Final Project

The final is on an swf file so instead of making a .mov I uploaded it on a website.

Click here to see my final ^^

This is my first de-contextualizing video piece, and was a bit confusing at first. Luckily I started to gain the hang of it. I have used action script, imovie, imovie hd, final cut pro, and encorder. I mainly wanted to experiment on video editing, and I think for a first time it's pretty decent. Anyway, enjoy.

Original Music v Altered Music

Sila & Kenan Dogulu - ... Dan Sonra / After...

Lyrics:

Soldan kalktım bu sabah olamazmı

Terslendim bakkala çakkala olamaz mı

Kudurttular belki beter oldum

Hiç uyutmadı belki hayatımın sen gerçegi

Tek taraflı olurmu yani bu işler

Yüzde elli haksızlık payın

Hababam dürter

Yok rahat uyku

Mecbur kalkıp yakıcan bir sigara

Koyucan takkeyi tam ortaya

 

Kendine güvenen şöyle gelsin

Bıraksın inadı dile gelsin

Sözünden dönen namert çıksın

Bizde böyle bundan sonra

Kafayı düzelttim senden sonra

Kendime yararım bundan sonra

İster gelirim ister gelmem

Hesap mı vericez bundan sonra!

Götüne güvenen şöyle gelsin

 

Evet gözümün üstünde kaşım var

Hiç utanmıyorsun dimi?

Kavganın da adabı var

Zerre kesmez seni

Bu düz ayak sevmeler

Sende aksiyonsuz yaşanmıyor aşklar

BİR: Hayat senin hayatın

İKİ: Vahşi biraz tabiatın

Sert lugatın şiddetli tavrın

Huzur istedin ama yine bulamadın

Gül her son bir başlangıç

Güle güle, Güle güle

Kolay ilişki gelmez işine

Biliyorum seni

Kaderin ellerinde sakın üzme kendini

 

Translation:

This morning I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, Can't this happen?

 

I was irritated by some trifles, Can't this happen?

Maybe I was enraged as it gotten even worse

Maybe I wasn't deceived, you're the truth of my life

 

Can these things/feelings be one-sided

Fifty percent of unfairness

It's taunting

There's no calm sleep

You reluctantly rise and light a cigarette 

You'll put your hat for everyone to see

 

Let the one who relies on themselves come

Let them drop their stubbornness and start speaking

 

The one who'll go back on their words will be foul

It's like that between us after all

I've fixed my head after you

I'll be of use to myself after this

If you want I will come, if you want I won't

Do we have to report to each other after this

Let the one who relies on their ass come

 

Yeah, I'm asking for trouble

You're not embarrassed at all, right

There are rules in scandaling as well

A little piece won't cut you

This smooth love

Love doesn't live within you without any action

 

ONE: Life is your life

Two:  Let your nature run a bit wild

Your words are stern, your manners are severe

You wanted calmness, but you failed to find it again

Smile, every ending is a beginning

Good-Bye and Good luck

Easy relationships aren't meant for you

I know you

Your fate is in your hands, don't ever bring yourself down

Well I am suppose to mention why artists would use original music and alter it. With between the artists I think read the the translation for the lyrics would make it obvious. Now Turks and Greeks argue who originally released the song since the timelines are so close together. I am going to say Tamta was the original singer mainly because her voice syncs with music perfectly.  A bit funny how they tempo of singing is the same, including the background song, but the lyrics are giving the complete opposite effect.

AeroSmith- Sing for the Moment

Eminem - Sing for the Moment

It is very obvious why Marshall picked this song. He used it to tell his life as a child and mentioning how he slowly started to sing and become a rapper.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence

Sony Ericson Ad

Depeche Mode

This ad is kind of obvious on why they used the song. It's actually nice, kinda wish American commercials would do something similar, it would be a great improvement.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (Remade)

It has been reinterpreted by Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park). I can't really explain why it has been reinterpreted expect besides the fact if you listen to it. I am one of those people who can't explain it unless I upload the video. So here you go ^^;;

Enjoy the songs

Collaborate Piece

As the title says this work is a collaborate piece. There are 4 artists leaving their marks in this drawing and I am one of them. I will come back to edit and add the other 3 names of the artists. Kinda of funny how we worked on this and yet we don't talk much in class. lol.

