesthetics and the way people interact via the internet as opposed to in 'real' life. But everyone likes the internet. Its fun. Everyone is digitally literate now theres nothing special about my medium.

Everything i have used throughout my project has been pulled from the internet or manipulated in photoshop. Anybody could make the exact same thing I did, all of the material is there and hundreds of people can be looking at it at the same time, its not unique but your experience of it is. I don't care what people get from the documentation, that is not the work. It only matters for the people that were there and saw it, and evidently it had little or no impact on them whatsoever so did I not achieve anything except to shine a light on to a projection.

I had so many ideas for this project and this was one of the few that i actually realized, I had been too scared to follow through and make anything because I thought it wouldn't be good enough and this project displays that. I think if i had made some of my other ideas a reality, then seen what I could improve on them because I can see that now with my attempt at a resolution with my typically untitled work. I can never think of titles for my works, this is obviously a problem for some people but I do not have a word or set of words in my vocabulary that suits. For me giving it a title is like when Sudhir says to 'define drawing' i just don't know where to start much less where to finish.

I don't think anybody will ever take the time to read this whole blog because it is too big and it's format allows things to be scrolled over and ignored. But anyway, i learned a lot about..... milk, meat, animals, fair trade, water conservation, carbon emissions, advertising techniques, battery farming, web design, photoshop, dairy farming, studio photography, animal rights, vector illustration, arguing, facebooking, ignorance....
