Found footage

psychological reasons behind knife crime felt seamless and began to answer why Rhys was witness to such an event, thus putting his experience into context. We also combined what Ffion was saying about how knife crime can often seem impulsive with CCTV footage of an unprovoked attack. This evokes a similar reaction as ‘citizen journalism’ as it ‘provid[es] vital evidence of events beyond the reach of the centralized mainstream media’ (Chanan, 2012), as the unedited blurry image emphasises how unplanned

Marcel Duchamp revolutionized the art world with his readymade works of art. He took objects from everyday life and turned them into works of art. He posed the question of what can be considered art and who gets to decide what art is. Duchamp believed it was the viewer who by giving meaning the object decided it was a work of art. He took art into the realm of ideas and thoughts by ignoring the rules of aesthetic and what is considered to be beautiful works of art. In Duchamp’s first readymade Bycicle

Let’s Dish Is it a store or a restaurant? Peering through the large picture windows you would see nine separate, industrial, kitchen stations; one thing is missing though, there are no ovens. At each station there are two recipes with directions displayed and all the necessary ingredients are enclosed in the fridge’s compartments. Measuring utensils are color coated and each color symbolizes a particular measurement. The main ingredients receive a color-coated utensil and this eliminates some of

On January 1, 2008, four lawsuits involving Brad Pitt were filed in Ohio. The first was brought by Matt Damon against Brad Pitt to acquire quiet title to one-acre of Brad’s land that Matt had cleared and built a barn on. Looking into quiet titles and adverse possession laws will determine if Matt can get title to the land or not. The second case involves Snazzy Jeff, a paparazzo, seeing Maddox, Brad’s son, dropped his Pokémon camera. Snazzy Jeff then came up and took the item hoping to find pictures

The Art of the readymade, a controversial topic both at the beginning of its conception and its duration, was provocative for artists and audiences alike. What made the readymade so provocative was the push by artists to go against one of the foundations of art, the material, and instead focus almost entirely on its conceptual development. In short, a consequence of the readymade according to Helen’s Molesworth was “a disavowal of an ontological definition of art” . A definition previously shaped

In 1917, Marcel Duchamp submitted a mass produced porcelain urinal, dubbed a readymade, into an art exhibition. Duchamp’s actions signaled a proto- postmodern concept while modernism was still prevailing the art world (Kuenzli, Naumann 65). Appropriation of mass produced products and media continued with Pop art of the 1960’s. In continuing this tradition, Richard Prince, whose employment at Time Life provided him with cut up articles and advertisements, began to blatantly appropriate photographs

Jeff Koons builds on the Duchampian tradition of ready-made materials in the production of art. Koons brings the art objects out of mainstream culture and pushes them to their ultimate limit, compared to the ordinary and frequently mass produced objects that Marcel Duchamp reimagined as art objects such as the bicycle wheel and the urinal. For Duchamp however, this act was one of supreme skepticism. As the New York Review of Books art critic Jed Perl explains in his critique of Jeff Koons’ Whitney

R Mutt’s Fountain, is considered one of Duchamp’s most famous works, and “is widely seen as an icon of twentieth century art” . The original, which is lost, consisted of a standard urinal, presented on its back, with “R Mutt 1917” written on the side of it. Although the original was lost, 17 known replicas have been made from glazed earthenware, painted to resemble the original porcelain. R Mutt’s Fountain has been seen as an ultimate example of what Duchamp called a ‘readymade’; an ordinary manufactured

There have been many questions over the years as to what happens after the Doctor walks away, especially when he leaves a messy situation behind such as the tears in time and space at Coal Hill. This is one of the main draws for me, even though I am not part of the demographic for the show I am still finding it compelling viewing as it feels very much a natural expansion of the Whoniverse. Having a couple of episodes drop in our laps in the first week was a wise plan, I feel. Not only did we

We need relationships to help us find out more of who we are as well as we need this relationships to sometimes help to guide us and grow us. This same idea of relationships is illustrated throughout the Legend of Bagger Vance. This example can be found in
