Remixing Google Image Search
For this weeks Remixing Google Image Search the 5 words that I decided to use for my image were,
- Bear
- Sunset
- Waterfall
- Senses
- Technology
These were a mixture of ideas that I thought about while thinking about art. 3 of the pictures were of nature and things I think about with natural beauty. Technology came to mind because of how expansive art is becoming, and senses because of how we create art using our different senses for guidance. I believe that this image I created is a piece of art, because to me it is showing the contrasts of aspects that go into art and how I see them both portioned and as a whole. In Dissanayake’s writing she brings up the topic of postmodernism and how its art is so different, “The assumption that interpretation is indispensable to appreciating and even identifying artworks has opened a Pandora’s box that is now called “postmodernism,” a point of view that calls into question two centuries of assumptions about the elite and special nature of art” (Dissanayake, 19). Since this Pandora’s box has been open and there are so many new thoughts and ideas about what art is and how it doesn’t have to be part of the best works for something to still be considered art. I agree with her idea and how its nearly impossible for something to be determined not to be art, while someone else could be considered art.
