Homework: 1) Create an individual blog. 2) Create a post that introduces you and your educational background. Add a few sentences about your experience-level with new media. 3) Post your self-portrait in the sidebar of your own blog. 4) Research a media artist. Write a blog entry about how he/she uses media to create art. Observe carefully and be specific. 5) Research a gallery/museum that focuses on new media and describe their program, the types of media that they employ, and some of their artists. 6) If you decide to keep your blog private, which is recommended, yet not necessary, invite the instructor (using vlogart at gmail dot com) to become a reader of your blog. 7) Add the URL of your blog in the link-list of the class blog (http://newmedianewforms2012fall.blogspot.com). 8) I will sporadically add readings to your homework.
Some general notes: 1) Your blog will serve as your visual journal throughout the semester. You will use it as an archive, as a repository for homework, and as your very own visual journal. Make entries related to our topic along the way; anything that you seem meaningful, be it sketches, drafts, writing, images, videos, links, etc. 2) If you have difficulties with any of these steps, let me know; I am glad to help you and to make myself available either before, during, or after class. Also, please let me know, if you would like my feedback on specific assignments; this is important, so you don't just wait for me to approach you.
