Project 2&3

I want to combine project 2 and 3 for my kinetic sculpture. I am taking the safety class for the wood shop on Monday at 7 p.m. I will also be going home to fabricate some of it over spring break. Below is a rough sketch of what I had envisioned for the set up to look like.

A work of art is intrinsically influenced by its medium and, historically, vice versa. Digital art is no different. It also functions as a utilitarian format. Since its inception it has been considered archival and has evolved into a space of social congregation. Detail focuses on the medium as well as its perceived archival nature. The work is relatively small and forces the viewer to approach it, if not by shear curiosity. Once a viewer begins their approach the work begins to amplify its basic composition of pixels, thus making them the central focus of the work. At the same time it manages to give a notion of corruption or wear by distorting the original image. The manner in which it is displayed also questions the dependence we, as a culture, have formed to its seemingly inherent qualities.
