In Rob Ring’s video piece, Ultrahustle Dance Party, the artist dances to the 70’s classic, “Do the Hustle”, playing on repeat for an entire hour in his basement.

In response to Ring’s video, I filmed my mom preforming a similar endurance task to a disco song from her past; the rules were adjusted towards her physical ability.

The Good and the Bad

This video shows the different relationships my roommates have with their parents. My first roommate’s parents are divorced, which he decides to speak about separately, the second struggles to find the positives as he does not like his parents much because they fight all the time, and third makes it sort of flowery because he does not see them often. They were interviewed separately, then reenacted by each other using the audio from the interviews to go overtop.

The Lens – Grace Esford

The Lens explores the relationship my father has to me as well as the relationship I have to the camera. The footage used is appropriated video from my father’s old videotapes that trace my development. Through this, my connection to the medium of video is emphasized.

Bowling Party Art Research

Since we will perform our party art piece at our Bowling Party, Alex and I had to do some research on the location of our piece. So, Alex and I went bowling!

We looked around area and found key features of the Bowling Alley that we can keep in mind when preparing our piece. For example, we made note that we can:

cheer whenever someone buys food or drink
cheer whenever someone takes money from the ATM
cheer whenever someone comes in or out of the bathroom
cheer whenever someone hits a pin
cheer whenever someone misses the pins
cheer whenever someone gets their bowling shoes
cheer whenever someone picks their bowling ball
cheer whenever something happens on the TV in the lounge
cheer whenever someone someone plays pool

Average Point of Interest

The Average Point of Interest in San Francisco is a piece Lee Walton made where he took the mathematical average of all 287 points of interest according to the Official Visitor’s Map of San Francisco. Using the map coordinates of each point, he found that this “average point of interest” is located on Flint Street off 15th avenue near Corona Heights.
