Finish up listening to Janine Antoni and questions. For each work Antoni discusses, listen for what materials she is using, what she did to or with them, and all the whys? Make a list of her whats and whys. Identify the sources of her ideas. How does she speak about her audience? What of their response? What does she want from them? Why does she love being an artist?

Bring lists/answers with you to class Monday, we will be discussing her work in terms of its sources of inspiration, materiality, process, interaction with viewer and why she loves being an artist.

performing visual elements (an unexpected translation of value) auditorily (nightmare or daydream). i was listening so hard to hear it in the manipulation of sound that i missed the symbolic sound execution of value.


Lecture #1 with Bill
  1. Lecture 1 (1/21) assignment and reading. Due Friday, January 28 beginning of class.
  2.  TBA in class 1/21.
And we finished with the little moody element of color in the auditory range





Hey! Wait a minute that last one wasn't sound! Now that was music! We've mixed in a vocal artist with our visuals! YES! MIXing it up is good.

Well and then their was our first day of class
student nightmare or fantasy!
