The article was a pretty fascinating peek into what I didn't realize (though it totally makes sense) was such a rapidly evolving artistic revolution, and liberation, that feels like an overall much more positive and truly limitlessly creative wave of work made in the wake of new technology. It of course was impossible not to compare the article to what can be made of art involving the current AI revolution, but I have to admit that I don't know of many exciting works coming f

Project 4 artist statement
My webventure "Um wher am I" is my favorite piece from this class and was easily the most fun for me to make. Inspired by the digital sludge surrealism and humor of my other projects, I let loose to create a first person based nonsensical journey from the confines of a horribly smelly hoarder car inhabited by a trigger-happy bro gnome and laced with lore and trash. You have no idea how you got there, why you are there, what is happening, and how to get out. I used this as a g

It ties into my interest in depictions of

Animation Video+ statement
https://youtu.be/79VVSp6kuIw Ok, it's true that I bit off more than I could chew with this one... there were a lot of ideas swirling around during the making of the video and it became a bit of a mess, which really stunted its progress. I went into it with the intention to make something completely confusing, visceral, and experimental. I intended for the final product to be speaking on how the internet and our consumption habits have been unhealthy, making it often difficult

I have a bit of experience editing videos, but on no platform as overcomplicated as pp. I've never animated before, and after giving it a try in the lab I can't believe and am amazed by the sheer volume of work required by serious animated content. I have a newfound respect for animators, and can honestly support moderated usage of AI to help in animation (not that I plan to or know how to) after hearing a while ago how it could help cut down some of the repetitive work that
