Addendum to class #5

A few links we discussed at that I didn't include previously:

http://slecht-lands.livejournal.com/117471.html (now that I've shown you screen capture tools you can figure out one of a few ways to make this sort of animation)

When we were discussing THE PORN: http://thankgodforconceptualart.com/index.php?/projects/me-and-my-girlfriend/ I told you about a similarity in structure by Kelly Mark in her captured series: http://www.ireallyshould.com/captured.html

This goes to the truth of a comment by Christopher Brayshaw on a simpleposie thread about the clusters of similarities that are produced on VVORK:

"[...] subject-based content is distinct from artistic subjectivity. The Bechers don't own "water towers" any more than Jeff Wall owns "light boxes." Subject without subjectivity is meaningless on its own. Take the recent chess works; chess is a subject -- shared template -- that many different subjectivities are worked out in relation to. But many of those subjectivities begin from aesthetic positions that don't bear any relationship to each other, outside of the nominally similar forms. Curators who organize shows about subjects (hot rod art, garden art, red art) instead of subjectivities are mailin' it in."

OK, now carry on with the important work of putting a marquee tag around everything we see.
