I have been thinking about the concepts in the movie Digital Nation for a number of years. As a protest against corporate propaganda and the over-stimulation that digital media can bring I stopped subscribing to and watching cable television about six years ago. I am not sure if this has helped or hindered my personal growth in the digital age because although I have lots of free time to read and do outdoor activities due to my non TV watching, I often feel behind and/ or alienated from pop culture. The questions I have about the film are these:
Now that digital media is so integrated into the lives of the millenial generation, how do we teach with it in the classroom, while also integrating an appreciation for the physical, natural world?
How does a person such as myself, who has purposely separated themself from the influence of mainstream pop-culture integrate into the digital world while maintaining an outside perspective on popular culture?

Project #4 Art 245 Video Remake
For this project I attempted to remake the short conceptual art film "Lieder" by Cheryl Donegan. I used a Canon Vixia camera and other media to complete this remake including, canvas, paint, garbage bags, tape, pillows, oatmeal, and a swivel chair. This project was assisted by Sean Hansen who threw the paint and controlled the stereo.
After shooting the film I edited it using Final Cut Pro. For the audio I used parts of a song ("Restart" by Mexicans With Guns) layered with the audio track from the original film by Donegan.
I think the remake went pretty well and was able to capture the essence and concept of the original video while adding a more modern artistic quality.
*Note- Technical difficulties with Youtube are not allowing me to post this video to blog at this time, however here is the link to the video.
