What if the internet and the cyberspace became the majority part of our experience and eventually took over the analogue aspect of our life? Then by showing the screen shots, people can literally experience the real life of one another….

The featured flash animation is a project I did last year September (from 22nd to 30th to be exact) while taking an alternative media course with Prof. Craig Drennen at SCAD. During the week, the Yankees were picking up their momemtum towards the end of the season, and Hurricane Rita was hitting the United States.
I printed my screenshot manually every ten minutes whenever I was using computer for one week, then putting them together using Flash as a metaphor of the flying-by life. The orignial presentation was a video installation with background soundtrack, in which I projected the animation onto a piece of a facial sculpture made with liquid plastic. The face has a melted look that symbolizes the fact that digital media is rapidly invading our normal cycle of life, and is influencing the value of the human.
Currently I am working on a 6 weeks project, the screenshots are already taken, but my computer is too slow to edit 6-week-load of pictures…= =” I think I would figure out a way eventually.
Well, does this have something to do with watercolor? I think the answer is no, but as an artist that uses computer a lot, I feel I have to get something from it to justify the time it takes from me for painting…
