Her projects are hybrids that feed into multiple areas of research and often offer new 'readings' of data produced by natural systems. Her works include a system that uses the Lorenz attractor as a structure to guide human / computer musical improvisation (1992) and a performance technology project, started in 1996 and titled Intuitive Ocusonics, which is a system for performing sound by using eye movements.

Art Event 9

Title: Animator vs. Animation
Artist: Alan Becker
Medium: Animation
Place: The World Wide Web <>
Date: April 7, 2009
Description: I found this video to be one of the greatest animations; I have never seen anything like this animation. The idea behind this piece is to use the interface of the flash program and animated to fight with the person creating the animation. It looks simple but at the same time it is very difficult to create. I think this piece has a lot to do with the class just because it’s flash what he is using.

Title: They Rule
Artist: Josh On
Medium: Website
Place: The World Wide Web <>
Date: May 3, 2009
Description: I found this site to very intriguing and interactive. The site is Flash based which is what makes it interactive. The meaning behind the work is also very minded blowing. Teaches you things you would have never imagine and if you know anything about large corporation a lot of things some of these business do for one another makes a lot of sense. What this site does it lets you see what boards of directors own what company and it allows you to expand to each director and see what other business he or she are in charge of. This site comes into relation with the class because the website is flash based and it’s what we are covering is this course.

Art Event 7

Title: Body of War
Artist: Ellen Spiro
Medium: Video
Place: Cal State University of San Marcos Arts 240
Date: March, 17 2009
Description: Body of War is a documentary following Tomas Young, and Iraq war veteran who was paralyzed from a bullet to the spine during the war. Tomas who joined the military for one purpose only, to fight against the people responsible for the disasters occurred on September 11. Thomas Young full of remorse and questioning the reason on why United States joined the war in Iraq. His story is told in this documentary Body of War.
Tomas open the door for many other soldiers who are apposed against the war in Iraq. Many of the images in this documentary are very empowering to young soldiers in the Iraqi war. I think this documentary was not made to be a depressing video and for us to feel sorry for Tomas Young. But the way it was produced it was made to be political video.
Body of War" is an excellent documentary, which is one of the first cinematic efforts to link the personal tragedies of this war to the political decisions by members of Congress to support and mimic the Administration's claims that Iraq possessed "weapons of mass destruction" which jeopardized our very existence.
"Body of War" attempts to hold politicians responsible for votes and. After seeing Thomas’ story I’m sure many people will think twice when joining the war knowing that the war in Iraq continues. One relation this documentary presentation could have to the class is that it could be seen a social issue specially since we are so close to camp Pendleton.

Art Event 6

Title: Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Artist: Kristina Wong
Medium: Performance Art
Place: Cal State University of San Marcos Art 111
Date: Tuesday, Mar. 24 @ 7 pm
Description: Kristina Wong is a performance artist she has a very unique way of showing her work. She put’s on a one man show or in her case a one women show. In her work she plays different dialogues that talk about Asian American women and the issues. She plays different stereotypes of Asian American women which I notice that it her main subject of focus. While on some of the issue she questions her self and adds sarcastic physiological responses. I do think her work has a lot with our work in her class, but one thing she did have was a interactive website that had to do with Asian wife’s which I found to be very interesting.
