Since the advent of the internet and the yearly increase in connectivity shrinking the digital divide, information and media have become increasingly accessible to many more people. Our personal consumption of media has become extremely tailored due to individualization. With “web-based mass alternative media offer increased range, immediacy, and ease over traditional alternatives” (Owens and Palmer, 2003; p 339) we are given the opportunity to customize both our virtual and tangible experience.
I had a talk with Iris Van Herpen about her work. I had a great experience with her. Where were you born, grow up and did your study? I was born in Netherlands and live with my family in wamel. I did my Fashion design from Artez Institute of the Arts Arnhem. What are your hobbies in childhood? What are the family situations in you grow up?

influence the interpretation of the art. The intentionalists believe that artist’s intention can either determine or impact the interpretation. The anti-intentionalists hold the opposite view, artist’s intention should not be taken into consideration in interpreting. In the discussion of this, there are some small variations within each side, but we will stay with this definition for now. Daniel O. Nathan is obviously an anti-intentionalist. In his paper “Art, Meaning and Artist’s Meaning”, he demonstrated
A Day at the Crocker Art Museum Having lived in the Sacramento area for the last 10 years, last weekend was my first trip to the Crocker Art Museum. The museum was slow when we first got there around 10:00 am, but within an hour it started to pick up. I did not expect much from a museum in Sacramento, I was thinking more like gold rush memorabilia or Sutter household items. In short, I love the place. It is so much bigger and with more art than I imagined. My favorite part of the museum was the
The question of whether modern technological development has been beneficial or detrimental to human beings is perhaps the most pressing question that faces our society. If technology is harmful, then we need to minimize or eliminate the danger. If technology is not the source of the problems and concerns that are frequently attributed to it, then we need to find another cause for the social and psychological pressures faced by our society, so we can address these problems.

many works of art and many different possible locations that could be considered when trying to create would be classified as “The Ultimate Art Exhibit”. For my project, I have decided to place my Art exhibit inside of Rome, Italy for many reasons. One of which is that Rome is known to have very beautiful building architecture and is known for great masterpieces such as The Pantheon and also the Colosseum. Due to the extremely high number of tourists that Rome gets year-round, if an art gallery that
Art in the Movie Basquiat Walter Benjamin projected the future of art in the age of mechanical reproduction, providing the basis of aesthetic evaluation for photography, film, digital and reproducible art. In the film Basquiat, directed by Julian Schnabel and starring Jeffrey Wright, Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, and David Bowie as Andy Warhol, the art world is explored in the midst of defining itself in light of the changes brought about by the technology of the twentieth century.

globally yet and that was fairly expensive to try to produce, and since this time it has been debated if photography deserves its place in the art world. Through the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s it grew in popularity and throughout time photography went from being badly received to a new form of art though people around the world still debate if it is indeed “art”. Photography has a long history from the first camera obscura in the 18th century to the latest Nikon or Canon camera in the 21st century
