Montage

This week I've integrated the video and still projects under a project I'm calling Priorities. I'm still not sure how to compress my video such that the audio will work, so I have refrained from uploading any corrupt animations until this issue is resolved in class. However, the two stills are available.

First, this realistic image, entitled "Pleasant Obfuscation" seeks to contrast the disparity between what we see on a daily basis, what seeks to hold our attention (usually for monetary gain) and how these things exclude the more dire elements of life, especially poverty. We really are a culture with our heads in the sand in regard to third world life.



I call this next image "My Generation" because I think that people my age tend to have, in a macroscopic sense, an inordinate amount of selfishness and an extreme sense of entitlement. I don't mean to say that I'm not selfish at times, or that I don't ever feel entitled to things, only that, to me, this seems like a large enough cultural phenomenon to explore artistically.
