Multimediale

2007-05-03T09:14:00.000-07:00

On Friday, April 20, 2007 I had the pleasure of attending the Multimediale; “Capturing the Capital” art exhibit at the Provisions Library in Dupont Circle of the nation’s capital. This multimedia exhibit showcased the work of artists who thrive in the political realm that is Washington, DC. On this particular night of the festival, which was three days long, a video screening of various works by these politically charged artists gave the audience a myriad of political expressions to choose from.
The reach and scope of the artists’ political beliefs was presented in varied contextual schemes. One film played on the inherent value in paying attention to the things around us. The film used the annoyance of pop-up windows and the games they contain to illustrate the new face of violence in America. Astonishingly, most in the audience didn’t receive the violence well; that is, until they found out who the victim was. After a slight pan, the behavior of the audience changes. When members of the audience were able to notice that the victim was non other than international terrorist, Osama bin Laden, many responded with casual laughter and unconcerned countenances. This change from the original demeanor illustrates the power of media on a broad and varied consumer market.
The most noticeable affect of this piece is more than likely to be the use of violence. Perhaps the most important detail, however, lies in the fact that these games are contained within a pop-up window, many of which often go unnoticed. These pop-up windows are designed to lure naïve consumers into ill-fated scams that have them believe that playing a game will somehow win them a particular prize. Full aware of the consequences of playing, many simply close the pesky pop-up up window, never taking the time to read the content of the message; these messages often reach consumers subliminally.
As stated before, many topics were explored and many were presented in interesting ways. This piece, however, indicates the inherent power of media in and over our world, a point the artist did a great job at portraying. The controversy presented in this particular piece, as explained earlier, completely caused the audience to change their viewpoint. Media in our world today has a unique ability to transform the thoughts of people almost instantaneously.

Another piece to be noted is U.S. REP by Brian Judy. The video game, which allows the user to undertake the roll of any member of congress. The interactive game allows the user to gain political influence and use the legislative body to push his personal political regime in hopes of changing America.

Art as Mediation

2007-05-03T09:09:00.000-07:00

In this new day and age, limited communication by cultures has been emphasized by the fact that mediators and buffers like religion have lost their influence. Today, the United Nations and activists worldwide have replaced a meeting of priests to talk about the state of world affairs.
Perhaps the most prominent of the mediators has gone overlooked, however. Art, in its most basic form is the sharing of creative works by various people. At times these works are created for personal leisure, but most of the time to impart on an audience an interpretation of the world around them. In this expression political regimes can be questioned, terrorists can be defeated, and all people can exist as equals. Expressing these controversial topics in art reminds the audience that certain problems exist in the world, but also allows the audience to interpret the controversy at their own discretion. Dialogue may or may not be exchanged regarding the piece on display, but the audience at the very least, leaves thinking about the topic that the artist has presented. Currently, artist use their memory of war as their visual platform and mediation to reflect on politics and power.
This unspoken dialogue is the mediation that art now serves in our world. Although a panel may never be formed to discuss the genocide that is Darfur, certainly an art show on behalf of the cause will encourage people to identify it as a severe problem when they leave. Beral Madra, a curator from Istanbul, Turkey talked about this phenomenon in depth in a lecture to an American University audience on April 19, 2007. Madra attests that the new cultural climate of the 21st century has allowed artists to be the new intermediaries between world peace and world conflict. A shift from religious absolutism to individualism has allowed many artists the freedom and space to challenge conflict with the expectation that understanding might result and that people might be challenged to do something on their own to change the way of the world.
This freedom to express oneself is not always as easy as it seems. Journalists in the Middle East for instance, face persecution and risk their lives each time they write a piece about the state of their government’s affairs. Artists all around the world have had to devise elaborate schemes to get their art to the world. Today, many artists use symbols and varied imagery to portray their point of view. In design for instance, artists can interchange between image and sound to create a work that can affect many. The use of moving images has allowed for many artists to question the world around them and give the rest of the world a notice about the current state of affairs.
An example of this is in the documented footage of the use of children in the Civil Rights Movement. Without these horrendous images, perhaps this blatant problem in American culture and politics might have gone unnoticed. This footage, however, gave racism a face and brought it right into the homes of all Americans. With this, Americans had to question themselves on the political spectrum of this issue and soon mediation was able to result when many realized that what was institutionalized at the moment should not have been the case. Only after these images were shown were artists able to capitalize on shock value and change the way the world around them considered this specific issue.
In the end, artists will probably always be shunned for the causes they choose to interpret in their art. The challenge is to devise new and innovative ways to speak the truth regardless of whom around you believes otherwise. It is important to remember that the creative force behind a great work is the artist himself; without the artist, something that may need to be said could never be said and the crucial role of mediation can never be revealed.

