Project 4 Progress: We Are ‘The Smash Bros.’

Here are some links for you to see how I’ve interconnected these popular networking sites. The Rhizome page has more information on my project. My ongoing online intervention is a performance piece. I’ve created an ‘online’ musical persona; and with this group I will explore the aesthetics, processes and potential for “human” interaction and expression of self to others (this self is hopefully made more distinct through hacktivist ideologies and practices, like the manipulative quality of HTML).

Project 2: Steal This Video

Using only YouTube, find a video with 1 minute of interesting material. This video can be of anything—a trailer for a movie, an old TV show, a teenager singing a pop song, etc.
This project will enable you to examine visual appropriation and the realities and implications of an open-source culture on our everyday media consumption.
You will then re-enact / redub 1 minute of that video and record and edit your re-enactment / redub in Final Cut Pro.
Due: October 19
This project is worth 15% of your final grade.
Your mark for this project will be broken down into the following components:
- Technical Proficiency: 20
- Conceptual Engagement: 40
- Critique: 20
- Aesthetics: 20
Other notes: You must give this project a title and we will work together to figure out the best way to present the final projects (it could be that we upload the videos to YouTube, embed those videos in a webpage side by side with the original, or burn the videos to a DVD and play them all as a loop, etc.)
