Things so far.

By next time I'll try to make the pictures actually fit the page. :[

My Journey...an Inspiration?

In my previous post on the necessity for multimedia, I do believe that I may have found an inspiration for a central theme to my blog.  I believe that I would like to explore taking a photograph each day to see if they relate over time, or at all.  

Photography is a release for me, not always an expression of my emotions, but of my creativity.  I feel that through photography as an individual, daily task, I could capture a new expression each day I take one, or multiple pictures. 

In order to connect these photos, I may attempt to create a video towards the end of the semester that composes all of the photographs in chronological order, however as I begin this task my final wanted outcome may change.   Also, I may feel that one semester does not give enough time to find deep relations into my photography, and  I may want to continue the project until I feel that it is completed.

I will begin tomorrow, and I plan to organize these photos on a weekly basis, maybe not one per day, but whichever photographs (at least one) I take in one day that I find particularly influential or moving.

Technology and Multimedia Forms as a Necessity

Technology seems to be a term that is often thrown around in response to the world's growing obsession with 'what will come next.'  Whether it is laptop computers, cell phones, MP3 players, someone is always making the old, better.  Technology, in my opinion, is anything virtual, or that which can not be physically seen.  Any form of technology of course can be held or seen, but how the device is actually working is digitalized, is sent or 'beamed' from an unknown programmed source.  It is possible that technology is anything that needs to be or was invented off a sort of program to ensure its correct function, but in present times the word technology is so often used that it seems that everything we use is a form of technology.

Could it be the progression of making an old form "better" or more usable?

Could it be a virtual form of an object used?

In a broader sense, technology appears to be unable to be defined within my vocabulary and knowledge of the subject, and it is a term that everyone seems to have their own opinions on, so maybe the definition is just that, an opinion of whoever defined it in a dictionary, which transferred it to a term that everyone knows and alters with their own experiences.

In relation, the necessity for 'multi' medias is because no two people are the same. No one can express every one of their ideas in the exact way as another person.  Certain people feel a connection to poetry or writing, and others find an ease in expressing themselves through painting or photography.  In order to fully allow people to express themselves, get their ideas across, advance technology, there must be different media forms to enable everyone to have their say and their opinion or expression on display for others

Response 1/8 Limited Fork Theory Post

In reading the post on Limited Fork posted on 1/8, I found myself confused on how to compose an actual response. This may be because I am not yet in touch with the artistic, poetic part of my brain, or because I have not yet begun my journey to an idea of what my endless page will entail. Although the artwork and poetry within the entry of Limited Fork has creative characteristics, in its entirety, the post seemed to be out of my league as a artist/poet.

Perhaps in the future I will begin to understand the creative mind of Thylias Moss, but as of now everything still remains a mystery.

As for the progression of my creative journey, I have yet to have an epiphany to what my endless page should contain.

Through sitting in lecture and discussing the importance of text as a tool for expression, it became clear to me that as the artwork displayed on limited fork was indeed artwork, the real expression may have been in the text, which was unable to be read on the small screen, but what the author has written may have been more private thoughts, which could have explained the ideas or thoughts meant through the artwork.

Until next week-
Hillary.