Near The End Of The Road

2007-03-08T07:59:00.000-08:00

Midterm season has arrived once again, and in my experience, for one last time. Being a mulitmedia student allows me to explore diverse forms of media. So I guess the main question here is what have I learned in Composing with Media thus far? Well lets start with the concept of real time media. Real Time Media allows limitless possibilities within interaction, exploration, gestural, manipulation, and distortion activities. Real time is pretty exciting to work with also because altarations can be made instantly without the hassle of rendering; allowing a non-linear pattern of images and information to form. A click of the mouse or push of a button on the keyboard changes the path of an image. While the concept of experimenting with real time is a great opportunity, MAX/Jitter has proven to be the most confusing program I've ever encountered. However, Max/Jitter transforms real time media into an intermedial art form, creating endless effects without any boundaries or restrictions.

Some of the overall work by which we've been analysing includes:

North Pitney: C74 Perspective
(where North builds giant mazes and tracks movement through them digitally, which consequently pushes the computer's capabilities and extends the relationship between computers and humans)

The Messa di Voce: Fluid

(where Max/Jitter program visualizes vocal sounds and transforms into a fluid motion graphic)

Lynn Hershman: The Fantasy Beyond Control

(where interaction within the artwork introduces the influence of how the concept of interaction responds to people; making art active instead of passive)

These works have one general idea in common: Fluxus
Intermedia allows the artist to incorporate several media forms and reveal an interaction or relationship with one another. This medium is not governed by rules or regulations, therefore intermedia includes the notion of "Fluxus." Fluxus pushes the medium to an innovative artistic experience with the intersection of different medias. Fluxus interacts with art and technology, allowing the viewer to interact with the pieces instead of being static. The combination with art and technology is somewhat never ending, in which art will expand with the growth technology. Max/Jitter is the program we use in class to create our own Fluxus performance.

During the course of this semester, I've composited a couple of patches within Max/Jitter. One recent patch includes interaction. This patch in particular was a challenge because in the course of my multimedia major I have learned to construct linear pieces. Like I've stated before, Linear is the exact opposite of real time, which in the long run made me pull out my hair in stress. Anyway, for this project I focused on facial expressions and how these movements convey the emotional state of the individual to observers. So I took a couple of cell phone videos capturing my different expressions, whether its happy, sad, angry...you name it. The viewer decides what face they want to see. I added texture video and narration to spice it up a bit.

For me, Max/Jitter is complicated. I'm having a difficult time grasping the reading of patches and numeric values. Nevertheless, I will continue to play around with the software and become more familiar with it.

Lynn Hershman: The Fantasy Beyond Control

2007-02-19T09:57:00.000-08:00

Interaction introduces a kind of freedom that fills the emptiness and replaces the longing with hope. Lynn Hershman valued the influence of how the concept of interaction responds to people. We move forward in life, making art active instead of passive. Communication technology allows the old art fasion to diminish and now participation is encourage to create an audiences' reaction. She quotes, "Interactive system requires viewers to react. Choices must be made." This is the basis of interactive art, where the audience dabbles between reality and the perception of reality...between fantasy and real events. One of Hershman's artwork, "Deep Contact," involves a touch screen and transforms the viewer into a virtual world, with virtual characters and the viewer chooses his/her own virtual space. Adventures are created through touch, which allows a connection with the viewer and the images. In 1989, I'm sure this artwork development turned heads and shocked the passive as well as the active art movement of the times.

Max Jitter Interaction Interviews

2007-02-19T09:27:00.000-08:00

In these C74 Perspective interviews, Max Jitter is used to construct various forms of interaction through music and education. Matthew Lewis is an art and design professor at Ohio State. He teaches Max Jitter to college students allow play and experimentation in the classroom. Most art and design classes are filled this notion of freedom of expression as well as allowing the artist to receive feedback from their audience. Unlike many design programs, Max Jitter allows the user to modify live video. This is a cool concept that I have never explored before. I was quite fascinated with the Carrie Wilson's: Music Box because she used her movements and body language to change the sound. I agree with Matthew Lewis...Max Jitter is playful and fun.

