first animation for digiscape

I started my animation by using my paper plane to sorta turn on my landscape. I used the plane to scroll over the images, transforming from black and white to color. The flowers swirl, the sun swirls, the bubbles pop, the clouds rain, and the my blow-up man throws the cherry in the appitini after getting rained on from the chocolate cloud. I Forgot had to use ease tool with the direction path, but I was able to achieve the effects i wanted without it. Following my concept of reusing items of my indulgence, i use the blow-up man interactingwith sexual foods, such as the chocolate and the cherry. Throwing the cherry into the glass, refers to "popping a cherry." 

quiz#1

1. A symbol is the first image, which appears in the library. The instance is a duplicate of that symbol within the same layer. It can contain the same keyframes of the original symbol.

2. A black frame is a frame which contains some type of animation, (a move, scale, color, etc. change to a symbol). A empty keyframe is just that, empty. It appears when the layer is invisible in timeframes.

revised digiscape

reworked background and removed text

santana's digiscape

B.

Creating my digiscape, i decided to develope a landscape of the elements in my life that I have been known to consume to much of. With gluttony I have become aware of why too much of a good thing is bad for me. I decided to put to use all that I over-indulged in to the point of waste and created a land. I used color, lines, and images to complete a visually interesting digiscape.

Elements of my digiscape will be inspired by Julie's geometric abtractions. I like the the density she creates with line and geometric shape. The remind me of maps with the contrast of color with black and white.

Question for Rachel Greene's A History of Internet art

C.

In the article it mentions that net.art  is art that is merged with everyday life (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0268/is_9_38/ai_65649375/pg_7?tag=artBody;col1). Our quick and easy lifestyles revolve around everything from food to electronics. How is the popularity of net.art connected to our cultural needs?

review on www.soundtoys.net

Soundtoys  http://www.soundtoys.net/ is a exhibition of audio visual artist developed by technology. It is a well organized, designed website for viewers to discover artist and for artist to contribute to each other. It provided news and resources contributing to netart. I find their journal to be strong attribute of the website. In the journal one can find essays and interview with digital media artist fast. Its clean appearance makes it a strong website to promote netart and the artist who create it.

My favorite is the interfaces of amorphoscapes http://www.soundtoys.net/toys/amorphorscapes. Its a exploration of texture and line structure.
