Nerd vlog

I don't know what to do with this, i think I might imitate these kinds of videos and see what kind of character comes out.

Attention seeking tutorial

I need to make a shirt with an attention seeking catchphrase on it. I saw one that said "I'd do me" something quite egotistical but pathetic...

3rd Years Site specific Installation

In this project you will be required to make a new work which takes into account the physical space in which it is presented. This can either be a site specific work or an installation that is set up in a gallery type space.
You will be required to consider how the exterior (analogue) components either chosen or already present in the space influence the reading of the intervention you have created. This project has the potential to be collaborative and you may choose to work with someone either because the size or complexity of the work warrants it or because you would like to make use of a peer’s particular skill in a different discipline. Collaboration must be thoroughly motivated!

Dates for presentation will be considered in relationship to your needs, the nature of the work and possibly the availability of staff to view your installation. It may be possible due to the nature of your work that you will have to submit documentation of the work rather than the work itself for year end assessment. It is therefore important that staff see the work in state at this point.

Consider carefully all 5 senses in your installtion!

Garfield Minus Garfield

I've been looking at Garfield comics as part of this whole cat study and I came across this site that has taken Garfield out of all of the Garfield comics. So you are only left with this Jon Arbuckle character who is just talking to himself. It somehow makes it even funnier than the actual comics. It kind of points out a similar idea to what my project is trying to point out, cats are used to fulfill this need for intimacy. You will notice in the original Garfield comics Garfield doesn't actually talk, his responses are always in thought bubbles, so it is kind of like Jon Arbuckle is talking to himself anyway.

So compare the actual site
