Homework #15/ Final

Working on my final project was quite challenging, because I was challenged artistically. My dice play result was computer, community, and performance, and I used New Hive (www.newhive.com), which is a multimedia publishing platform for web artists and interactive designers. I want to become a part of this community, so I tried different ways to curate my artistic identity in this media. I feel that it is really important to be aware of current trends and not be behind although my primary medium is traditional painting. Should I learn to code? I am not sure. Do I need to? I feel that I need to at this moment, but some people say that there will be no need to code in the future because there will be others who can code for the rest of us. Am I missing out a whole new language that has already taken over the world a long time ago? Am I that behind? To answer these questions, I created several pages on this platform to participate and perform my artistic identity that may also live online.

I've written about my new discovery as artist a few blog posts ago, and my final project is an extension of that artistic identity. My final project is a beginning of my new artistic discovery. Working on it opened me to thinking about so much possibilities for developing my palette as an artist. Specifically, my final project was about going off on a journey through paintings in the history using Erik Satie's music as a background. The time traveler travels through music as well. The three gymnopédies are followed by seven gnossiennes. As a time traveler, the viewer gets to travel through a series of visual remixes that accompany the journey. I need to push this project though. I need to learn to code if I were to do that. However, I can also push in different ways. I will need more time to sketch out ideas.