On the other hand, Jamie Lidell used Max Jitter as a musical instrument. For him, this program is his helping hand or band to his performances. In many ways, he could be considered the DJ from the future. I hardly hear about any DJ's mixing beats and sounds live from musical patch that hasn't already been pre-recorded. He also presents a valid point: the more we play with Max Jitter, the more we learn, and the "finer points come into play." Max Jitter can be a tool to acheive a goal especially for Multimedia individuals.

Messa di Voce: Fluid

2007-02-01T09:08:00.000-08:00

Singers and Composers Jaap Blonk and Joan La Barbara use their shouts and accented vocals to create a corresponding computerized fluid graphic. The Messa di Voce program visualizes vocal sounds and transforms into a fluid motion graphic. The background is a violet red and the fluid is a light white or yellow. As Joan pronounces a "zzzz" sound, it turns these accented letters into lighter colors. The graphics are almost dreamlike. The fluid movement reminds me of a screen saver image, however it lacks interaction. This fluid has movement depending on how they annuciate the vocals. Jaap uses a lower tone voice, but it is interesting how their graphic fluids interact with one another. This speech recognition technology is art because textures are created depending on what is said and sung. This is the concert of the future where the art is the software.

North Pitney: C74 Perspective

2007-01-29T12:42:00.000-08:00

This interactive maze installation pushes the computer's capabilities and extends the relationship between computers and humans. North creates introduces an human-scale navigable maze that is conceived in a computer, but rendered in the real world. The machine interacts with the humans an changes the path depending on body movement and heat censors. I find interactive enigma installation extremely interesting to the point where I wish I could have experienced it. It would have been a challenge to leave my path with a computer rather than my own insight. Think about it. The computer determines my path through these white static walls. As soon as you walk up the stairs, you can clearly see the exit directly in front of you. However as soon as you start walking towards the exit, the walls move and close you initial way out. If the computer chooses, I can be trapped inside this maze as long as this electronic machine wishes. This concept is quite scary. I do applaud North for his achievements because he took an easy idea and expanded it to greater heights. Scary or not, I would have enjoyed the experience first hand and hopefully one day someone replicates it into a larger maze. Audiences would appreciate the tranformation of a visual space into the real.

Intermedia

2007-01-25T09:27:00.000-08:00

Dick Higgin's definition of Intermedia suggests artists explore the territory that lies between "the general area of art media and those of life media." Intermedia allows the artist to incorporate several media forms and reveal an interaction or relationship with one another. This medium is not governed by rules or regulations, therefore intermedia includes the notion of "Fluxus." Fluxus pushes the medium to an innovative artistic experience with the intersection of different medias. Yoko Ono's, Cut Piece, performance demonstrates the characteristics of Fluxus when she allows the audience to decide the outcome of how much is skin is revealed by the cutting of her clothes. During the 70's, this performance was considered taboo, which presents the intermedia aspect to her work. Intermedia is not only interesting and fun, but it expresses an art movement without boundaries or restrictions.

Like I previously stated, Intermedia involves a connection between the art and viewer. Paintings lack any sense of dialogue and audience interaction. They are purely expensive ornaments to the rich, which ultimately limit the number of people who are allowed to view it. The suggestion of "grandeur" steers away from Intermedia because it is a concept of pure media and is not restrained by any institution, unlike the world of painting.

This medium also includes a relationship between art and technology. Today, technology has greatly expanded with the creation of the Web, Video Blogging, light experimentations, higher quality televisions, cell phones, digital cameras, which overall contains faster, more efficient, and easier access components. To a multimedia artist, like myself, this aspect of Intermedia is exciting and expands our thought on the infamous question of "what is art?" There aren't any boundaries in Intermedia, just an interactive fluxus performance.

Brandon Morse: Static

2006-05-03T12:27:00.000-07:00

Enter the all white room of the Corner Contemporary Art complex where Static is shown. Welcome to a new virtual environment. Static is composed of two key elements: art and sound. Sound is heard in background as lines create random figures which is pleasing to the eye. The art moves with the sound. The interaction between these images is almost spellbinding and mystical as one doesn't recognize what it will make next. Where images and sound are uncontrollable and captivating at the samet time. These computer generated figures made me want to experiment with projections and LDC screens. My favorite piece was called "freight of images," where the composition has a natural and softer tone than the rest. This flowing piece left the audience free of form and imagination. Bravo to Static.

