HW 13 Feed B

Art is in the eye of the beholder. It is meant to convey a message and what is so wonderful is that the message you get out of it could be different from the message someone else gets out of it. In Pablo Picasso's Scream (http://www.your3dsource.com/images/expressionism.jpeg) the message can be different depending on what you look at. If you look at the color you see fear and anger. If you look at his face you can see anguish or dispare. The mix of colors give you different emotions. Red is anger and blue is sadness. You see a man in the background who could be looking for the screaming person or just a person in a background. You don't know if the screamer is a man or a woman and there is no real emphasis on the face. That is left for you to understand.
Feed is a work of art. It conveys a message to the reader and to each person this message could be different but have the same overall message. One person may say their feeds are destroying their lives and shutting them out from reality. Others may say that is was advancing their society and improving communication. But it makes you think about things like that and that is what makes it a work of art.

In class today we talked about enlightenment. You said that you were more enlightened then us because you were less ignorant because you admit you are ignorant, and because you aren't as dumb as us. I want my project to represent enlightenment through technology because enlightenment isn't something you go out to achieve. It is something that dawns upon you just as a greater truth would. So i want my project to represent totally technological nirvana which may be bliss to us and hell to you. But if i am enlightened because of it then that is what i set out to achieve and then i am happy and satisfied with my work. That is all, thank you
