I shot all of the video footage in this reel and edited it using Final Cut Pro.
I did not create the CNN graphics; that footage aired on CNN on June 21, 2006.

ideas are not art

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

In art museums all of the visitors are on the same level; the museum owns the art, and the visitors are there to look at it. But in galleries and art fairs, everyone is not on the same level: some people are lookers and others are buyers. Lookers are there to appreciate the art. They […]

reflections of cities in cities

Friday, October 13th, 2006

I have a new project idea for my off-campus study program. A couple of weeks ago I decided that I would create a series of videos featuring a bouncy ball that I bought at MoMA. Here in London I tried to take some footage of the bouncy ball, but this proved difficult because the bouncy […]

they see me

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

They see me when I walk down the street, when I walk into a store, when I enter a tube station, when I stroll in the park… In London, CCTV surveillance cameras are everywhere. They transmit live video feeds from around the city to a few major surveillance centers where police officers and government officials […]

double-decker buses

Monday, October 9th, 2006

Double-decker buses are amazing. I rode on one for the first time today; I sat on the top in the very front row. From now on I am going to ride buses around the city instead of the tube.
I also went to Regent’s Park today and lay on the grass in the sun. It was […]

rage against the zero

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

Minimalist art has been approaching zero for too long. It is getting closer and closer to actually being nothing. If this trend continues, minimalist art soon will cease to exist.
We have made solid black paintings such as Bob Law’s Bordeaux Black Blue Black (1977). We have even written about the idea of art as nothingness […]

spoken words equal sound

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

I love the rhythm of iambic pentameter. I also like alliteration, rhymes, and how words sound when sung melodically. When I listen to music, the words become part of the song’s melody and the singer’s voice becomes another instrument.
Yesterday I saw A Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare’s Globe. I tried to listen to the meanings […]

stay awake

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

I arrived in London this morning. On the airplane I saw the most beautiful sunrise that I ever seen. The sky was a perfect gradient from black to deep blue to deep orange. My favorite part of sunrises and sunsets is the line near the horizon where the blue turns into orange. I also like […]
