SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN ΒΘΠ ΓΠ


I got in to photo editing around this time last year, when I was talking intro to computer design. I always mess around with all sorts of different things to achieve my vision in my head, but I never know how to replicate an effect I really like from one picture to another. I know I love making the colors on a photo pop like crazy. Not everyone agrees with me, but I just love it when the colors are honestly totally blinding. 

For this project, since we were expected to make more subtle alterations, I went less all out than usual. I wanted these to feel a little more natural, but still with a good pop of color.  When cutting down from close to 100 photos down to 20, I realized that a good majority of the photos I selected were taken in my house. Some photos are academically rigorous, others are actively not academic, and some have no one at all. From this I wanted to put the photos together in a way to represent a Friday, which is the day with the most apparent academic to not academic type of day.

This photo really stood out to me when editing. It's actually blurry because ranch from cheese curds fell on my camera and I didnt get it all off by the time I took the photo.  This was a happy accident though, since the dizzy effect it achieved, with the lights stretching out, really tied the photo together for me.

What is Significant?

     My name is Davíd Alejandro Ciotti Hernandez and I was born and raised in New York City. My parents have never been real artsy, but having the fortune of being my parents child, an Irish midwesterner Mom from Kenosha and my Cuban dad, while also happening to be born in and live my life in a place that happens to be a cultural epicenter of the world, meant that I had so much influence constantly being bombarded on me. I also was a part of my community theatre, because of my older sister, ever since the 1st grade.  Final Project for EDST 350. Use any medium to express anything relating to the class.      The thing is that, said "influence" being so constant from the time I was able to start processing the world, lead me to the subconscious conclusion that the art in a museum, at the movies, in the park, on broadway, or the side of the buildings has been here as long as the earth has existed - you can't just add to it. I could do my finger paints as a...

Never fall in line

Reading over the assignment, the  McLuhan quote, “march backwards into the future,” really stuck with me. It reminded me so much of my time stage managing The Show Is Over, a devised embodied dance show, which was last spring term's MainStage production.       The first section of the show was around 10 minutes of the cast crossing from off stage left to off stage right while walking backwards (then safely run forwards through the basement back to the other side to continue the cycle), while pealing off layers of clothing. These two images started to lead my mind in what kind of footage I should capture.      My friend taking off many sweaters, in my mind, always came with the meaning of a type of stripping of identity, and I wanted it over...
