Final reflection:
I hate to admit it, but I’m still confused about this new type of art, or in general, what this “art” really is. The ones I remember include: the one where a man flips a T-shaped pipe, the one recording water flow, and the one where a woman let people do anything to her. Non of them are “pleasant” to look at, the first ones are just bizarre, random, and while the last one sure provoke some thought, it’s more like a social-psychological experiment to me, I don’t really see anything artistic in there. Same goes to my presentation, just because I somehow did a presentation didn’t mean that I understood it, and the fact that I didn’t fail that assignment is more confusing to me, not that I hate good grades, but the implication that I somehow did OK without understanding a thing really bothers me.

1. Electronic art: electronic art is art related to electricity/computer, cg, etc. With electricity, it is possible to preserve and edit art we have never done before. I think it is strange that combining music with tesla coil, or discharging electricity through glass or other stuffs are considered art, I can see little beside it’s “cool”, it has to be more than that. I always think that art is more than being cool or eye-attracting, it has to convert feelings, but it may not be the case. There’s also photoshop, it enables you to make pictures, express feelings in a whole new method. Electronic also enables art to be interactive, we can interact with objects in the image through technology.
2. Contemporary animation: contemporary is a time period, can range from 1980s to now. Animation is showing things in motion. There are different types, like stop-motion, using certain props, taking multiple pictures to make it look like it’s moving, or just combine really low frame rate and certain rendering effect; anime, focus more on the quality on the scene, with less frames. These animations, even with relative low frame rate, are still able to show fluid movements, and direct audience’s attention to the right spot.
3. Video art: it can be anything captured by the camera, consist of video and audio, started developing in the 60s. It has lots to do with technology, rejecting the old film way, and just try with whatever they can think of. That being said, there’s a lot I don’t understand, like how or why they do such things, why consider filming water flowing down a pipe as art, or cutting out the reflection of water. Also, there’s this Gary Hill guy, his video arts are quite strange, I can’t understand. His video art consist dialogues and images that are not related in anyway. There is also Burce Nauman, seriously, are artsts just strange? I can’t get their point, if there is one.
5.Performance Art: it’s a nontraditional art form with political or topical theme with a live presentation to audiences, can happen anywhere anytime. Roots in experimental art of the late 19th and 20th centuries, has no clear rules. The artists usually object the idea that art has to be an object. Marina Abramovic is the grandmother of performance art, her theme includes trust, endurance, and other stuff. She tends to put herself in danger while performing.
6. Web art: Also known as internet art, is a form of artwork distributed via internet, started in the mid 70s. Vera Frenkel, famous for String Games; Rafael Rozendaal, known for his moving images and websites. Joe Hamilton, fames for his Hyper Geography, uses a technique called image quilting.
8. Technology + Ecology +Art: create works using natural material and technology parts. Leila Nadir and Cary Peppermint investigate contemporary experiences about such art form. Linda Kronman and Andreas Zingerle

Final folklore selection
Little pony crosses the river
A mare told her pony to carry a bag of wheat to the mill, and when he did, he came to a river, not sure what to do. A cow told him that the river is very shallow, but a squirrel said that the river is deep. The pony returned to his mother, and the mare told him to think and try for himself, so he did, turns out that the river isn’t too deep for him and he made across.
Total assets needed: pictures of horses, cow/ox/bull, squirrels, background with grasslands, rivers, mills.

The three myths I chose
1. The Jade Emperor called a race of animals on his birthday to create the Chinese zodiac.
2. In Qin dynasty, Lady Mengjiang’s husband was sent to repair the Great Wall, she hasn’t heard a word from him for some time so she went to send him winter clothes, but learned that he is dead when she arrived. Mengjiang cried at the bottom of the wall, and the wall collapsed to reveal the bones of her husband.
3.(I’ll cut this one short.) A white snake spirit fell in love with a man, but a turtle spirit grow angry with her so he revealed her true identity and took the man away from her, and epic battle ensued
