Five Years From Now

Within five years from now, I am graduated from Temple with a Visual Studies major and a Political Science minor with a certificate in Community Development. At this point in my life, I am new to the jobs that are set before me in my life. Right now, I will be living in an apartment in Philadelphia or just outside of the city, with a special someone or friends, because of specific job opportunities that have been set before me. In reality, I am working for a Philadelphia firm that aids social betterment through art: possibly a mural paining program for kids, becoming an artistic director of a building, or even starting my path to becoming a lobbyist for an artistic cause. I am on the way to becoming successful, but I am happy being the person I want to be. Overall, I know that I can not have everything planned out and set within five years from now, but I want to have an idea of what I'm planning on doing and where I want to go. By this point, the person who is Olivia Hailey Smith is taking shape.

Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Matthew Barney video reaction

The video I watched from Barney, Cremaster Cycle Trailer, was extremely odd with its imagery and symbolism. There were different shots of unrelated things, and the entire video seemed surreal at times. Because of its oddness, this video reminds me of the video examples we were shown in class. I can possibly take inspiration from this video, if I wanted to make something extremely abstract. It was difficult to find the true meaning of this video, but nevertheless, I still appreciate it.
