Homework 10: RE: “Software Takes Command”
After reading a section of the essay “Software Takes Command” I had realized some things that I before was not aware of. The author of this article makes the point that moving pictures pulls from many, if not all, aspects of art. (Graphic Design, Photography, Animation, etc.) In a sense, combining these different aspects helps to create a new visual aesthetic. The ability to create moving pictures allowed artists to push the boundaries to creating a new visual aesthetic, and see the impacts of their changes as soon as they are made. Adding motion to anything can completely change the dynamic, and when it was introduced people were very fascinated by it because it was something brand new to them.
Before reading this and beginning to work in Adobe After Effects, it had honestly never occurred to me that graphic design can be extended to moving type and pictures. And I am now asking myself what I had not thought of it sooner? I understood that moving pictures was a breakthrough in technology and it came as a result of people looking for a new visual aesthetic. Artists were then enabled to create different juxtapositions that may completely change the meaning of a picture that could originally be still. For example, with my current ongoing project, I am going to incorporate a pool table into it. However, with the effect of motion and sound enhancing the piece all together, can the viewer forget they are supposed to focus on just a pool table and focus on the whole forest rather than one tree? Or was it even supposed to be about a pool table in the first place? It is something I am going to have to explore.

Homework 7: Sound Art Exercise Title: Rapture Performed by Camille Norment and David Toop Year: 2015 This is an example of sound art that I found to be incredibly interesting! The artist, Camille Norment, is working on a bigger project known as Rapture which is a much bigger studio that is constantly making sound with this one glass instrument she is using. It is unique in that the instrument itself does not normally make all of the sound, however the vibrations that it gives off can easily make other glass objects vibrate as well and give off sound. It is an almost never ending series of chain reactions. It kind of makes me wonder if a sound can ever be infinite. I also really enjoy it when artists convey glass into their pieces. And I like how this artist did not resort to only breaking it to find some purpose for it. -Julian

Re: “Remix” by Lawrence Lessig
After reading an article titled “Remix” by Lawrence Lessig, I felt rather taken back by some of the views the author had. It shocks me that some people have the mind to call today’s generation criminals for performing actions that are a result of the evolution of communication. The author makes a valid point with of how we learn is through writing and other forms of communication.Therefor it does not feel right to label people who use other ideas criminals. I would agree with the author in the sense that that world is full of ideas, and a lot of ideas while still inspired by others can be considered original. As I have defined before, appropriation can be okay when there is a significant enough change.
My view on appropriation after reading this article has barely been shaken at all. I feel that going after those who transform ideas and remix things to create their own work is exactly the opposite of what copyright infringement is about. Copyright refers to when another is stealing an idea or calling an already existing idea their own. If I take someone’s photo of a cat and then turn the cat into an almost completely new animal through means of photoshop, is it now my work or still the original owners? While it is in good taste to always credit the original owners of images, it is not always necessary. We live in a world now where inspiration can commonly come from idea sharing, just simple “Hey what if I made something like that but added my own spin to it?” The world could stand to lighten up a bit on the younger generation of artists and content creators and understand that already existing works will continue to fuel the production of new works and so on.

Assignment 3: Digital Foundations Article Response
Appropriation can be defined as when an artist or content creator takes an already existing work made by someone else and redefines the original meaning of the work through means of modifying the original work. In today’s world, this can occur multiple times everyday with the vast access to images and media most people have at just a search away.
Appropriation goes very hand in hand with copyright law as well. The first amendment gives all citizens the right to freedom of speech without any risk of recourse. However, content creators today must be careful to jump through all of the hoops of copyright law when putting a new work out into the world. Copyright law protects original works from being copied or someone else than the original owner profiting on it. Appropriation can be okay when the original work has been modified enough to stand far enough apart from the original, however it is always best to still credit the original owner of an idea or concept. For example, appropriation allows fans of a popular television show to make ‘fan-art’ or artwork representing the show in their own views without the chance of action being taken against them. An individual can even post their thoughts about another individual and have it be considered as fair use. For example, in 2014, Jonathan Autrey posted two videos calling out statements made by Christian Ergun Caner false, Caner attempted to go after Autrey saying he had no right to mention him without his permission. The courts later ruled that Autrey’s own thoughts on Caner could be considered fair use. (Top 10 Fair Use Cases 2014)��If the original meaning has been changed enough in a new version of the work and the original was licensed to be allowed for reuse, it is okay.
Some exceptions to when appropriation isn’t okay is when the original work’s meaning was not changed enough. For example, simply adding a tie to licensed picture of a caveman would most likely not be deemed as a significant enough change. Also when an original work is reposted with little to no changes and the content creator does not give credit to the original artist and is even profiting off of it, appropriation shouldn’t be okay there.
