Goldsworthy and Pollock

I think that Goldsworthy and Pollock had similar thinking in how they made their works of art. Even though their styles of creating art so greatly differ, they both started off a piece with out a solid, thought out plan. Pollock did not know where every splash, line, or stroke was going to be placed….

Jackson Pollock

I found the way the author of this article described Pollock’s work very interesting. It seems that Pollock’s work either caused intrigue or some feeling of darkness, or maybe even confusion. The article also says that he created magnificent paintings, but also destroyed painting. Because he was creating things people had never seen before and…

Nature

Our project related to the environment by letting the person entering the augmented space become like a force of nature. Just like wind, although you can not see it you know it is there, you can see moving tree branches and know that wind is there. This makes it like our project in that that…

Technology as an artificial environment

With applications from the previous texts and the documentary, my project too reflects the surrounding environment we create for ourselves. That environment is one that is purely artificial and almost techno-organic in some regards. Our lives are more melded with technology rather than the natural world. Like Goldsworthy, I too use objects and materials that…

Goldsworthy Documentary and the Article

I think the Goldsworthy Documentary and the Pollock article have similar ideas. Goldsworthy stated in the documentary, “make something that is effortless.” I think Pollock was going for that same idea in his artwork, but he was doing it on a canvas instead of in nature. Neither Goldsworthy or Pollock represent the artists who have…

Our Project and the Environment

Our project can relate to the environment through movement such as wind. I think when people walk through our project and see strings of light moving, they will think of themselves as wind. In relation to wind pushing an object such as three branches, those who interact with our project will act as wind pushing…

How My Project Interacts with the Environment

My project directly corresponds to the piece’s environment. The dynamic-ness of the outside weather is what brings the idea to life and gives it movement. The weather then, in turn, uses technology to create a new environment indoors. I feel as though the weather is therefore using and usurping technology’s powers to further it’s impact…

Mr. Goldsworthy

In relation to the previous article, there are some similarities that can be drawn from the previous author’s approach to viewing these artists. That similarity is how the artists can augment existing environments. Pollock augmented environments using artificial pigments, and manufactured canvas. Goldsworthy uses only found, natural materials on location. Both artists do augment space,…

my project and the environment

My project is all about signs and how we respond to them. The environment is full of signs. Whether it be a simple street sign giving us driving instructions, an add, or even the weather, we know just how to respond to it. I think the meanings of signs can be implicit or explicit, in…

technology??

As technology being a really big part of this society I think that the work that I am creating, in responsive art, fits right into it. Unlike Goldsworthy this class deals with computers and technology. In his documentary I was really inspired when he was explaining his concept about the ocean tide covering his rock…

Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy’s art perfectly corresponds with the Kaprow article. We just read all about exactly how and when art became open to all sorts of medias and this is obviously manifested in Goldsworthy. He only works with organic things, trees, rocks, leaves, ice, etc, and he creates incredible sculptures and photographs. His pieces also follow…

Alchemies of Art

In this article, Allan Kaprow attempts to assert that, and describe how, Jackson Pollock revolutionized art-making. He said that Pollock destroyed painting by turning it into a ritual; dehumanizing and liberating it. At the same time, Pollock stayed true to a few painting traditions, such as the idea of quality of marks. The article states…
