Research one of the artist/writer contributors from Visualizing Social Medium Artist Writing (list of artists below). Write a paper and create a supplementary slideshow of their artwork.
- Paper addresses the following:
• Who is the artist? Where are they from/currently living?
• What does the work look like and how is it interesting to you?
• What is their educational background?
• What concepts is the artist dealing with through their work?
• How do you think the experience of seeing their work in person would differ from just viewing it in an online format?
• What type of digital processes do they use? If none, are there any analog processes this artist employs that reminds you of the digital processes you are learning in class?
• What materials do they use?
• What type of analog or hand processes do they use?
• How does their work or art practice relate to one or more of the readings for class?
• Feeling ambitious? Reach out to your chosen artist and ask them about their art practice, how it has changed during this pandemic and thank them for making their work!
