Final Video Art Piece

https://youtu.be/-VYIQNNeXGc

This is my video art piece. I had my friend film me at different places on campus, dressed in dark clothing. I also filmed static on the TV and the sink with the water running. I used Garage Band to make the static noise that are behind the clips of me standing. I was going for a more creepy vibe with this video; not entirely sure if I accomplished that but it's the thought that counts.

Raul Cuero Interview

Dr. Raul Cuero, from an early age, has used his creativity to become a successful inventor and microbiologist. Starting at the age of five years old, he found unconventional ways to keep himself entertained. His family could not afford toys or a TV, so he began observing the cockroaches in his grandmother's house. Even from this young age, he began to think outside the box, allowing him to develop his own way of thinking.

Performance Video

https://youtu.be/-h6ABOyV7hQ For this performance piece, I decided to go outside at night and "tan." I think the idea behind performance in general is to go outside your comfort zone and adapt to the uncomfortable. It might be awkward when other people are around and maybe are watching, which is what I was feeling, but after it's done you realize it wasn't too terrible and you stepped outside your comfort a little more than you thought you would. I drew inspiration from Leigh Bowery at Doffay, which includes women dressed in all body suits looking into the camera/maybe taking a nap. This is like my performance piece since I was not in typical clothing that one would wear to tan, just like how they were in abnormal clothing for sleeping. Also, technology was not a huge aspect of my performance piece or Leigh Bowery at Doffay; the only technology used for both was a camera to film, and I also included a speaker and my phone to play music. I had my friend film me for
