I will give you two to make up for my lateness...

I'm with you on the ideas of making and doing. "Through the act of making you connect with the world." Performances - esp. participatory performances - to get people thinking and doing would be powerful and could lead to creative solutions to cultural problems.

I watched the DVD tonight! With my mother though, so I fast forwarded. This is her comment - "I don't know how you guys can like all this contemporary stuff, it drives me crazy." She did laugh at one point, wish I could remember which one... Thanks for the rubber band that you put around the case, my cat was very amused by it for 2 minutes.

that chair was provoking me.

Lil & Beth, I like #2 - it sums up the world "multimedia" - also looks as if people are gonna get jumped on which automatically excites people. Pain=excitement.

I'm so sad I'll have to miss it. I am photographing a wedding. Best of luck. Knock 'em dead - or jump on their face! =)

I agree with both Jim and Robin. I were to use it as marketing material I would use 1 for the immediate visual impact. I really like 2 as well, it is fun and demonstrates your work, I would use it as a cover.

You are very talented!!!

I agree with both of these intelligent men. :)

1st one seems to me to have more visual impact and dynamic appeal. The 2nd shows some interesting action, but you have to look for it. I would love to receive one in my mailbox.

2009-10-27T14:25:13.862-07:00

They're both REALLY nice, but I vote for the second one, because a) the first one makes me think that the person on the couch is hurt or in pain, and b) the second one has such a fun surprise to it. It makes me think: "ooh, this is going to be different."

2009-10-22T12:54:49.717-07:00

To me, part of the virtuosity here would be verisimilitude. Here's an analogy. When kids draw noses (like a nose on a face) they draw them like little triangles, right? Little cartoon noses.

Later on, if you take a drawing class or just start drawing more seriously, you realize noses are not triangles at all! They're complex little 3D shapes, full of different shades. So you try to draw a nose as it really appears -- not just sketch out the "nose icon."

So, same thing w/ everyday motions. There's the charades version of a motion -- exaggerated and cartoony -- and then there's the REAL version, w/ all the subtlety and nuance of real life. And I'd call a performance virtuoso if it captured this subtlety -- if it made you go, "ahhh, yes, that IS how people brush their hair! Right!"

(This isn't to say that you can't be a virtuoso at cartoon noses or cartoon motion -- there's definitely a whole different approach that's all ABOUT stylization -- but I think in this context I'd be looking for something that really showed an eye for that real-world detail.)
