Psychogeography #2 (continue)





 My favorite picture from this assignment will have to be the picture of these two fences with a thin spiderweb hanging faintly in the middle. The light may not hit the web at a good angle but I have to say it is the one that interests me the most.

Psychogeography #2





Honestly I had no clue of what the theme was for this psycho geography assignment but when I started taking picture of anything I understood a bit of the concept. Some things just can't be explain till you find out for yourself. I may not have completely understood the whole concept I think I may have a pretty good idea. After running around my whole neighborhood I have finally chosen some of the pictures that fit into the concept.

I had completely forgotten!

I have to admit high school is pretty stress full! Going to the community was super fun! I had a great time and learned a lot even though I'm not an actress. I can definitely say I was super nervous about dancing in front of people but if I am going to look ridiculous in front of people might as well have fun right? Acting is not that easy and I really give credit to all the actors and actress out there because that is some serious skill! To be able to think and improvise front the top of your head can get quite award when you don't answer fast enough to make the conversation smooth.
This episode of The Prisoner would have to be the best I have seen so far. I thought it was hilarious when he went into his dream and tricked them and toyed with them. I really have to say he is a genius. he is also very observant to remember Number 14 being an old lady. He is very serious but I can see he enjoys mocking all of the Number 2s.

Looking through a window

Looking through a window


I decided that I would take pictures of what I see on the other side of windows because it affects my mood at times. when I'm at school and i just see trees I would usually get bored but if I see the city I'm usually more awake. Some of the pictures taken from when I was on a train in China and others were taken from my house. Ever go in the car and when your looking out the window you become mesmerized? Well that's what always happens to me and i usually end up falling asleep all the time.

Starting over....

The Pantoum we did did week was fun but quite embarrassing. It was pretty fun and easy to write but to make it sound poetic and easy to dance to was definitely not the easiest thing to do int the world, sorry about that Ilana. Also as you can see I'm not the worlds best dancer and poet but i tried.
Much to my surprise I enjoyed The Prisoner a lot this week, maybe its because there was more going on. I saw lots of symbolism in this episode but didn't realize about the circle till people started recognizing it. I am still confused that he would trust women so easily but maybe it's because number two made it seem like she was running away. But I still can't believe that he went through all that trouble and ended back in the village. It must be really aggravating for him.
I was really disappointed we had to restart the whole game  but I think that it will make the upcoming game very interesting. Also its a good idea to get other people that are not in STAC to play so they can try it out. Lots of people think that STAC s just for singing so i think this will give them an idea about what we do.

The Beginning of High School

I really can't believe I am in High School now. Let me just say that these people are tall and quite intimidating. It was so confusing I would just walk around hoping thehall I go down is the one where my  class is. I was actually really excited for STAC. Some of the members were really friendly and some acted quite crazy but they are pretty funny at the same time. I guess as freshmen we look quite small to them. As for the teacher I can totally say that he is true to the bone.
When I first walked into the room everyone knew each other and there was so much stuff going on. As I looked around I saw everyone was so different but they all had this one thing that flowed trough all of them and that would be the talent. I guess thats what STAC is all different people that come together to learn from each other. When I read the STAC code it was totally true, we are like everyone else so what applys to everyone else doesn't apply to us. All I can say is that i am so glad to be part of this.

Art In Colors

It has never came across my mind that art can be easy, creepy, cool, and coloorful at the same time. Colors don't always have to match and the more oppisite they are the longer that image last in your mind. The messier  the better; the more unmatched the more special. I can say that I don't think this class will be like any class I have had before.

The Prisoner

The setting of this episode was unique and unusual. i think the whole point of the town was so it would be like a utopia and wait for him to get paranoid and crack. The beginning was pretty good but towards the end i think they extended it to long. thats just my opinion.
