Materials should include: Cork board with pins 3 pairs of ears 2 hats 3 t-shirts Projector (n ecessary cords for projector) Once all materials are accounted for, first thing you'll want to do is to take the cork pin board and prop it up against the wall so that the pins are facing upright. Next, you'll want to find the 3 clear push pins that are stuck into the cork board. You're going to take the ears and place them on the push pins so that they are hanging. From left to right, it will be the all white pair, the shiny silver pair, and then the white pair with the purple bow. After that, look for the white hat and hang it off the right corner of the cork board, then find the blue hat and hang it off the left corner of the cork board. Finally, there will be an assortment of t-shirts (3), fold them up by putting in the sleeves of the shirts first, then folding the shirts in half, and then half again, laying them in front of the cork board.  Since the installation is m

Artist Statement | Final

Here, I wanted to focus on something that's very close to me. For those who know me well, they know that Disney World has always been close to my heart. I have grown up going to Disney since I was basically born and have been brought up loving Disney. This final project I wanted to focus on my personal experiences with Disney and how it makes me feel.  My first trip was when I wasn't even 1 years old and have been going with my family ever since. I have even done two Disney College Programs working for this company and even part time for a short time frame. Thinking about stress and stress relievers, Disney and going to their parks has always been my stress reliever, you can ask almost anyone in this classroom and they can attest to this. I really wanted to try to portray the feelings I have when I am in Disney and how it has really impacted my life. I think projecting onto my hand made ears, t-shirts, hats, and pins makes this even more personal.

I have now put my photos and videos together and am ready for set up of the project. 

Process 2 | Final

I have put together what I will be projecting onto. I decided to incorporate more than just my ears, so I took one of my pin boards and pinned the ears on there to project onto. I also might bring some tshirts and other items to lay around the board.

At this point I've gathered all the photos and videos and am working on compiling them into a video currently. 

Artist Research | Tamás Waliczky

Tamás Waliczky was born in 1953 in Budapest, he is an animation and new media artist and has been working with computers since 1983. He got his start with animation when he was only 9 years old. He usually works with his wife Anna Szepesi who acts as his artistic advisor for most of his pieces.  His work titled "Reflections", 2014, was probably my favorite piece I found on his website. He really doesn't have much on his site as to how this installation was made or done, but I find it really cool to decipher. It looks as though the silhouettes are spinning as the images change and are reflected from the images.  https://vimeo.com/185118853 Artist Statement:  "Experience of oneself is always mediated; only experience of others is direct. Just as we are unable to see our face except in a mirror, we are unable to see our inner self other than by reflection, and it is the latter that creates awareness. Contact with others also entails contact with ourselves, and

Final Project Proposal

For this final project, I want to focus on something that's very close to me. For those who know me well, they probably have an idea of where I'm going with this (if it wasn't already obvious from my sketches). Disney World has always been close to my heart. I have grown up going to Disney since I was basically born and being brought up loving Disney. This final project I want to focus on my personal experiences with Disney and how it makes me feel.  As in my sketches, I want to project onto some of my personally made mouse ears. I plan on projecting different images and videos from some of my favorite memories from being in the parks. My first trip was when I wasn't even 1 years old and have been going with my family ever since. I have even done two Disney College Programs working for this company. Morgan, Ivette, and Caroline's stress themed project really got me thinking about this. While they used dogs as the stress reliever, dogs don't relieve st
