Ill add some stuff then...sometimes I tend to do things my own way.
Well what's here isn't about you doing things your own way, or even adding a measured "amount of stuff" (what would I or anyone else say equals enough stuff; and sometimes more is less, right? ) Perhaps it's a matter of adding clarity around just a couple of specifics?
That's what i meant, and I think I did it.
But um...I guess you can be the judge.
totally grotesque G-Moding. extremities of overgore. How does anyone like this?
Very pretty- the blood spatters especially.
I didn't vote on this back when you originally posted it because I wanted to think about it, look at the pictures and really take them in. On coming back to it I'm finding little details that I actually love. The window with the blood spattered pane of glass on one side and the empty pane, sun shining through on the other. Nice. And the look of the body in the tub was also nice (though I found the blood splatters on that one felt overdone and distracting... how would you splatter that much blood and die in the tub with so little blood in the water (I know you might not have been able to do water/blood in GM)).
Anyway, I like them. No question they are art and no question that there's really great potential for great art here. I'd love to see even more with more focus on details and composition (the compositions you have are good, but I'd love to see more quirk). Nice work. And it is good to see you back!
I'll bite. "totally open to your interpretation, just like any other painting or photo" and "it doesn't have to be pretty for you to acknowledge it as art" are kind of variations on a similar theme: the recipient/viewer's mores or sense of appreciation doesn't possess any more or less authority over artwork than others, right?
However, I don't know that I see the connection to the language of the task in terms of contextualizing or critique. Have you considered that the turn of phrase this "is a little like" that seems less contextual than comparative?
Is then the declaration that your creation is art because it compares to other art or that it doesn't compare and rather confronts the aesthetic/moral judgments of the viewer?
Can you tell us a little about your process and method using this medium (i.e., the video game)? First thing in your proof is the turn of phrase "artistic". Conducting activities in artistic and artful ways may not necessarily be art or result in an artwork, right? Or, which is the art here? The photos or the actions--or in what way do these as evidence of actions combine with action to formulate your artwork? By deepening your contextualizing and critique perhaps these become artworks?
So, are you meeting the task requirements in the sense that you've declared this art or do you hear where you are describing actions adjectivally as art? Is it art or the record of an artistic gesture within a virtual space?
