CUNY Week 12 – How I Remember I Was There
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Howdy, I’m H. Michael Karshis Do you keep a box of your old ‘stuff’ somewhere? What’s in it? Why did you put it in that box? How often do you look through it and reminisce? I keep quite a bit of stuff tucked under a table…

This past Friday I had a chance to spend some time with artists Ryan Seslow and Jeffrey Allen Price at their show, Energetic Fusion in the York College Art Gallery. The two have collaborated to create not just a show but an event, which involved them creating new work throughout its run as well as…

We’ve Got Our Top People On The Job
Norm Wright drew a Where’s Waldo? It remix card on the Messing with the MacGuffin assignment. It’s been quite some time since I’ve Messed with the MacGuffin, so I couldn’t resist a quick Messing with the MacGuffin [remixed]: Where’s Waldo? It. The final shot of Raiders of the Lost Ark is famous for illustrating bureaucracy’s ability…

CUNY Week 11: Who’s Behind That Original Story?
Over the past few weeks you’ve been creating work often built on others’ work. Is that ok? Taking digital pieces of copyrighted work and remixing to make something of your own? Or how about recording a commentary over movie scenes as you did in a your video essay about a film? A number of videos…

Five Big Fish In Their Little Ponds
Finding five ‘obstructionist bureaucrats’ proved too difficult a task in class yesterday for my second one archetype five films in five seconds video assignment. Also the keeping it to five seconds has been next to impossible. I think Kat’s Five High School Bullies is the best really short one I’ve seen. But I don’t think…

The assignment asks you to create a five second video of one archetype from five different movies cutting together one second of each. The exercise gave everyone the opportunity to experiment with downloading…

Silent Era Cool Hand Luke
This Return the Silent Era video remakes the 50 eggs eating contest in the 1967 classic prison camp movie Cool Hand Luke. On a sweltering stormy night, the prisoners are dreading the closing of the windows of the barracks as it will mean a sweaty night of misery. Luke (Paul Newman) takes the bunch off…

Preparing for Silent Cool Hand Luke
Every since I saw Alan’s post about Artsifiying Youtube Videos and the Return to the Silent Era assignment, I was pretty sure I wanted to do it. And it’s been helpful to see some students have done the assignment, particularly Kill Me Silently Baby! which I find really captures one of the major genres of…
