Car and House Ads

I posted the two advertisments that I created in the Johnson Center of George Mason University.

Relationship Amplifier

Max Lawrence has a device that he calls the "relationship amplifier." He bases it off the electronic principle of a Darlington Pair. Lawrence's theory says "the relationship amplifier is based on the principle that a pair of people can amplify each other's strengths, weaknesses, and in some cases, create a net result much greater - as if created out of nothing - than the product of the pair by themselves."

I'm still not positive what the "relationship amplifier" is; however, it's theory sounds like it makes sense. Sometimes people's chemistry together brings out the best in both of them and their relationship grows very strong because of that strong bond they have. Together, they are individually stronger people, rather than when they aren't together they aren't as strong of people individually.

The Yes Men

The Yes Men are a group of activists who practice "identity correction." They pretend to be spokesmen of prominent organizations and powerful people. They are also known for making fake websites that are similar to the ones they want to spoof.

What The Yes Men do is very different. It is definitely something out of the ordinary and it can be interesting to see how people react to what this group does and says.

Public Access Art TV Show Day

Ceci Moss said announced that she will be posting videos that are lively, fun and subversive. She is getting these videos from many different art-related public access TV shows from within the last 30 years. Artists are able to use public access television to experiment and allow them to respond to the conventions within the media itself.


I think this is a great idea; especially for artists. It gives things a new perspective as well as bring a new community of people together.

Again and Again

Brian Droitcour explains his concept of "the loop" through the use of this photo. He says that "the loop is the unsteady cornerstone of contemporary technology, both a basic structure of computer code and the physical shape of reels of film and tape that continue to inform conceptual understanding of digital media." He also described the metaphoric meaning of the loop.

I did not understand his explanation of the loop; however, when he started talkng about its metaphoric meaning of "time," I felt as though I had a clearer understanding of it. I do not see the correlation between this photo and his explanataion.

Dancing Machines: An Interview with Natalie Bookchin

Natalie Bookchin took video clips of different people dancing alone in their room to different types of music. She then put them all together and incorporated them into one video. Her main purpose was to see the relationship from all the different types of dance and how globalization played in with this idea. Other factors that became relevant were the way the different forms of dance were visualized and the way people perceived them.

Personally, I thought this idea was very interesting. I love dance, in any form, and feel that comparing different types from different people can be very interesting. In the photos that are shown in this picture, the three girls are all doing the same exact move but are facing a different way. They are all in their room; however, they are in very different environments due to their location, music choice, and culture. I can really relate to this piece.
