Yoko Ono






















This image describe about the age and race. For example "It was also a piece that touched on issues of gender and sexism as well as the greater, universal affliction of human suffering and loneliness. Ono performed this piece again in London and other venues, garnering drastically different attention depending on the audience. In Japan, the audience was shy and cautious. In London, the audience participators became zealous to get a piece of her clothing and became violent to the point where she had to be protected by security". It mean that she was a great human being.
"The Chambers Street series hosted some of Ono's earliest conceptual artwork including Painting to Be Stepped On, which was a scrap of canvas on the floor that became a completed artwork upon the accrual of footprints. Participants faced a moral dilemma presented by Ono that a work of art no longer needed to be mounted on a wall, inaccessible, but an irregular piece of canvas as low and dirty as to have to be completed by being stepped on". It describe human style live in the world.

Allan Kaprow














This image describe human being style live. For example "Assemblage,Environments, and Happenings (1966) presented the work of like-minded artists through both photographs and critical essays, and is a standard text in the field of performance art. Kaprow's Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life (1993), a collection of pieces written over four decades, has made his theories about the practice of art in the present day available to a new generation of artists and critics."
It describe about young teen and child. There are looking at the car design. For example "a term coined by Allan Kaprow in the late 1950s, define an art form in which an action is extracted from the environment, replacing the traditional art object with a performative gesture rooted in the movements of everyday life. Thanks to a generous grant from the Getty Foundation, MOCA has invited Los Angeles-area art schools, academic institutions, arts organizations, museums, and artist-run spaces to reinvent a diverse selection of Kaprow’s Happenings.". It describe the car like a human being driving.

Burning Man

Burning Man.jpg (690×460)


This image describe live style of a human being. For example "Meanwhile, the beach burn was interrupted by the park police for not having a permit. After striking a deal to raise the Man but not to burn it, event organizers disassembled the effigy and returned it to the vacant lot where it had been built. Shortly thereafter, the legs and torso of the Man were chain-sawed and the pieces removed when the lot was unexpectedly leased as a parking lot". It mean that the Burning man will be a great understand of a human being.

For example "Thus the seed of Black Rock City was germinated, organized by Law and Mikel, based on Evans' idea, along with Harvey and James' symbolic man. The community grew by word of mouth alone. It consisted of participants only. There were no paid or scheduled performers or artists, no separation between art-space and living-space, no rules other than "Don't interfere with anyone else's immediate experience" and "no guns in central camp". It describe human being feeling because of the Burning Man.

Museum

This image was the most interesting to me because of the design and look.  It was interesting to see different can of art and design like this at picture.

This image describe like a called hole."Using the principles of a skeletal-muscular system powered by compressed air, MacMurtrie’s objects oscillate, creating the illusion of living objects. MacMurtrie’s work dynamically responds to the movements of its viewers to create a menagerie of moving forms.Chico MacMurtrie acts as the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works (ARW), a collective he founded in 1991, consisting of artists and engineers who help in the realization of his work. Since that time, his investigations have resulted in the creation of more than 250 mechanical sculptures that assume anthropomorphic and abstract forms."

P1010153.JPG (1600×1200)

This image describe like a birds bonds."During the past twenty years MacMurtrie’s kinetic, monumental sculptural installations have evolved from different representations of the human body and various forms of nature into his current, more abstract works such asInner Space, which is having its United States premiere in this exhibition. In his sculpture, MacMurtrie utilizes various technologies to create the illusion of a live object or living being: using computational mechanisms to achieve a very subtle level of control and movement. Expanding and contracting in various configurations, the sculptures developed for this exhibition are controlled by computational methods."P1010148.JPG (1600×1200)

Artist #12 Scott Blake

ScottBlake_Jesus_far.jpg (400×396)

This image describe about human life number when they gave you our born. For example "My bar code portraits explore the process of making art with technology. As a computer artist, I am in the business of selling pixels. The bar code represents technology, efficiency, and commodities. It is the universal icon for the computer revolution.Two artists that have influenced my work are Chuck Close and Roy Lichtenstein. Chuck Close's process of building a painting one block at a time encouraged me to work on my designer pixels. Roy Lichtenstein's examination of Benday dots opened my eyes to the science of half- tone printing."It describe about human life style. "But unlike Pop Art, he used barcodes as a tool and image, such as his portraits which were made entirely from bar codes. Blake had started this project around the time of the Y2K bug craze and the turn of the millennium. Around this time, there was a craze with barcode style artworks and designs. It is unclear whether Scott Blake had direct input on this popularized phenomena."

Tony Oursler

ours4.jpg (331×385)

This image describe about scary idea. For example "With a multi-century tradition consciously referred to, Oursler's is a puppet theatre of some sort - having more to do, indeed, with a frame of mind and emotion than a narrative. In my use of narrative techniques, says the artist, I always wanted to get my spectator entrapped, build up a certain structure with which one could play, and build on. However, as is the case with my 'actors', also my narrative does incessantly get destroyed. The longer I study narrative structures, the stronger is my conviction that no such thing exists. Whatever we could name a 'narrative' is, essentially, no structure, rather a mental or physical disposition of theviewer/reader."

Artist John Whitney #10

swirly.jpg (215×220)

This describe the truth an image of human being."The 80's would see an expansion of Whitney's exploration of digital harmony. By now he was composing his own music, searching for, as he writes, "a special relationship between musical and visual design." (Whitney, 1991). Whitney was defining a new kind of composer: One with the ability to conceive ideas both musically and visually. "Whether quick or slow, action, as well as harmony, determines much of the shape of my own audio-visual work today. Action itself has an impact on emotions. Fluid, orderly action generates or resolves tensions much in the manner that orderly sequences of resonant tonal harmony have an impact on emotion and feeling..." (Whitney, 1991). The late 1980's would see numerous John Whitney works, combinations of original music and visuals. From Spirals in 1988, to Moondrum, a Native-American influenced series of works completed in the span of 1989-1995, Whitney was now using a special composing program developed in association with programmer Jerry Reed called the RDTD that enabled the artist to create "musical design intertwined with color design tone-for-tone, played against action-for-action" (Whitney, 1996).
