old technology can make art
I went home the weekend before our performance art pieces and I realized all of the money I wasted on over 6 broken cameras, 2 broken iPods, 4 cell phones, and other technological items. Considering my parents and brother all work with computers, I was raised around technology and have been obsessed with the newest gadgets since.
So my performance was to prove that even if people view these old gadgets as worthless... you can still turn it into art. I took a Jackson Pollock approach, and did a splatter painting. But with one catch, I used neon paint and blacklights for a more psychedelic affect.
I had SOO much fun just making a mess and using the gadgets to transform a black sheet into a beautiful art piece. I also loved that Santiago showed me that the actual art piece was the gadgets covered in paint on the white tarps I put down. Everyone in the class did a great job and it was a fun day of performances!!

Wow, this was incredible! I loved the different colors in the piece. They were so vibrant and different. My favorite part of your piece was seeing the relationship between the paint and the technology. Just like the paint fading when the black light was not on it... the technology fades when the light is no longer shining on it, or when something new comes along! Great work.
Alyssa your piece was amazing. I love the colors, idea, everythingggggggggggg. It was so creative and different than anyone else's. You did a great job.
