Sally's New Media in Art

  T he final project I collaborated with Kepler is a soundscape, and the thesis is to make four pieces of music for each “Air” “Fire” “Earth” “Water”. The inspiration is that we were talking about constellation, and we had an idea to write different songs for different personalities. In the “Air”, we can feel the feeling of vivaciousness, so their personalities are adaptable, lively and communicative. “Fire” sounds very intense, their personalities are outgoing and adventurous. “Water” sounds a little bit melancholy, because we added minor key to it, so their personalities are emotionally rich, dedicate minded and romantic. “Earth” sounds firm, and their personalities are down-to-earth, perfectionist, and detail-oriented.   O ur division of work is that I did the part of tune for “Water”, because I like this kind of quiet music, I am a little bit good at this kind of music. Kepler did the tune for “Air” “Fire” “Earth”, and then we worked together to add some finer things to those songs

I used these two pictures for the gallery exhibition.    When I did the print work , the printer always showed an error with the paper, but I didn't find any problems with the location or operation, so much so that I spent three days to deal with it. But finally I done. I first edited the picture inside Photoshop and added a white border to the picture. I think this will look good after framing and will make viewers' eyes focus on the middle picture. When I placed the pictures in the gallery today, I did the proofreading for the first time: I measured the distance between each picture to make them look neater.   This is my second time to make an exhibition in the gallery, so I had an experience for that. I’m very happy that I can help others in this process. Also, I feel excited to join the exhibition with so many great pictures.

My project is to introduce Jean-Luc Godard, who is a film director, screenwriter, and film critic.   When I was looking for information about this director, I found out that he was one of the first people of the New Wave, so I wanted to put his "new" and McLuhan's "new" together. In the process of thinking about it, I went to see the director's first film, Breathless, and at first I didn't see anything different or new about it. But when I remembered that he made such a film in 1960, I thought it was a great film. At that time, I thought it was a very powerful innovation. It's also because the general public is now using this kind of editing technique that I didn't think his film was special, which is why it shows Jean-Luc Godard's specialness and innovation. McLuhan's <The Medium is the Massage> also shows his innovation, and his ideas were ahead of their time and new in the society. Also in the present society, we will find that m
