Pierre Huyghe

When the concept of art comes to mind, I never thought of what Pierre Huyghe does as an art form, but as I look deeper into it, I have an understanding of why his art and art of the 21st century has come to this point. Art is about using your own creative spirit to express emotions, concepts, senses, etc. in different formats, and as time has past, art has been taking more unique shapes. This is because as we as a society have progressed into the future, we do not feel as stimulated towards the traditional  art that is da Vinci, van Gogh, Michelangelo, etc., so now, artists are able to create new art forms to grab the attention of the everyday person living in the common era. Pierre Huyghe's art symbolizes the fall of traditional art and the "starting point to go somewhere else" (Pierre Huyghe). "Somewhere else" represents art in any form: from puppet shows and amusement parks, to expeditions and parades. Pierre Huyghe challenges artists today to do what has never been done before because the purest form of creativity is making your own medium.

Video Project

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zXGf53K38Xw0s3BheIXTdNmZICmocEs5/view?usp=sharing  For this project, I decided to make a video that resembles a trailer for a horror movie. Because there are so many squirrels on campus, I wanted to make them the scary subject of the film. The footage was taken from plant park, where most of the  squirrels reside. I used iMovie to make the video, and I used audio along with different editing features in the program to add something more than just raw footage to get the horror movie effect that I wanted. I used a combination of video of squirrels, nature, and lights to create a scene that is normally seen in horror films and trailers.

Music

Girl Power: Beyonce Some of Beyonce's most influential and empowering songs for girls and women across the globe are "If I Were a Boy" and "Run the World (Girls)." Not only does she have girl power in her songs, but she herself runs and plans everything that has to do with her career: her concerts, producing her songs, and her music videos. Hip Hop & Rap: Soulja Boy I remember Soulja Boy being especially popular when I was in elementary school and all the sixth graders would listen to his song "Crank Thank" on the bus. This rap song was number 1 on the billboard hot 100 chart in the year 2007. Nineties: Spice Girls The spice girls, a UK girl band, ruled the 90's with their catchy tunes and unique dress sense. The song that most people are familiar with is "Wannabe," with the music video having over 400 million views on youtube. Electronic-Producer/  DJ Culture: Marshmello I would add Marshmello to this category because h

Performance Piece

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X_9lmFgRQElRJPnmYxPrAxRd0movSHCt/view?usp=sharing  I stood outside on a busy intersection with four signs to see what people would honk at. I always see people on the side of the road holding up signs for a protest, or promoting a political cause, or  advertising services, but I have never seen anyone hold up signs that do not relate to anything. Each said "Honk For: Spaghetti, Candles, Lamps, and Camels." The footage in the video was taken over the course of about thirty minutes of standing on the corner of the crosswalk. Not surprisingly, the most popular sign that people chose to honk at was the spaghetti sign, maybe because it was the oddest thing to honk for, or maybe because so many people like spaghetti. At every green light, I would change my sign and hold it up for the people in the passing cars to see. I would watch the people in their cars and I could see some people reading the sign as they passed, laughing at the subject matte