TV Stardom on $20 a Day

2006-05-03T12:11:00.000-07:00

Video blogs is a the technology of the future. Vlogs introduces a new way of broadcast in a boring standard TV land. Its innovative, precedent, and seems to be growing in popularity. Amanda Congdon is the new rising star of the digital world, showing her audiences new found web information. It all started with her opinion on WHAT IS COOL. Astounding how one reporters opinion can generate video stardom. She makes reporting almost enjoyable with her charming and funny persona. While there are negative viewers who think the idea of video blogs is a waste of time, I couldn't object more. This will start to become a trend with bigger corporations, but I'm glad to see that a young filmmaker built her career in achieving her dream through the world of the web. This is indeed the "film of tomorrow."

Dog Park with Urban Kids

2006-04-27T11:58:00.000-07:00

Last but not least a random adventure in the park with some urban kids. Instead of enjoying the park scenary...one must find ways to entertain ourselves:

Berks Cam

2006-04-18T14:58:00.000-07:00

Watching people is always entertaining and no i'm not a stalker.

Film Expo @ College of Art and Design

2006-04-13T16:27:00.000-07:00

I walked away disappointed at most of the works that were shown. Most films were out of this world (literally), in a negative perspective though. Makes me wonder what actually people think about during their lives. How can you call when a scientist dies an unicorn is born intriguing?? However, a construction crane demolishing a house is more visually engaging than expected. Almost looks like an animal eating away because of its starvation. Yet, a baby being pushed back into its mother's wound, to me is not art but rather disturbing in so many levels. The still art was clever, but boring. It was an experience, but I couldn't wait until it ended. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Mark Amerika "Digital Personas"

2006-04-11T16:56:00.000-07:00

Experimentation is the overall concentration in multi-media. The ability to expand on one's own artistic freedom is key, creating several different narratives to develop an interesting story. In each story are characters that include aspects of yourself, as the arthur of each piece. Mark Amerika demonstrated these concepts in Grammatron and his recent web interaction piece. In this web site, he created some alien language and used these symbols as navigation. It almost seemed like a game, yet it was more than that. A musical piece mixed with various forms of media, which is solemnly controlled by the audience. I was impressed and inspired by just how rapidly the web has grown and the many capabilities that enable an artist to further challenge us.

Video Cast Second Segment

2006-04-11T15:26:00.000-07:00

Dada Audio Tour

2006-04-07T13:21:00.000-07:00

Here is the final result of my Dada experience. Just added a little background music and sound effects to make a more valid point. I find this tour is ten times more entertaining than the actual museum version:

Video Cast Project

2006-04-04T15:04:00.000-07:00

So I scratched the cute panda idea and began brainstorming. What do I do in my spare time? Oh, thats right. I have spontaneous adventures...everything is spur of the moment. An aspect of my life which I love...I might add. I ended up interviewing my good friend Justin and asked him questions about his day. He's such a character, just watch:

Design Expo @ Katzen

2006-03-30T11:46:00.000-08:00

Often times imagination is taken for granted. At the expo creativity was intruiging. The Puerto Rican "No Me Olvides" photographs was moving and touching. Being hispanic, I appreciated the concept and historical presence. This immediately capture my attention. Moving towards the back was the Graphic portion of the Expo. I observed the cd and packaging layout projects and was equally fascinated at how they were all well executed and well presented. My favorite cd projects were called THE POSTAL SERVICE and OFFSPRING. Each a well known band, yet presented a different idea towards the description and action of the bands. My favorite packaging layout is the 'POW:' the comic book store. Reminds me so much of a comic book with the action font and use of coloring. Very impressive work overall.

POV Video Concept

2006-03-23T10:50:00.000-08:00

While previewing POV examples online, I took interest in seeing other people's adventures. Life is full of action...open to soo many options. Why not bring a camera to follow? For this project, I want to create an adventure of my own with a little humor or just another interesting story to tell and watch. Next week, I plan to go to the zoo to see the new addition: an adorable baby panda...awwwwww. I can tell this is going to be fun.

