CONTEMPORARY ART

WHAT IT IS
MY UNDERSTANDING OF CONTEMPORARY ART


NUMB

This picture
was taken last saturday during our History of New Media class
using my 3.2mp Sony Ericsson K770i phone camera.
The task was to go out for 5 minutes
and find something related to contemporary art.

This was what i found.
Subject: Street Lamp
Category: Expressionism and Photo realism
Title: Numb

Contemporary art to my own understanding
is all about expressing what u have in mind and presenting it in any means using any of the element of design.

The title " NUMB " i pick was to express what i feel about the life of us humans
in today's world. We work and get busy till we forget about nature and the purpose of living.
The subject symbolizes a human,
putting himself at work the entire life, but forgetting nature ( the tree and sky ) and the beauty of human creation itself ( the building ).

Angle of this composition was
to create distance between the main subject and the background.
The depth of field can't be revealed because of my camera phone which focuses automatically and made the picture flat and not focusing the main subject.

DIGITAL DESIGNER

ONE OF MALAYSIA'S GREAT DIGITAL ARTIST
HE IS INTERESTING


EE VEN SOH

This guy by the name of
Ee Ven Soh
who was born on December 29th 1986 is one of the digital artist born in Malaysia that i have spotted.
His creative fields are in
illustration, graphic design and digital art.
After high school, he took Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 2007, then he went for the student exchange program doing the same course at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2008 and after that went back to his previous university in 2009.
His few main focus were

He then switched to Resn in New Zealand, also an interactive agency, from March 2010 till June 2010. Now, he is with Shift, a Japan-based company in New Zealand.



HARDBASS


The first thing that i love about this artist
is that he is very honest to himself, choosing art as his life tho he has no formal foundation related to art at all. He, a student of computer science felt that the urge and passion of art in his heart is so great that he starts to explore digital art by himself by just looking at other cool digital artist's work and give it a try when he is free during his night time by just refering to tutorials that he can get from the web, reading articles and visiting design news portals everyday.
He only started designing seriously in 2007.
His designs and artwork are one of a kind.
Loving colors, shapes, 3D, balance, perspective and drawings,
he combine it all into his artwork.
His is good at doing photo manipulation, adding those elements in his works and made them interesting while maintaining the original value of the photos.



SPACE OPREA




Lastly, the fact that he is a hardworking guy and
he never fail to give it a try, that's the most impressive quality that i love about him and gives impact to me to also give it a try and keep it up till i gain what best i think i can get from what im doing.
His quote in an interview that i read
"Stay in love with what you believe and stay hungry for knowledge"

NEW MEDIA ART

NEW MEDIA ART



digital art


New media art
is a gerne that uses new technologies including digital art,
computer graphics, computer animation, virtual art, internet art, interactive art technology and computer robotics to produce artwork.
This art works then delivered through telecommunications, mass media and digital modes.


If questioned about the exact time when new media art started, there would be no exact answer for that. It is because new media art started when technology and computer science meet with art, which we do not know when and where the specific date and place that incident took place.


digital drawing

The fun of doing an artwork using this method is that, you can combine any technology to produce wonderful artwork. For example redrawing a figure using a laptop, a software and a drawing tablet. You can just modify the things you want to : the shape and etc.
Another one is that using a camera with slow shutter speed and capture a moving light to create abstract artpiece.
One of the artist in this field who is based in New Orleans, Eric Ehlenberger is doing neon art and sculpture.

slow shutter drawing



One main issue regarding the artwork of new media art is that it is nearly impossible to preserved or documented. This is because, when the technology becomes more advance, our previous technology will no longer be used, which means that the previous artwork with the older format will no longer be compatible to the current technology which uses a better format.
Another issue that pops up between new media art and traditional method art
is that some wants and thinks that the traditional method is much better and meaningful while some say that this new media is better and the traditional method should be make fade in society.

3D modeling & animation

I strongly believe that
having new media art in our daily lives makes our world more interesting day by day as we explore the fantasy of our mind which slowly made visible by this kind of art today.
But by keeping the old method or applying it together with the new method, this should add more value of the artwork created.

To conclude, new media art is very important to step more steps further into exploring the limit of art while preserving the traditional way to make sure that the fine art of human kind would not fade, eaten by time.

GRAFFITI

EXPRESSION OF MIND
GRAFFITI ART


existential graffiti

Graffiti is a kind of art which also is a type of crime.
Why so?
in my personal view, it is so because graffiti is the expression of an idea transferred from the brain to the hand then applied or drawn in the canvas or the walls owned by other people.
In other words, graffiti is an act of marking on other people's property without their approval.

The word "graffiti" originally comes from an italian word "graffiare" which means little scratching. Graffiti started since ancient times when man started to apply their thoughts and ideas on the wall of caves by using stones or medium that leave marks when scratched on a surface.
The American Heritage Dictionary defined that graffiti is a drawing on inscription made on walls or other surface, to be seen by the public ( 2005 ).

The modern graffiti era started in New York which literally given the title "The Capital and Cultural Centre of Graffiti".





tagger graffiti

Graffiti is divided into few categories.
The first one is the tagger graffiti (tagging). This is also known as the street art design covering from the simplest design to the most complex ones.






conventional graffiti

Conventional graffiti is all about applying ideas spontaneously.
Political graffiti is used to deliver or express ideas against establishment and uses the public as audience to communicate to.





ideological graffiti

The ideological graffiti in the other hand not only deliver political messages but also racial, religious and ethnic ideas.





gang graffiti

Gang graffiti is often used to deliver threats of violence or to mark their territory.






existential graffiti

Existential graffiti is about personal commentaries or expressive graffiti which is divided into few subcategories depending on the theme such as sexual, radical, love, religious, self, non-sexual, philosophical and humorous.





piecing graffiti

Piecing is an expression to decorate names and it demands artistic skills and good knowledge of handling aerosol paint. This technique needs better skill and more sophisticated style than of a tagger.

Graffiti is usually placed or painted on both public and private property such as both the inner and the outer part of the train, buses, transit station and shelters.

During the early period, the competition of graffiti is all about fame and quantity. It all changed during the second period, where style is the most important element to rank yourself in the graffiti world.






TAKI 183

One of the famous artist that started graffiti art is called TAKI 183, specialized in tagging, who is a Greek American boy named Demetrius.

This type of art has been giving huge impact on society in terms of ideas and the way they act when confronting it. Before, the society hated graffiti so much for it destroys their property and they have to use a large sum of money to repaint and repair their belongings. As time passed by, the society slowly begin to appreciate graffiti and accept it as an art. The elements of graffiti is also used wodely in the advertisement and music industries related to hiphop music and are able to make good money out of lt.

To conclude, graffiti is mainly about telling the public about feelings and the technique and creativity upon applying it so that the message that it carries will be able to reach the minds that come to contact with it accurately.
