the mission that motivates artists to make art
inspire faith in god
celebrate the wonders of nature.
I think we still do that in one way or another.
I cook, dance, teach, sell, perform i do these without submitting to the standards of functionality.
Imagination fantasy metaphor and symbol are not suppressed in art making but are welcome but in employment they might be (not sure if I agree with this statement).
Artists don’t have to be accurate- they can exagerrate, distort, ignore, and embellish.
Artists can disregard professional protocol. they don’t need to request permission to speak or act.
As a result functionality, accuracy can be warped without compromising artistic merit
Missions to instigate change
Artists can advocate or oppose any topic.
It can aim at self-fullfilment or generosity
Scope can involge a region or the globe
Missions can revert time, stop time,slow time, expand the moment,
artists practice without needing credentials
they can comment without peer review
they can introduce original solutions, direct future developments, revive neglected precedents.
Artist not beholden accuracy or politeness.
Artistic missions could be prolonged investigations. conscious design,it can be pursued through mindless abandonment to impulse.
mission- dedication, long term commitment, seriousness of prupose,
artist spontaneity is often predicated on the desire to release suppressed memories, meotions or mythin visions.
Why have I chosen this profession.
VIewing art guessing game or studied activity. visual clues often not enough to reveal why work was made.
Viewers assert the right to indulge in personal interpretation of the artist without worrying aout accuracy and politeness.
kant - the newminal world of abstract ideas things you can’t see feel or touch. what they sense instead of make
romantic - visionary genious - arts for arts sake - art is valuable in and of itself
doesn’t have to tell us something.
art doesn’t do anything
we’ve lost the train of thought as art having some causal significance
mission should have some aim that we want to realize
my original and still relevant mission statement
In my work I find myself returning to a nostalgic place with lament longing for an older place that never existed but is solely conjured up by desires and ideals of the perfect life, the perfect being, the perfect lie. My work as a whole continues to deal with illusions, the denial of lived experiences, and the rift man creates with his natural environment. what is my attitude towards these. Having worked in the commercial world as an Art Director and Designer for major entertainment corporations I’m aware of the strategies of commercial media masked in pop industrial code and in turn manipulate and comment on those codes as a cultural form for re-evaluating the contemporary self-contained state of art. Overlapping art and design, the slickness of advertising and signage devices are used to monopolize the viewer’s senses and distort their perception of reality between high art and pop culture.
ATTITUDE: concerned with how people are so disconnected that they are believers in finding the answers and the super you
mildly critical,
my personal position in relationship to your subjects and what you hope to communicate
get people to understand the world in a different way. what are the means that I do it.
how do you express the attitude in your art.
attitude is what causes work to express.
where do i stand in relation to this work that i do.
aitititude can be overarching or have a speicific attitude to one piece. we want to think about the broad sprectrum.
it’s about relations the dynamic relation
attitiude- critical and interested
point of view
my mission is to magnify our disconnect with nature and ourselves and need to disengage from the gadget that keeps us connected to numbing our senses. turn things on it’s head. Get people to understand the world in a different way.
choosing a mission and measuring success
use myself and others to represent a collective conscious of which I believe to be faulty.
My mission is almost always to wake people up, stir shit up, and agitate by teasing and lamenting.
Mission is to make others aware of our purpose and existence and how time is sucked out of our lives by technology.
how do I measure success. when people are engaged in my work and find empathy with the characters the situations the environment.
My idea of success is having shows or am invited to creating installations works or be a part of a collective body of work to be broadcast. I would like to measure success by not having to work as a teacher anymore and solely like Wenda Gu work on my art and be able to afford to hire others that I can manage and set up, light, dress, location scout, shoot my vision of a world of overmental stimulation.
Success is measured for me by respect, admiration, sharing, laughing, and taking the time to look and let yourself be taken by my work.
mission to success communicate something that will effect people
talk about your work that is going to benefit
ousler says larger issues that he is trying explore “models for new consciousness”
i like that he says you have to create a space for yourself where you can breathe. THis is what is lacking in our society as a whole, space to breathe to ponder, to mull over something, to get deep.
“that’s where I’m working, trying to make machines that coax the viewer into engaging with the transformation.”
the danger of the projected image.
“sure I search the media for evidence of the eveolving collective unconscious. it’s like going to an electronic prison. It’s not a pleasant job”.
how the audience is affeced y a round the clock stream of electromagnetic waves bearing sex and violence.
create empathy time we spend on something
severed heads and people making noisees and pain.
in my thinking I think of how we look to computers, the internet, google, wikipedia, blogs for the answers. how we search and become voyeurs instead of makers doers. how we are consumed with consuming visual data. How we are happy living in the virtual and not confronting one another and our natural surroundings more.
my mission - looking at things from a different perspective. while everyone sleeps. what we take for granted.
corporate - mission to make your life better. not very sincere.
general mission if your missio is too broad not much to hod onto not much to drive your work
to create work that amplifies these issues of isolation to reach people who question how our comfort is slowly degrading our true being and making us a collective of mind numbing moving blobs.
using the internet to free me from traditional distribution methods so as to reach a larger audience.
using the internet to amplify my personas through chicanery and truth.
my mission is to show people how to plant garlic and watch me perform doing that because then you will want to do it too.
life as art. no computers involved. the beauty of art.
artist as guinea pig. use yourself as a way to engage in an issue. student who created a meth lab. as mfa tinal project.
my mission as an artist is fullfill the human desire for perfection not by taking on avatars but by existing in the world by experimenting, immersing yourself without the constraints that the media and technology can impose on you by means of distraction and mind numbing stimulation. My concerns lie in the super you syndrome or the overreaching of one’s self due to the mass amounts of infomration we are receiving while sitting back and not participating fully completely in the world. The art of living immersion and the difference between illusion and reality. At the same time I’m looking for a form of expression that moves beyond what is considered normal appropriate behavior conforming.
my creative response to the mission statement. show the joy of growing food, communing with nature, eating healthy, being physical, having your hands in the soil, being able to teach others on how to do good things for themselves and for the earth. become who you look up to. engage completely. be the change you seek.
write one sentence with one clause only and then write a paragraph long that further explains.
technology, non technology, super you, death. key four or five words. time
think about community of like minded people, community of others
I just think i have the answers
