I am not honestly a big fan about technology and the human body combing together. When I watched the video I was actually kind of disturbed. I actually didn't finish the video because of what I saw. The reason that I was disturbed is because it just doesn't look natural. When something looks unnatural to me like tampering with a human body with technology, I do get disturbed.
In a way I think that is going to far. I don't mind having technology combined with our clothing. That does not bother me at all but having wires or whatever inside of you just doesn't seem right to me. If it were for medical reasons, then I won't have much of a problem with that. This is also how I feel also about media arts as well. I just don't think that it is necessary.
For my altered book project, I used my sophomore year book. You might be wondering why. That was not a great year for me during high school for many reasons that I don't want to talk about. What I did is that I cut out half of the pages out of the book. I will explain later why I did that. Then I spray painted the back cover all black.
After that I used normal white paint to draw cracks all over the back cover. This idea came from my egg project back at the beginning of the semester. The black cover represents my fears and the unknown. The white cracks represent that when I get beaten down by fear I always try to overcome it. In other words the cracks represent that I will run into obstacles in the future but I will not break. The cracks also show that even sometimes in the unknown I get an idea on what will happen both good and/or bad.
In the front cover I glued a picture of the "stain-glass" I've created back in round the robin project. This represents me on how I portray myself to others. The blended shapes represent the different interests that I have and the bright colors represent on how I like to help others in a way. I remember last week that my friends and I went to this event called "Speech Night" at a theater downtown. After the event one of my friends lost his keys back in the theater and he did not realize it until we got back to the parking lot at campus.. My consensus got the better of me so I went with him. Good thing that I did because I found them when he was about to give up searching.
The pages represent my history and personality. It shows how I portray myself to others. The reason that I cut out the other half is because it is suppose to represent my future and the unknown. Questions go through my head. Will I be like the same way I am now? Am I going to succeed in the future? Usually stuff like that is what I think about.
How the book might change me? I don't think that the book will change what I am because I like the way that I am. There of course there are some things that I like to change though. For example, I am a procrastinator. That is probably one of the biggest things I would like to change. Overall, though, I don't think that I won't change or change that much. Who knows, though, what will happen in the future.
