Digital Paper Evaluation
This paper has been very much like learning a language, at first extremely frustrating as you feel you should know things but cant work through the process quick enough. An easy way to feel like a technological idiot very quickly. As time goes by as with a language things get a little clearer and more familiar. I would have to say that over the semester I have continued to develop my skills and fluency of use. I view it like a language unless you keep using it you will loose it, so now I am in the position of having to keep using it.
Happy though as now I am beginning to use it for other uses like creating a Blog for my daughter's up and coming exchange. Check out this clip from the IT Crowd on getting familiar with all things computers.

Future computer applications
A Day Made of Glass... Made possible by Corning.
A friend shared this with me and I wish to pass it on. A great way at looking at how our lives may be in the near future with developments in digital technology. I suppose we have to either embrace it or go and hide under a rock. So many features, so many ways of interacting with each other digitally.FLOSS

Richard Prince: right or wrong
image from: http://sbenine.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/richard-prince-sued-again/
Is he right or is he wrong to use the images from Partick Cariou to reproduce new artworks. Personally I say no. He didn't have anything relevant to say short of using parody or sattire to try and denegrate a race of people. Who is he to say that he could negatively show these people in this way for his own profit. It wasn't as if he was trying to show them in a good light, improve their plight by exposing them to a greater audience. I find his arrogance appauling even after he was requested to cease and dismiss. Good on the courts for continuing to persue him.
Parody and Satire are tools which can be creative and useful, in this instance they tended to lend themselves too much to commercial and personal gain. As with all things there is a fine line drawn in the sand and at times that line can easily shift or be blurred.

William Kentridge - Eraser Drawing
I was introduced to this amazing South African artist William Kentridge who uses an erase and pencil drawings to create awesome animations. They are particularly regarding the political and social issues of his country in the 1990's but even if you aren't interested in the issues the artwork are worth the look in the first place. check out this youtube clip of his work.
During our life drawing class we attempted this drawing style. Here are a few of my eraser drawings. The idea is to work from dark to light, using black and white conte and devloping tones.
