Prototypes for Project I (Pt 2)

I'm documenting the news links I've chosen to click on as visualize the webpage headline via screenshot in a scrolling format. This will be in contrast to the "Grid" of 4 previously selected websites whose homepage I am documenting each day.

The visual documentation/prototype is here: https://spark.adobe.com/page/UigdBcVyQTPrN/

Then, I used the Apple voice reader to "read" out loud the headlines. The following two versions were created: first, in order of the visualized images, and then, as a cut-up, using words from each of the headlines.

Project 2 Proposal

Project Title: The Bennie Bucker Abstract: A study on the Bennie Bucker—a fictional character who exemplifies the signifiers of millennial success within the framework of Corporate America. The final project will be displayed visually through three physical mixed-media pieces, two videos, and one short story. Intro to Project Idea: The Bennie Bucker is a character I am interested in studying and developing through my artistic practice. Drawing inspiration from personal relationships, work experiences, and trends in contemporary culture, I will present visual and textual imagery crafted around aspects of the Bennie’s existence.  Basic facts about the Bennie: he is in the millennial age range (25-35), he is recently married and considers himself to be a family man.

His job function is to analyze customer data through targeted advertis...

Class Project I: Revised Project Proposal

Revised Proposal for Project 1 Reflection: After proposing an initial idea to create a documentary to explore the infrastructure of the broadcast media system, I immediately realized that this idea had to be changed into something more manageable for the time period allowed. To accomplish a piece that would fit the original vision will require different circumstances and resources. Instead of scaling the project back, I have decided to shift my focus onto something more manageable within the context of the due date for Project 1. I will instead propose a piece that allows me to do most of the work from the computer and in the studio, rather than heading out into the field on video shoots, and give myself a contained and immediate time period in which to focus my efforts.  Title: News Media Ecosystem Check-Up Abstract:   An observational documentary-style moving image work that seeks to keep an eye on the news media headlines, and how various outlets frame top n...

Project I: Revised Proposal 2

Title: Experiments in Visualizing the News Abstract:  A mixed-media work that seeks to provide insights and clues on the functioning of the news media in our contemporary moment, over the course of a two week period. Questions the work seeks to raise include: In our consumption of the news, how do we determine what story is most important? What outlets are directing our attention to a particular story and how are those related to the biases of the organizations and audiences? What politics is at work in determining the editorial decisions? What deserves our attention and for how long before another story takes over the top headline?  Proposal:   This project is a series of experiments related to my investigation into the news media and will take the form of mixed-media elements in three phases. In phase one, I will start by observing and recording my own news consumption habits for a two-week period. I will save and take a screenshot of every news article t...
