Case Study: Proceedings / Summary
Visiting Professor Talan
Memmott charged his class “Visual Culture and Design”
with the following assignment:
“Continuing along the lines
of a phenomenology of media discussed in class... Keep a log of
your interactions with media on a daily basis. Become aware of
how much the world is a media experience both on and offline,
with or without television. Take a walk and consider the degree
to which you are asked by everyday events and encounters to deal
with media. Take some pictures, do some writing, make some drawings.
Compile and combine the collected information and make a digital
artifact.”
Inspired by David Byrne’s Powerpoint
art, I chose to combine Powerpoint, collage of digital photographs
of media, and an MP3 into a performed visual text(ure).
