Goodbye
Finally we finish.... what have we learned about issues in visual culture?
well i dont know about you, but the more i know the more i realize how little i know.
To sum up this entire experience in a word, horrifying! i was happy in my little disillusioned bubble, now i have to see, listen and think. im now aware.
The whole point of this entire class was to open minds, eyes, interests, show otherways of doing things (i think we've done that, yeah ?)
and of course this blog has improved i guess literary skills (???) practice on simulcra (careful people)
The space we work in is an ecology rather than a system. ie. work on something and impact on other work.
Learned the horrifying reality of future creative career, i think all 80 students can safely say they fear for thier futures now. loads of prospects sure but never having a full time job, ten different jobs at once will be the norm and the rest of our careers will be like chinese plates.... well who wouldnt be looking forward to that gloomy outlook.
we learnt a bit about individual design, how all our talents are relevant in practically everything, and back to a few of the four c's, collaboration, i love animation and story boarding and illustration, yet i could end up crossing over to film, or gaming design very easily.
Its amazing how such random things could be relevant to very odd paths.
The whole point was, WE NEED TO BE DOING STUFF NOW.
not next year or when we graduate, but now!
Theres 7 year olds who are making a fortune of ideas.....not even fully developed ideas.
with open source, nothings a secret, you never know wha little idea out of the box could be truly great.
You must speculate to accumulate.
Fundamental challenges.....
-we underestimate how technology is embedded in us. everything is digital
-application of suspended economic models
-application of suspended copyright models
at the end of the tunnel you obviously want to profit from your creation. always remember if it is digital, itll be stolen
Oh fun fact, Did you know 23percent of people that download the digital copy of a book, buy the hardcopy for collectors/sentimental reasons? im one of them.
abit like a movie. if i like it, i waste my money on the hardcopy. its how the world today works.
Though digital is how we live, there is always that desire for material objects, for ownership.
So in a sense many industries like books, film, music, they arent dead, theyre just....different.
keyword glossary:
globalization, culture capital, creative industries, cultural industries, convergence, connectivity, enterpernership, innovation, enterprise.
We've learned its not enough to read or write, you need to network.
we dont have information, we have stuff.
information is the manufacturing of the 21st century.
represent yourself. that means write, be literate, understood!
you have to be able to show these skills in class, in the workplace, on the internet.
From here we should all think about other peoples work, make it our own, recreate.
after all oscar wilde said 'the greatest form of flattery is plagiarism'
its not stealing, its called taking inspiration, remember that.
communicate, collaborate, choose carefully who you collaborate with though. everyone involved should have goals, drive, targets.
Its no longer enough to just research, you have to SEARCH.
wiki obviously isnt enough, you must bury yourself in something if you truly want to learn or create.
process...
-define
-access
-understand and evaluate
- create
-communicate
development
-closed enquirer
-open enquirer
and constant constant constant REFLECTION
rather than focus in you focus out. feed the development.
I know these are alot of one liners, but im summing up the last 12 weeks, in very basic helpful terms.
issues in visual culture are? too many to answer, but we now understand the visuals and how they impact things we didnt even think they would.
And how the world is not what it seems and it needs to be taken advantage of, as this is the golden moment for the creative students.
so.... youd think now id be anylsing everything, but i wont be,i will now build an audit of my skills, constantly take a journal with me, attempt to think outside the box and i will push forward into the future, and try to exhibit myself to a point that i can make a profit at the end of this long dark tunnel before me.
To be honest the main purposes of this class were lost on me, instead i learned more about provoking artwork and tools and the digital revolution than i wouldve thought possible.
I may not be able to articulately describe my views towards both this class and my new found outlook on the digital age and society, but im very happy with this final outcome.
from here im off to work as hard as possible, to get every idea in my head, out there into the world, and hope i can build create and recreate something provoking.
ps. Keep an eye out for my illustrated version of this entire experience. taken from geek fest inspiration.

Art should provoke
Yes you read the title correctly, provoke.
Ive given many examples through out this semester/blog of provoking art such as the 25k newstand etc
Im creating this particular post to recap on the whole technology is our tool, we should use it, but on what? what is art? what do you consider art? what do you enjoy as art?
we all laugh at landscapes stuck in the 19th century, yes they are great artist but they are nothing to do with us, they are just representations at this point.
Our art work should not be landscapes, they should stimulate and provoke.
And i have been saving this one video as a perfect example since it genuinely was the first thing to scare me in a very long time.
and when i say scare i dont mean its a horror, i mean it makes you question everything,and appreciate everything at the same time.
Art is to move you.
Introducing the passing....
I couldnt fin a link, but to simplify it for you all, its short movie.
the screen split into three, three movies play at once.
to the left, the artists baby being born
in the centre a man drowning, properly drowning under water
and to the right, the artists mothers last moments and her death.
yes already strange isnt it, not add an unimaginable noise, throughout you dont know if its the mother dying or the baby being born, and a man drowning, its amazing how all those noises sounds the same, especially as you sit in a state of shock at this real life emtotional moments.
can you imagine a drowning human but not being able to do anything? a baby being born, a glorious everyday miracle, but a brutal looking one none the less, emotional overload, and then to add to this heap of emotion, a very real death bed of a beloved elderly mother.
The creationa dn passing of human life is clearly represented in this piece of art.
The overly all message was blunt.
we live.....we die..... we drown in between.
Its harsh, its blunt, its truth, which makes it even harder.
This kind of art is what i consider provoking, it provoked every sense i have in me.
anger
disgust
shock
horror
helplessness
love
wonder
sadness
can you think of anything else that can provoke you to those lengths? i certainly cant. this from now on is my basis of great art.
forget the landscapes, forget the selfies, this is art. and it provoked me.