Eye: To be announced
Tree: To be announced
Text: To be announced
Hand and Blood from Eye: LittleRaid

Again sorry for not remembering their names (I am horrible w/ names), this post will be updated by Monday with their name ^-^;;

Xerox Project

Sorry for taking awhile to post this. I was charging my camera and forgot to upload until now... anyway >.>

Thanks to my roommate for watching resident evil, I decided to do a horror/creepy theme. Kinda of wished we could used other materials becuase I would of used glow in the dark spray.

Edit: seems the photos i took somehow got corrupted.... I 'll take close up shots tomorrow and repost them.

Leigh Bowery

Hmm where to begin with this man... oh I know. If you ever say this man is a normal artist and never had an influence to today's society... you be shanked, castrated, and murdered by his fans of today. Well that is what fans told me to say anyway lol.

Anyway....
Leigh Bowery is probably one of the more influenced artists during the 80's and 90's. Originally he started off as fashion designer, but due to his influence to the generation he took his work to another level. His artwork is the idea of what could be fashion. Because of this the generation who were influenced by his work  were called "The New Romantics".  These people would in clubs/parties that dress up their ideal fashion which are very expressive and different for "normal" part of the population. By dressing up the way they do a person could figure out their habits, personalities, etc.

In 1988, Bowery had a week long gallery show in the Anthony d'Offay's gallery in London. He was in a lounge surrounded by two way mirrors with different types of outfits by doing different poses by starting at his own reflection. This the audiences attention because he did not try to do anything to influence the audience, but rather just enjoy his reflection and poses he was doing. This narcissistic attitude  kept getting the audience's attention as they try to understand the type of clothing he would and appear as an alien cat.

In 1994, Leigh Bowery died due to aids. Bowery kept his HIV+ a secret because during the time it just meant a death mark, and he was afraid to be labeled as an artist with aids. If people were informed it would be possible that he would be alive today.

Orlan the Experimental

Orlan is artist from France who began her artwork by suggesting the idea of artists could the art work themselves. Whether is it dressing up, masks, sculpture or even plastic surgery her body and face become her artwork. So in this case you either love her work or hate it. Either way let's continue the blog.

One of her earlier works is in an art gallery where she would wear a board/baiser that has a naked image of a woman's body. On that baiser there is a coin insert case and the point of it was put money in it and the person gets a kiss.

I find some of her work interesting, in fact I wouldn't mind trying out some of those type of work, but what caught me off guard was that she preforms plastic surgery for her art. At first thought ".... why is it always needles...?" but then I snapped out of it and actually thought about it, and it made sense. After all her art work involves her body, the artist itself. What better way to use it with all the technology around you. As much I admire her art work, I know I don't have the courage to do such thing. The part where she was awake during surgery didn't bother me, her cheek sliced opened, blood, etc didn't bother me one bit. It was the needles around her that bothered me, but then again I hate needles in general. So kudos Orlan.

Howl being obscene

Alright this made me laugh considering the FCC is still complaining about this work from 50 years ago when I see things worse in the Simpsons and south park. Anyway...

This guy named Allen Ginsberg,

 (yes that is him) written the poem known as Howl in 1956.

Now during the 1950's the Beat movement was around experimenting with drugs and alternative forms of sexuality (Remember playboy came around in the 50's). In fact they were interested in different types of religion as the east. Pretty much during the Beat movement people found expressing ways about their life from the changes of WWII to the "perfect life".

I admit it is not meant for children especially when he uses sexual references from straight or gay or with his cussing and the word "negro", but other than that I don't see the point to keep shunning it today. I could understand why it was shunned in the 50's because people are trying to go back to the old days and afraid of change, but as time went on people realized what they lived in wasn't the perfect world. Kind of funny how there are more... what is the word I am looking for... foul... nah... expressive... maybe, expressive work in books, movies, etc and yet never had to go through trail as this. In 2007, the FCC finally let it slide, but it is clear that they are try to prevent people to broadcast it or write an article about it. To bad for them people have more saying online than papers now a days.
