Been workin In the Cary collection here at RIT and I've based my video on the work I've been doing there. First time working with video and I can spend so much more time editing and learning but this is what I have so far. I'd like to continue working on it still.

Process of Broken Art


I have been making Broken Art series in this semester.
You might remember what the word is inside of the canvases.
I am making artwork by breaking my artwork.
At the same time, I am referencing previous artwork directly or indirectly.
Some works of art focuses on art historical background, and others provide strange semiotic experiences. These pictures are Love pieces. At the final critique you may see other three pieces.

I want to share one shocking artist, Wim Delvoye.
He is Dutch, and now became very famous.
Here is the video about his most famous artwork Cloaca.
Cloaca is the machine that creates excrement from foods.
Have fun and please eat something before watching this.

Gianluigi Toccafondo

I've been looking at work by Gianluigi Toccafondo, an artist who paints directly on top of film sequences. You might have seen his work during the Robin Hood end titles:


It relates to what I'm working on right now, although his work is looser. I'm thinking of making the end of the animation I'm working on looser and messier as it progresses, sort of like this.

Roman Signer



Signer is a swedish "action sculptor." His sculptures undergo some action or process which has aesthetic appeal. In this way the work skirts between being sculpture, and being performance.

The work is often playful. Also, explosions!

Not Related to My Work, But Still Cool

So I saw this video when the guy posted it a year ago, and thought it was awesome, but then I showed it to someone recently, and thought maybe you guys might enjoy it.

The video's related to painting, but I won't say much more, so you should just watch it. It's only ~3 minutes long.

lost abstract video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1tZfky-LLU


this is something I made in the backseat of a car driving through somewhere around pittsburgh. we were lost, and I think that's the only context that's important. but I'm unsure about where I want this to go, and what if any sound is used.

so please watch and comment anything!! I would like to hear any ideas or feelings ya'll have about being lost, struggling, and what you think so far.

I found a video and image that inspired and reminded me of my work.


The movement in the link below inspired me for my cubist painting/video.  This video below is an abstract animation in black and white.




Another image I found that reminds me of my cubist painting is by Chidi Okoye a Nigerian sculptor, painter and poet.
