Time Based Art

  Time Based Art can be film , video or photographs , and it can be described as an artist who crosses the boundaries. Time based art also requires a view

er to spend a certain amount of time interacting with it to be able to gain its full pote

ntial. Andy Goldsworthy is both a land artist as his art appears on the land but also a time based as his work has an expiration date. Here is an example of his work.

Time based art is a new term however it is not a new thing Eadwerad Muybrige was using this in the eighties taking a series of several shots of animals and humans whilst in action.

I found the work of Tony Oursler very relevant to our doll project as he projects images of faces on to dolls. I found this very interesting which made me consider using a photograph of a face for the faces on my dolls.

Guerrilla Art

Guerrilla Art is also known as street art has links with political art and activist art. However most artists who practice the Guerrilla Art remain anonymous as more often than not their practises are illegal.

The Guerrilla Girls are a group of radical feminist artists established in New York City in 1985 , known for using creative posters to promote women and people of colour in the arts. Their first work was putting up posters on the streets of New york decrying the gender and racial imbalance of artists represented in

 galleries and museum.

Here is the work of Banksy ( which is his nickname) who is another artist famous for Guerrilla Art.

Wearable Technology

Pac-Lan is a mixed reality game which uses Radio frequency identification technology , and mobile phones. It is like the old school version of Pac-man however it is a modern version with someone running around whilst someone attempts to catch them whilst playing on the internet.

I did not find this lecture very relevant to the course however I found it very interesting.
