A quick update that for now, UCSC is behind me. Had my Mom take this picture up by the squiggle:

And also, this new Sigur Ros track from their new album, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, somehow sums up the past few days:

Yesterday was open studios here at UCSC, meaning that as as Art major, I’m just about done with this quarter. Rock. I’ve been working on two big projects - the photo series that I’ve already posted images from, and a computer-art piece that’s slightly hard to explain. I made a huge digital frame, hooked it up to flickr and skype, and made a slideshow of all images uploaded from cellphones. You then call in to this frame, control the images, and “vote” which one is your favorite. Sounds simple, but really took about a month and a half of coding. Maybe I’ll post what that all looks like just to scare some people.

The general lack of attention paid to this blog can pretty much be blamed on two art classes. As one of them results in something I can’t really put online, here’s some recent pictures from the other. planes! cars! ducks!

As of today, I’m a double art/film digital media major. Awesome. Quite the ordeal, I have to say. College 8 was a bit of a punk about it, and the film department was just plain silly at times. All and all, the art department rocked, and was strangely efficient. Weird.

Definitely glad I’ll never have to do that again though. Unless I decide to minor in Molecular chemistry or something. Who knows.

next up, my final for art 119.
enjoy.
