Google Earth

My intention for the Google Earth project was to show the devastating place they were in at that time.

My inspiration was TIME magazine and the pictures they would show from thier amazing photojournalist.

Through these images, I hope to convey that we have it pretty good here, and we need to reach out to those in need. Don't sweat the small stuff.

 Below is the song that I used. "Uprising" by Muse

This is one video I found fascinating.





I love that you can actually seen the process of them making an image for google earth.
How incredible that they have the technology for people to see what they might never have been able to before.

SolLewitt Sentence

Hello world!

This is my first blog, ever!  Here is the sentence that I have chosen.....

13.    A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist's mind to the viewer's. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist's mind.

I like this sentence because, I believe that art will never come to fruition what is in our minds. I believe that our ideas and thoughts are so complex, that to make them physical is impossible.  However, in saying that, our bodies are able to create a different form of that idea, and it turn, can make it greater then the original thought.

I also believe that people who are more in tune with themselves, who exude self reflection are able to express themselves more at a greater level then those who can not; are able to accurately make physical their ideas. 

These physical creations, these interpretations of ideas and thoughts, may be too simplified or too complex for a viewer to understand.  It may, however, reach them at a different level, bringing new perceptions.

So, in which you can say, 'Does a tree make a sound, when no one is around?' Is art, art,  if it stops with a single thought?
