Post 2




Technology/Transformation Wonder Women by Dana Birnbaum is a 2-D photography made in 1978. The video is about filmmaking in the early days and see how the visual and sound effects were. This movie is much different from what we are use to because of the time period and you can see a big difference on how new media changed the way we watched movies. Over many years you can see how the software editing evolved into something much more advanced. One big difference that this video and paintings and sculptures are different is that it’s moving pictures. This film isn't art that you paint but it’s an art that people perform. It has no paint and clay but a person acting out a script written by a writer. The writer uses words to express his idea instead of painting on paper. How the film was made is also very different from painting and sculpting. For performing art for a film you have to acted it out and take multiple scenes of the same part to find what is best. You have to do many scenes and edit it together into a movie. I decided to do this post on a film because I find films more interesting than a painting. Over the years you can see how much software and effects are improving as time goes on and that is very interesting what you are able to do with a computer. In my opinion a movie has more detail and more meaning than a pictures because of the way they film it. It’s a story that the writer wants you to know and experience for yourself and wants you to see his imagination in his eyes. I really like film and it really interests me when they act everything out and put it into a movie. The movie is the art and it’s showing you a story from someone’s unique point of view.

  1. Dennis- I appreciate your interest in video as an art form! However your post needs some corrections and clarification. You write that this piece is a 2d photo but then you (correctly) say it is a video, which is a 4D form. Please review the terms regarding the forms of art from our vocabulary list. And yes, the artist is using the technology of the time to alter the existing footage - but the writing that follows this idea is confusing and unclear. Additionally, you failed to mention any of the visual elements (color, shape, pattern) that was required in this assignment and is very visible in the work.
