End of Week 2!

Welcome to the end of week 2! In today's sections, we will be working on Assignment 1:

• Part 1: Take a series of photos from your daily routine. DO NOT show images of yourself…just what you do. Create animation (Photoshop, iMovie). 
• Part 2: Using the materials from the video of your day re-edit them so that the narrative becomes non-linear. 

The theme for this assignment is open! I want all of you to consider rituals you may perform in your daily life or methods of changing your mood and what they are. (You may also be interested in the meaning of a dérive and the situationists). The assignment does not have to be an entire day, but can be one small part.

To submit your assignment, you must post either the video or a link to the video in your blog. The limit size for files on your blog is 100MB, so you will likely have to upload a video to YouTube (or another platform). You can follow a tutorial here to upload video. You can choose whether you want your video to be public or unlisted but if the video is private, I won't be able to see it.

The assignment should be posted to your blog by this Tuesday (4/17) by 9AM.

Next week's readings and reading presenters are:

• Busting the Tube; A Brief History of Video Art.pdf
• Presenter: Aiden Durkin 
• Rise of The Video Game Zinesters: Chpt 2: The History of Magic
• Presenter: Lisa Ho 

Reading presenters should prepare a short description of the text for class and ask at least 1-2 questions or make observations for their peers that are related to the reading. These questions can be something that interested you in the text, parts you did not quite understand, or ideas that you were inspired by. All students are still responsible for posting reading responses to their personal blog.

The response should be posted to your blog by this Tuesday (4/17) by 9AM.
