Intriguing Concepts from John Ippolito
One idea that Ippolito brings up in his lecture that I find particularly interesting is when he talks about licensing with Creative Commons. As an avid “YouTuber”, I find this organization to benefit me, as well as others who post information and art on the Internet. In much of my work on YouTube, I use copyrighted work,…
Kilma/shulgin
John Kilma is an early new media artist that was a programmer and web designer by day, and used these tools of trade to create his artwork. His Ecosystem, created in the year 2000 was a program that reflected the world’s volality currency. His work reminds me of the Hunger…
Lawrence Malstaf
Lawrence Malstaf is an installation artist that creates theatrical pieces from advanced technologies. His work centers around the relationship between order and chaos. I find his installation pieces surreal since they submerge the audience into strange situations or environments. His theatrical style came from his beginnings in working as a set designer for choreographers and directors. The work that first caught my attention is…
The work of Janet Cardiff I see Janet Cardiff’s work as a examination of ideas, theories, or preconceptions. Her installations play off like a performance but they are exploring an idea.

Lichtenstein and Sollfrank
In the reading of Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, an artist that I enjoy looking at his artwork is Roy Lichtenstein. His Pop Art reproduced like it was in comic books, and the use of using primary colors to make his artwork standout. In 1962 his painting “Blam” he shows an airplane getting…
Lichtenstein/Kac
One artist that caught my eye was Roy Lichtenstein, a man who created comic book-inspired works on various mediums. Lichtenstein’s work is considered to be some of the earliest examples of pop art. I studied his piece ‘Whaam!’, which was inspired from an image in DC Comic’s All-American Men of War, and is also arguably one…
