Possible Crowd-Sourcing Project
So I gave some thought to the idea of doing something on campus, using the student body as my crowd. Why not use something all these student already have in their possession to make art? I thought those new mini clickers that we all had to get were perfect. Why not set up a "room" everyone can log into, which has its signal broadcast across campus, they will be asked a question, like maybe how they are feeling that day, and their answer could correspond to a color. Each time a person logs in to the room, they will be given an incrementally new number, corresponding to a pixel in a picture. Their answer will turn their pixel a different color, and the result could be shown up on a giant screen, making an artwork from the response of the crowd

http://ubu.com/film/harris_highway.html - link to original
This is my video art project, I used hilary harris's film "Highway" as a basis, I realize I am not visible, but neither was she in the video. you can however see my hand in the reflection of the windshield, if I were more versed in premiere pro maybe it could be fixed. I thought that harris was trying to show the modernity of the highway in 1958, so I thought I'd show the modernity of the highway today.
also here is the audio track since a couple of you wanted me to post it

Video Art Part Deux
With digital media overshadowing analog media in today's world, has the affinity for physical artwork been lost?
When society has made access to a means to make video so easy, how do we define what is art and what is mere film documenting something irrelevant or unprovocative? Does the determining factor still lie with the intent of the author, as in other mediums?