DADA

2006-03-10T08:35:00.001-08:00

Corruption, chaos, destruction, humor, disturbing, shocking all describe the movement of DADA. It clearly expressed the tortured minds and experiences from the victims of World War I. I arrived at the National Gallery of Art, expecting too much from the show. Clearly, I left with not only a deeper understanding of the meaning of DADA, but also an appreciation for art. Art can be made from anything...art is everywhere...this is DADA. An artist doesn't neccessarily has to have drawing or painting skills to create something beautiful. DADA accepted any idea that pushed away from any traditional values of society. It pushed the boundaries and let the viewer examine pieces in their own light. We suffered and this is what my message entails....this is DADA. I was and still am truly astounded to the point where I bought a magnet of Marcel's reproduction of the Mona Lisa.

Hypertext and Hypermedia

2006-03-10T08:16:00.000-08:00

Hypertext associates to the re-order of elements through a personal or any experience, howeer hypermedia takes the creator through an everyday consciousness. It allows us to examine a deeper awareness of ourselves as individuals and the world around us. To observe the past and future to determine what is true or fiction. Like hypertext, we can create several links to display our effects. Both are about reflection upon ones life. You don't have explore your life alone, instead a collaborative work method is introduced. This allows people to gain insight from their fellow worker. This method can engage the audience in a positive light. Personally, since I have a problem of expressing my ideas clearly, this method would work best for me.

Future of the Novel

2006-03-09T14:19:00.000-08:00

This chapters discusses many intriguing topics that breaks away from linear thinking in which the viewer must think conceptually and creatively, further challenging their minds. This consists of re-arranging old ideas and examining your past to create new ways. We should learn and catch up with past techniques in order to develop different perspectives and viewpoints. He also expresses a "fold in" method, in which we are continuously working backwards to progress for forward. One must observe the repetitions in order to allow rearranging and re-establishing new ideas. However, is this clear? Does the public get bored of the past and therefore challenges the creation?

A night stroll around Dupont

2006-02-14T16:16:00.000-08:00

Lights sparkle to show this fast pacing, yet seems to be false information when only one car seems to be driving on the highway.

A different rendition of cupid's valentine's day. Celebrating the bloody Capone's St. Valentine Massacre...not afraid of ridicule and public artistic expression...so free.

Just in case anyone didn't know where they were. Its always bright in Dupont!

A closer look at the monument which stands so proudly in the middle of the madness life in the circle.

The glittery snow gives the impression of relaxation, loniless, and neverending.

Homeless people over-populate the circle...looks sketchy and creates a dark presence.

Some life in these busy street. Must remain cautious before crossing.

between these streets...

More of the Dupont adventure continues...just need to focus on creating an interesting narrative

Night Life in Dupont

2006-02-09T16:37:00.000-08:00

For this hypersituational project, I plan to capture the lively essence of the Dupont Circle environment. This town is fast pacing, vibrant with adventure, and filled with a variety of life and people. The tour starts in the center of the cirle then continues traveling down the different streets. Who knows the people i'll run into and what excitement i'll see. Hope to capture a vivid tour for our viewers.

The Journey by EBnefsi

2006-02-07T09:49:00.000-08:00

This multi-media art work is an interactive website following ones journey. The artist directions states that each branch you choose is a different path in life. The artist makes a valid point in telling the viewer to never press the back button because in life you go forward and can't change the past. You click on an embryo to start the journey and eventually end up at a gravestone image page which indicates death. I enjoyed searching through this non-sequencial website because it is filled with insightful messages and visuals that is related to life. This is a personal piece for the artist as well because we are going through her path. In the end, the artist suggests the viewer makes their own journey. I think this piece makes the audience understand and appreciate life more as a whole.

Hypertexual Day 15

2006-02-02T15:55:00.000-08:00

Woke up not feeling well. Head is spinning. Hope I don't regret my actions.

Hypertexual Day 14

2006-02-02T15:47:00.000-08:00

Imagination is a gift. Expand your opportunities. Grow by using your complex thoughts.

Interface show

2006-02-02T15:35:00.000-08:00

At the interface show, I explored the new world of creative and talented contemporary art. As I examined every piece, I was blown away of how something so simple as magnets and needles can develope into something unreal. The bacteria and floating needles was my favorite. Changed my friends perspective in multi-media art and mine.

