Video Art

The Begining

Computers are what started the rapid progression in all fields of technology and other areas of art. WIth out the advancement of computers, we would be no where near the level of art we are at now. Even though the first computers were meant for solving math equations, they were still a building block for todays world. I found an awesome website that discusses the history of computers, check it out!

This photo shows how different the computers were back in the day! The captions is saying that when they needed to replace a bad tube, that mean they had 19,000 possible tubes that could be busted, thats a lot of tubes to check!

To the right, you should see one of the first Apple computers to be created. This is when Apple began to revolutionize what the computer could do and how small it can be. The mouse was a huge invention that broke the barrier of being able to control a cursor on screen.







Here is a great photo of Steve Jobs!

Surrealism

This style of art is one of my favorites due to the style of imagery it produces. The pieces are all very trippy due to the dream like style. My favorite one is the middle photo, the melting clocks resemble a dream because in a dream, time is non-existent.

Violent Games Cause Violent Reactions?

I came across a great video that discusses the violent video game issue. The main cause for everyone talking about these games as a bad influence, is honestly the real life kids who do in fact do something stupid from seeing a game. These games do have a rating scale, so isn't it up to the parents to watch what their kids play? I mean how can a 12 year old buy a M rated game with out their parents.
