after todays class i am excited to hear that we will begin our art project soon. the digital media examples given today like the diesel adds are the coolest thing i have seen in a while. i saw the picture of the parrots in some square in england in a magazine somewhere and i really thought it was clever. i didn't realize there are a whole line of commercials like that. however silly it may be.. i think they aren't meant to be taken too seriously... though they are fantastic examples of what we are trying to do in our class. as for today, everyone is coming up with such original ideas. the most striking idea was the one about using a vacant lot to illustrate exactly what it would look like post-tsunami. it would be funny as well if we were to post over the signs on the hotels being built saying demolition instead. we could fake disassemble the city because it is in a risky spot. i thinks it is a bit out of place to get so heated about people who live in dangerous place. my bet is that the cities were built in those places far before the settlers could realize they would even become cities, and before they had the knowledge perhaps to recognize a dangerous zone. oh well, i am a bit bummed i missed the video so i will have to borrow it and watch it soon. hope you all have a great weekend.
