Performance Art Video

This is the performance art video made for class.

Weird Music Videos

There are some really extreme videos out there but there are some that are stupid and weird. examples of this would be Major Lazor - Bubble Butt, where it is a bunch of woman shaking there butts. There are others like miley cyrus - wrecking ball where she is riding a wrecking ball and licking a sludge hammer.

3 Performance Artists

Robin Williams

Yes Robin Williams is an actor but in some of his movies he plays as someone completely different taking on a whole new persona like in Mrs. Doubtfire. Here he dresses up as a elderly woman and has to change is voice and persona to fool everyone even his own children.

The Blue Man Group

Dress up in nothing but blue where you cant see anything and they entertain a crowd up people with music or actions.

Globetrotters

These are a bunch of basketball players that perform a show of tricks and skills and make it funny against another team.

Performance Art

Flip Books

Flip books are one of the most annoying things to be done by hand yet it can also allow you to understand the fundamentals of how to see things and what to expect next. There are those who can make full action art, but I am not that great but even putting circles down upon circles for 200 pages worth can be taxing yet when done can be satisfying.

Drone Racing

Today with the rise in technology, we have taken a liking and joy to new form of sports. Sports now a days don't have to be physical instead it only has to be competitive and one sport that has been rising in interest is the Drone Races where people would build there own drones and race them on a track but whats amazing about this track is that it not only has turns but it is also vertical putting a new style of racing compared to anything else. Whats also great is that the viewer wheres a headset that allows them to see there drone and where it goes making them feel as if they are the ones flying.

Virtual World

Technology has come a long way because it has brought the fake and made up to reality. They are using a headset that allows you to see virtual apps within your house such as a calendar, weather app, or even a virtual dog. Just like a computer or even a phone where you can edit your apps and download new ones the same can be done with this headset and what great is it puts it in a 4D view and interactive.

3D modeling

3D printing cant take place unless someone creates the model within a program. There are several programs that can be used such as Maya, Hammer, Rhino, and many others where you can take shapes and geometry and form it into a figure. Later you can transport that model out to a printer to have it printed out or you can go further with it and texture and rig it then put it in motion which later can be used in movies or games.

Late Nights of School

Most who don't want to school won't understand that going to school is just as hard if not worst than actually going to work from 8 to 4 because not only do you have to go too class for several hours you are up late at night completing homework. There has been several nights or about 70% of the time that I would be up till 3 or 4 in the morning and have class at 7 with an hour drive to campus. What is upsetting is that once we are done with school we are put in this mind set to stay up so early in the morning and get no sleep which hurts us in the long run.

3D Modeling for the Blind

There are some doctors out there that are helping the blind by printing out 3D models so that they can touch and see with there hands. Examples of this would be a blind soon to be mother visiting her doctor for an ultrasound but since she is blind she can only take her doctors word and descriptions of what the baby looks like, however the doctor took the picture and sent it out to have it 3D printed so when she came back for another ultrasound she then could see her child by touching it.

Opera into a Game

A game design I came up with was based off the Lion King opera, where it shared the basic story line of the Lion King but you play as Simba and go along his story. The game would be an old style 2D version where you can jump around, collect bugs for points and after a few stages you will face a boss. Once you beat the boss or stage you are timed and then scored based on the time and points collected and depending on how you did you can be put on the scoreboard.

Computer Coding

Coding whether it would be with HTML, java, or css it all has something in common and that would be formulas. When you code it only takes one misplaced letter, period, or screw up to have the code not work. When you do code and it works out the sky is the limit because it can do wondrous things. Computers, phones, games, movies all have a form of code, even some would say we are coded in a certain way. Coding is time consuming but if you love math and formulas and love creating wonderful things then you should try it out.

Stencil

In creating a stencil you have to come at it with an idea and yet figure it if you want it to be inverted or a regular stencil. What is meant by this is are you wanting to paint the lines or do you want to paint in the body and leave the lines out. Once you figure that you need to figure out how to layout the pieces so that it makes the figure but once its cut out still stays together in one piece. My piece of work was Master Chief to represent the human war evolution and what we could become later in years.

A10

The A-10 or known as the Thunderbird is an aircraft used within the United States Air Force where it provides strafe runs of 30mm rounds at 2100 rpm.  Unfortunately the government is talking about decommissioning these strong and needed aircraft. They are mentioning that the costs of the aircraft and maintenance of the aircraft is becoming to much and that they need to shut it down but in reality this aircraft alone has saved thousands of lives because of its heavy arsenal and its intense speed.

NASA

We had an interview with a man from NASA getting a wide amount of information in regards of virtual reality. We were demonstrated the theory that taking a Xbox Kinect and using its properties of registering a human figure and putting it withing a virtual reality scene allowing a person wearing a Oculus Rift to take control. Other demonstrations were with robots and using Bluetooth signals to tell them what to do and how to move.
