Week 3
Hi blog!
What another fantastic week, but the star of the show was the Venice Biennale. I felt really lucky to have gotten to the Biennale with the class this weekend, it was a total life bucket list. Some favorites (in no particular order)
- Japan. To be completely honest, I was not completely sure what was going on, but I found it completely captivating and almost eerie. I thought that the teleprompter typography, the 3D rendered visuals mixed with documentary style videos encapsulates what I have experienced as “AI” generated art- without being AI generated.
- HUNGARY (this has to be my winner) – No is more… what a perfect thesis statement to convey the feelings architects are having towards market demands. Cheaper, bigger, better. I thought it was a captivating (and meta) depiction of burnout and how creative dream and aesthetic is often sacrificed in the reality of work. There were so many layers to the instillation- one touch that I especially loved was the wires intersecting in squares on the ceiling- putting the user who walks through the space literally into a 3D computer model as in a life size scale
I will never forget our afternoon at the Bienalle!
