Bizarre, new places.

So last week, had me researching Mark Napier, a rather interesting digital media artist and scratching my head at just how unique and creative some the processes he developed for his pieces, really is. I mean, these are truly one off ideas. They literally take programs and code, and completely either destroy and rebuild them, or skew them far beyond where they began. This kind of work really pushes the boundaries of what art really is. Even the concept of a programmer being considered an artist, is really breaking new ground. I'm excited to get further into the work this guy created. I'd like to believe that when i leave this class I'm going to have an entirely new and fresh view on modern Art. And maybe walk away with something new for myself to work with.
Also, my next blog will have me creating an Avatar in the epic World of Warcraft. I have never really done anything like this before, but I'm totally intrigued by all this. I mean this place literally destroys real lives on the other side of the screen. I think that at least, is worth a blog. Or at least worth some comprehension on my part. so that's that. Bizarre, new places.
