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...

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...

Mine and Eric's project is rightfully titled "First World Problems". While our original project idea was much, much different than what the end product shows, we ran into some "first world problems" and had to readjust our plans and come up with something new.  We are wasteful humans at times and we take many things for granted here, including food. Plenty of food is something that we are privileged to have on a regular basis, yet we continue to take this for granted on many accounts. "First World Problems" is to show that being wasteful and taking things for granted, is indeed a problem we have. While being wasteful ourselves for this project, wasting cereal and milk and water... we have then brought in the extra cereal for everyone to eat and to NOT be wasteful of the leftovers. 

Finally, we re-filmed our project to fit our new theme and got it edited and ready to go into MapMapper for critique on Friday. We're going to bring the same exact table that we filmed on into class to project on so that the patterns match up and looks the best it can. 

We were made aware that we are NOT allowed to hang a projector, so that really threw a wrench in our plans on what we were going to do exactly. We decided to take your advice into what to do for our project instead. We ended up choosing a theme on being wasteful with food instead and to show us essentially wasting our food. 

Eric and I came up with a definite game plan of what we plan on doing. We cooked some food, got some good audio, and have a good meal prepared for our dinner table.
