Assignment 11

There are two different perspectives and views from mainstream and underground art, just like a head and tail of a coin there are always the good and the bad. In the way that Brogan explains in the “Media Art, Mediality and Art Generally” the shift of differentiation and separation of art culture is due to change of “interest and orientation” in which the access of newer technology leads to a broader horizon on the design world.

         The subject topic  I will be presenting is in regard to my first paper on Japanese Capsule Hotel and the changes from technology in architecture from a designer standpoint. I feel like the design from this hotel can be used on the graphical theory that is applied to this class and I can work more on. I am looking for some modern capsule building and how it would change the design over the year with more efficiency.

           On the topic of mainstream art, people are seeing these arts as a new norm of art and believe that is the standardization of art many people would aim for.  Like most complimentary today , they are what people would consider mainstream art. Underground art on the other hand becomes the underdog of arts and usually is rare and out of sight, but the uniqueness of art has made it into mainstream art. I feel like it makes a huge gap between mainstream art but always ends up coming together.

Assignment 8

This advertisement is made by PeTA which is very strange of them to advertise this in the US, but this advertisement got alot of backlash due to fat-shaming

This advertisement was made by an company called Beauty , but this advertisement had a backlash as it shows violence and abuse of women and its being used as a product for their brand
This Unhate Poster Campaign had a huge backlash when its campaign was shown up and the way they use political and religious figure for this has cause a huge problem with people in the world

Assignment 7

From what I was reading in this article it was confusing to me, but the gist of the topic is what I can interpret from this article is that technology has made messages much more accessible to the public and it shows the limit that can be broken through with technology. While it may sound like it can have a huge positive impact there are always downsides in technology where people will do it for other means. The medium of the message is what made the standardization 

 In around the second paragraph of the article “This fact, characteristic of all media, means that the “content” of any medium is always another medium”  The content of the medium is what the designer should think of using, the content is much more of the idea of what a designer has to complete the product. The way of invention had been described by McLuhan as a whole new innovation of lifestyle and with technology that people have constantly used. I feel like in the same way designers today wouldn’t have innovated their idea without the help of technology and the access of information they can get to use. 

 Overall , I still only understand the topic at hand, but the whole article seems to not make it much more clear for people who are not used to that form of writing and trying to decipher the information.
