#MeToo Video Art

I am deeply inspired by the #MeToo movement and I believe that everyone should be aware of its importance. I used a pink tint in order to add feminine connotations (although men are also a part of the movement, just not as much). The overlapping audio and video attempts to display the prevalence of this issue and emphasize the fact that sexual assault happens more than one would think. I hope that this video inspires people to speak out and support the movement. I included the credits in the description when I posted it on YouTube, here is the full list:

The Body as a Medium

Art is fluid, art is diverse, and art is everywhere. They very idea of art being confined to simply a paintbrush and canvas is absurd. I see art every time that I walk outside and immerse myself in nature.  While I do not have much artistic talent outside of film, I am inspired by Marina Abramovic's avant-garde approach to art. The more that individuals appreciate the world around them, the more obvious it is that we are surrounded by works of art. When it comes to self expression, rules and restrictions do not apply like they do in the STEM subjects. Abramovic describes the studio as a seclusion that hindered her from truly connecting with the public. To her, it was ludicrous to even consider returning to the confines of classic mediums. While this does not mean that the typical mediums are basic or overused, it just means that the possibilities are endless when it comes to expressing yourself to the furthest extent. In many ways, I relate to this mindset. I have never been very t...

The Unconscious Mind

The idea of our brain acting like a parliament interested me because I never really thought about how inherently physical the arguments I have with myself are. While we as humans are relatively aware that we have a subconscious, I do not think most people understand the extent to which our actions are controlled by parts of the brain that we will never have full control of.

However, in hindsight I realized that the inherent stress of holding onto a secret has influenced my decision making more than I thought. Dr. Eagleman truly made me more conscious of my subconscious. He thoroughly explai...