Post modernism Ideas that have been sparked
Ive been dissucssing what the class made me think, but not what some of these made me want to do.
clearly this whol expierence has been veyr motivating to build on my self as an artist.
Certain pieces of art have made mthink outside the box more, but of course i also realise anything i do is building something someone else has already actually done.
i thought of a photo diary, (which apparently has been done to death, even in the moving image form)
a bit like the sounds, i could bring myself back to a time and remember what i seen, what they made me feel or think.
then i thought further on those photo a day things that are quite popular recently (self portrait everyday for a length of time to show the difference in time etc) and figured instead of just photo for a length of time i figured i could deconstruct to reconstruct, like hockney. i could take all those photos and create one final self portrait made up of small portraits.
I got stuck on this digital self portrait because all this self obsessed post modernism talk has made me want to create something that shows it, but whilst finding me along the way.
I could record my random thoughts, the good the bad and the boring, different situations, tones and emotions, then have them along side moving image, and slowly the wors would create my face or name, or a choosen title.
This was inspired by the whole 'sound' post i wrote. where Dr McClure recorded places and times and collaborate them in a project.
Like theoretically with the internet we have the access to exhibit ourselves to well....everyone with internet. you can go global instantly with your work.
Our generation has access to open source!

zeitgeist
I believe at this point i havent actually given Zeitgeist justice. i mean without fail its been mentioned every class, granted its not in the syllabus, it is essential to everything and anything ive spoken of.
zeitgeist after all is referring to the soul of an era.
i mean, its the feel the sound, the emotions and the general working of a specific time.
be it a hundred years ago or fifty minutes ago, the place you are in never really stays the same.
certain moments get you nostalgic right? well they are bringing you back to a zeigeist.
and im using it out of context, sorry.
So to properly describe zeigeist and my interpretations of it, i believe i will discuss well the seventies.
Cheesy yes but a good example.
The lecturer had a fairly amazing phrase to describe it, before the the 60's-70's it was grey,the zeitgeist was grey, and then BOOM, an explosion of colours, and when you think of those times, whether you were there or not, those are the associated colours, right?
zeitgiests and game changers of that time were bands such as the sex pistols and the greatful dead, thier album covers just describe the love hate and confusion of the time.
they had meaning.
infact for the seventies there is a perfect word that describes thier colourful and amazing curious but confusing zeitgeist.... psychedelic!
We discussed this many many times, and though i believed to completely understand it at the time, i get so confused when it comes to actually describing it,so guess the laws of simplicity apply here.
there is a very simple way of saying doing and describing this zeitgeist, but i lack the abilitiesand decided to go in the opposite direction, ie. the long way about and in the end never actually reach my conclusion or point.
Now our main problem was when it came to describing the zeitgeist of our own post modern class, there wasnt one. in the past decade or two, cultures and minorities merged and created individuals who all tend to have similar interests and even dress alike.
you could tell a gamer or book nerd or a jock from the way they dressed, but now we all wear basically the same fashion, we have no actual individualism.
Now i like darker things, i would be a gamer, metal head, punk rocker, im an eclectic in many areas, including music, so i would be hard to define, but so would many of this generation.
And my fashion sense, would be skinny jeans and leather jackets, suitable for my genres an likes,but lets face it, every topshop and newlook have that exact look on every manikins, leaving us all very similar in appearance regardless of taste.
Todays post modern society has merged the minorities and created well....us.
A good example i like though, is the cupcake cult.
as i said i like weird things, i like dark things, and the cupcake cult would be apart of my darker idea of fashion, yet its not the same as the ones in shoes, infact its edgier.
its zombie mixed with cute and cuddly, they are mental contradictions, that question the wearers sanity.
This my only example i could think of that makes my fashion a minority. like everyone else, very little in appearance separates us.
in the end the best to describe our culture zeitgeist as a whole, was apple. we all have the technology and thats the clean cut modern look. apple is our zeitgeist, i dont know if i should be worried or not.

