Hey all! Here are the links to the projects I showed last class:
TehChing (Sam) Hsieh's One Year Performances
Marisa Olson's American Idol Blog
We didn't get a lot of time in class to talk about these projects (though they definitely provoked some strong reactions), so take a look at them now and post a comment on this thread to tell me what you think.
Also, a note about the final project: The idea of a "self-portrait" is definitely up for interpretation. It could be a representation of your body, but could also go beyond that to talk about your life, your family, neighborhood, interests, etc. It can also bring up questions of what is a true representation. For instance, the blog format lends itself to being a journal of your real life, yet Marisa Olson's American Idol project blurs the line between what is a performance for reality television and what are her real experiences and true emotions. What is the line between fact and fiction for how you represent yourself?
