DAY 2: Jason Wilsher-Mills (draws with his mouth): How would the exhibition be different if the narrative was in first person rather than third person? How would it be different if there were no lightboxes or sculptures, and it was all just flat on the wall? How would it be different if the lightboxes had animated elements that moved? How would it be different without the wall text explaining the work? What effect did the oversized scale of the sculptures have? How would the exhibition be different if his illustration style were different? How does the artist want you to leave changed? What is "new media" about this exhibition? Why did we go here? Did you look at the sketchbooks and watch the video interview? Did he paint the sculptures himself? Who did make and paint the sculptures? In what ways is this exhibition about memory? How does an artist create art that shares her experience with an audience? {Can do it didactically (having the audience "understand") or abstractly (having the artist "experience"). What are strengths and weaknesses of each approach? ---------------- Being Human Exhibition: Difference + Repetition = Meaning Is there a "generic" human? Is there a "normal" human? Do you yourself feel like a refugee astronaut in London? What items would you pack in your astronaut backpack (whether symbolic or literal)? Were there any exhibits within this overall show that stood out to you? All of these exhibits were represented online. Which do you think would be the most different in person vs. online? Why? Was this exhibition art, science, or both? Why add art to science? Why add science to art? Which of these exhibitis were most "new media"? ================= Annka Kultys Gallery (with blurry face pictures and video of woman with mask in Myrtle Beach): How do these artists make money? How does this space make money? How did Jason (at the Wellcome Collection) make money for his exhibit? How does the Wellcome Collection make money? ----------- Signe Pierce (Mytrle Beach mask video): How would it be different if it was just straight realtime video without the glitching and slow motion parts? How would it be different if it were not looping in a gallery, but rather an online video at youtube? ====================== Hayes (3d spirit artist with whom we got to talk in the gallery): How does she make money? What was the job of the woman who let us into the show? How important is play in an artist's process? {The artist said she begins with the software rather than with sketches.} How important is it to know the conceptual back-story of this work in order to appreciate the work? What was the effect of her using the exercise equipment in her installation? There were animated disco balls in the videos. In what direction did they skew the work?
