This video is very different from the other ones I've made all year. I'm reading from a poem, I'm super dressed up, and I'm pretty sure for the final I'm going to perform. The reason I picked this poem is because in the poem the women's father has a mansion. In Bolton hill I live in a mansion form the 1800s and was made around the same time the poem was written.

I wanted to go back to making a video about me doing something simple, painting a sign.I considered the shots, transitions and wanted to edit it well. All the small things that happen are important even if nothing happens.

I changed this video form last week by putting much less appropriated footage. My idea before was to mimic the music videos of the songs playing, with color matching and similar editing. But I'm not as interested in that as much as my friends and how they act towards this music.

ok heres the new stuff.
I am thinking more about making more open "viewing tubes"
I want to be able to command the spaces without having actual tubes.
these pieces are becoming more about forced viewer relationship to space than relationship to memory.
revelation: the actual videos are not important.


Christina Panteliodis -dealing with space






for the last few weeks i've been trying to deal with capturing or molding space much like walls in a buildings i also wanted to keep an interactive element with it much like the plaster stepping blocks






The last two images are where i started but i wasn't to crazy about the access space maybe it was to distracting to i tried to re adjust it so it was more straight forward

A new party video. But this time everyone was listening to nostalgic 1995-2004 music so I put in clips from music videos. For parts I wanted it to look like a music video so I changed the colors and did quick cuts. But I'm not sure about it now. I think I'm going to change it to focus on character and groups.

In the week of april 6th I was working on making some sort of wax dome to place over my objects.
I was having trouble figuring out a way to make them present but difficult to see so i created a mold out of tape to form the shape i was looking for.



However, it was a disaster and ended with wax on my floor. After scraping it up I had a pile of wax shavings.




For the next week I decided to type up the story of one object and print it out multiple times. Then i cut up the words and scrambled them around so they alluded to the event but a viewer could still not make complete sense of the event- much like the dark hard to see photographs.




To move this idea further i used the text as a base for the actual objects and bought black and white colored sand to pour into a pile over the object so i can also not be seen except for the top poking out from the pile.

This week I made a "path" and walked on the dirt casts I made until all of them had broken down significantly. It took 20 minutes and I have a video of this process also.

Amanda Horowitz

revisiting stills and images from the first half of the semester. I will be using them in combination with more intentional sets and scenarios in a stop motion. This seems like the best time base for this work to take, because it shows how the materials can be activated in a literal and expansive way.






Some work in progress: moving away from the "wall and pedestal" and trying out different combinations and relationships between new materials such as latex medical gloves, medical gauze, and cotton bed sheets etc...also trying to work with a set grid.

my pieces have been too analytical and planned.
Im taking a step back and redirecting how I am making my work.
I need to loosen my thought process so I can actually create things and let it speak for itself.
