Tyler Nelson Museum Visit

The Electronic Media Gallery was kinda strange. They were creative in the sense that I have never seen anything like it but I found them hard to watch. The most creative thing in this gallery that I saw was the film of the man walking in slow motion. The film was slowed down so much and the music was really creepy, than the man falls into water. It was pretty cool looking actually when he falls in the water. I'm not sure what or how the authors came up with the ideas in these art exhibits. I think they just wanted to look at the world from a different perspective and through a lens that wasn't there own. In order to do that they used many different camera angles and techniques, such as slow motion, fast motion, zoom in, etc...

Bill Owens Suburbia exhibit was very entertaining. I think that the pictures by themselves were very ordinary and like pictures you would see everyday. What made them creative was the captions that were by them. The captions were very comical and I found myself laughing at many of the pieces of art. My personal favorite was the picture of the Christmas Party. It was hilarious. I think Bill Owens came up with these ideas by just looking at the pictures he had and imagining what kinds of things were going through the minds of the people that he photographed.

  1. my favorite caption was "we lived in our house for a year without any living room furniture. we wanted to furnish the room with things we loved, not early attic of leftovers. now we have everything but the pictures and the lamps."

  2. I like your comment about the Electronic Music Gallery. I like the thought the art is supposed to show us our world in a different way.

  3. My favorite part was the man in slow motion and then falling into the water as well. It was just such a surprising twist.

  4. Yea I think the commentaries really were interesting because he didn't know exactly what each person was actually thinking but he made a care free, up beat guess at what things were like then. That was a huge part of the exhibit.