Hypertexual Day 13

2006-02-02T15:34:00.000-08:00

No time to waste. Don't get held up. No limits in me.

Hypertexual Day 12

2006-02-02T15:26:00.000-08:00

Lost who I was for a while. Seek more of whats within. Explore the endless possibilities.

Hypertexual Day 11

2006-02-02T15:20:00.000-08:00

Mom sent a photo of me reading a potty training book. Photo of my past. Photo of my innocent youth.

Hypertexual Day 10

2006-02-02T15:17:00.000-08:00

Clear my mind of illusions. Cleanse myself of pain. Satisfy my hunger.

Hypertexual Day 9

2006-02-02T15:14:00.000-08:00

I blame you for global warming. I blame you for the AIDS epidemic. I blame you for world poverty.

Agency

2006-02-02T15:01:00.000-08:00

Agency is defined as "the satisfying power to take meaningful action and see the results of our decisions and choices." This involves the participation of the audience, or in better terms an 'interactor.' The idea of encorporating the viewer into a piece of work itself seems to be the new wave of modern technology. I have to say I am a fan. I wouldn't mind being part of a new innovative notion in interactivity.Essentially, this generation seems to have a shorter attention span, or at least I do. However, the real question is: can a piece of art be successful without the involvement of an interactor?

Hypertexual Day 8

2006-01-30T08:25:00.000-08:00

Having a relaxing day to ease my mind of my many worries and concerns. Friend called me on the phone complaining about her not so smart friend. "Common Sense ain't Common." -true point

Hypertextual Day 7

2006-01-30T08:23:00.000-08:00

Sun is shining bright. A picnic at a park is the perfect idea this afternoon. Spending a day at the park became absolute bliss.

Dream Machine Discussion

2006-01-24T13:02:00.000-08:00

A valid point about sequence was discussed in class. Hypertext is the new way of thinking, however it is known as non-sequential writing instead of expressing things in order. I have to agree with Nelson about how our ideas and thoughts are not in order, instead our minds are used to tying together ideas randomly. Since we have already established previously that multi-media is a form of art and art is meant to gather different interests and opinions from the audience. Audience's want to see something that is unique and from another perspective. I believe multi-media works better out of sequence and we as the creators must think outside the "box" in order to progress or even succeed in this field.

Hypertexual Day 6

2006-01-24T12:49:00.000-08:00

After my morning class, I had lunch with an old friend since freshman year. Since we avoid drama, our friendship has grown and progressed positively. Be true to yourself and avoid confrontation, so explainned my wisdom friend.

Hypertexual Day 5

2006-01-24T12:45:00.000-08:00

This is a typical Monday just like any other. Though in my typography class we had to take a favorite quote and write it in a certain type. "The future has a funny way of arriving unannounced," I find this quote completely true.

America's Grave

2006-01-22T13:48:00.000-08:00

Before seeing your art piece, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. Upon at your piece, I was a little blown away and taken back. Thinking that you were anti-bush and had many liberal views was my first impression. However, as you were explaining the piece I was impressed at the creativity and originality of the work. Having heard of Dantes Inferno previously, it was interesting to see how you presented your own version. The number 6 was strongly evident through the television installations and the flags. Your use of symbolism is a great trait. Even though the piece represented elements of death, the audience can still see life developing over again. Seeing the mistakes of the Uinted States and yet whipping them away with brand new life is my favorite meaning of this art. Overall, America's Grave delivers an insightful message of the corruption and re-birth that makes up the USA.

Hypertexual Day 4

2006-01-22T13:47:00.000-08:00

Waking up energetic at my friend's house, we decided to do something fun. We jumped on her trampoline. I felt like a little playful kid again.

Hypertexual Day 3

2006-01-22T13:42:00.000-08:00

My friends and I took a trip to Ikea to buy a couch. Since the couch was too wide for the car, we tied it to the roof. My friend wasn't too happy when it left a dent.

Hypertexual Day 2

2006-01-22T13:39:00.000-08:00

i fell today from walking back from class. I jammed two fingers on my right hand. They are now swollen and turning blue. OuCh!

Hypertextual day 1

2006-01-19T15:55:00.000-08:00

Today I tried something new and interesting that my friend from London recommended. I also had coconut coffee with tapioca bubbles at the new coffee shop in the tavern. The bubbles felt squishy and tasteless.

What makes multimedia relevant to contemporary artistic expression?
