My Video Art Project - "Bon Appetit"


My video art piece is titled "Bon Appetit"

My attempt with this video is to make a powerful statement about the cruel and harmful ways in which humans consume meat and fast food.  As a vegetarian and animal rights activist, this video is close to my heart.  I just hope to make a difference in someone's life with this film.  Enjoy :)

Last Class

Our final actual class was comprised of learning more about music and the evolution of it with technology.  I was especially pleased to see Indochine included in this class, as they are a extremely well liked by me.  It's interesting how musical group dynamics can change so much and so easily when there is a death or conflict between members.  This can be seen through Joy Division's change to New Order.  House music was also interesting to learn about.  I for one hate house/techno music, but it was interesting to learn about its origins and historical impact on the music world.


As for my final thoughts on our Art and Technology class...I loved every minute of it.  This was unlike any other class I have been in over the last four years at the University of Tampa.  With graduation only a few days away, I can leave this place knowing I learned many new and necessary things about art and culture.  Being in the art field, this class definitely gave me a strong stepping stone to begin a career in the advertising/production world.  I am so grateful for everything Santiago taught me and will never forget all the crazy classes we had over the semester.