Its not 9-5, its whatever it takes.
Its 2013 and and the average individual holds down many jobs at once, becaus ethats what you have to do in this econmy, whether you need the money like most of us broke students do, or you simly need to make a presence for yourself.
You need to egt out there, network and showcase your talents, and procrastination (facebook) gets you no where. simply because you need to use everything to your advantage, as a tool, facebook is a tool, but normally also a distraction. you need to constantly be thinking. like ive said before, this is issues in visual culture, and an issue is you need to be doing everything, anything, something, there is no later, the future is here and its moving past you fast.
if its an idea, great, go sell it, someone else will make it, is it something you have designed and want to mass produce, good go onto one of those sites that if enough people like it, you can go to a backer and get your design out there.
after all there is no later. there is now, and now goes pretty quick.
you have to make yourself global (remember simulcra though)
long working hours are the norm
no workplace politics, this is a new world and has very uncertain acceptable grounds
connectivity
information
innovation/enterprise
good at something? better than others? use that !
read- network
anylse - navigate
get the work out there
get your work in the correct places, key elements
write- represent
consume - produce
reproduce - create (get others to create it for you)
communication- collaboration
research - search
keep making until you find your style
these are simplified bullet points of things discussed in the lecture today that were the fundamental elements to making it in this new revolution.
Or at least the ones i managed to write down (we talk faster than i can write)
The find your own style really speaks to me though.
As i said the national curriculum would need changed as this digital industry doesnt allow for us to prosper 'in the box' meaning this whole kill the dangerous ideas thing, isnt working, it will fail, the curriculum should move with times and teach relevant information.
The creative industrys is booming but by the time the youth come to a point they have a chance to create, the creativity has been killed and it becomes difficult to get yourself out of the basics.
This is what i want to focus on, i want to get out of the box, and forget the basics, i want to create, find what im good at specifically, and exhibit myself to the extent i can make something of myself.
pop up businesses are todays money makers, unless you are already well established, this economy is not very loving towards you. get an idea? a product? now quick start, how to sell it, rent a space, not for long, make the money and move on to the next thing. This is the era of coming and goings, businesses appear and disappear over night.
At this point the future is very uncertain but its clear we have to understand and stay ontop of the technology to succeed, be prepared and not be left behind.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring
From bricks to Iphones in less than 25 years, the phone a seemingly going no where item, boomed and was instantly adopted lovingly into society, and developed faster than anything ever.
The research to develop mobile phones were pushed along by two main sectors,
The military
Pornography industry.
Motorola that created the first handheld mobile, surprising right. since they arent even in the top five leading phone brands today, however it is thanks to them development has been pushed this far and is still pushing.
The Nokia was the first, and today is the common joke fore its brick like-ness and the fact it was basically indestructible, a fact i like to think is true as ive had many phones in my lifetime, yet this was my backup, and never ever broke.
Emailing and texting became standard by mid nineties, and from there basically created a new language of its own. A language alot of the world is still unfamiliar and others only speak.
The big phones that changed the history of phones....
The Nokia pushed for smaller phones
The blackberry made emailing and word processing on phones so accessible, other phones had to catch up
then came the Iphone, touch screen. from there everything history
When you realize how fast technology has advanced in the last two decades alone, its actually quite frightening and makes you question quite alot.
Like how does it work ?
Mobile networks are global and use a portion of radio frequency spectrum. designated aa an ultra high frequency for the transmission and reception of thier signals.
This ultra high band of frequency is also shared by television, wifi and bluetooth transmissions.
Mobile devices have thier upsides and down sides like anything.
-paranoia society
We think everyone sees us, they know where we are, who we are with and if they dont, we want them to. or we ask everyone else who they are with and where.
no privacy, whether you want it or not.
-space
we are basically all everywhere
-personal relationships
with this whole constant connectedness to everything, long distance is no longer a problem with relationships, you can talk, speak screen to screen at any given time with whoever you want.
However its the short distance relationships that get the down side of phones, as they tend to be distracting and the usual problem in a relationship nowadays.
This is all amazing and kind of earth shaking, but as long as i can stay on top of this ever changing world of technology, i can easily use it to my advantage, however its alot to take in and also makes you wonder. whats next? im sure a hundred years ago nobody thought man could be on the moon. fifty years ago nobody would imagine computers basically run the world, and even a mere twenty years ago im sure nobody imagined phones would develop to the point we have more in our average phones than high tech computers had when phones were being invented.

This is all amazing and kind of earth shaking, but as long as i can stay on top of this ever changing world of technology, i can easily use it to my advantage, however its alot to take in and also makes you wonder. whats next? im sure a hundred years ago nobody thought man could be on the moon. fifty years ago nobody would imagine computers basically run the world, and even a mere twenty years ago im sure nobody imagined phones would develop to the point we have more in our average phones than high tech computers had when phones were being invented.
