Performance Video





Hues and Saturation :



For this video I recorded myself playing around with paints, ink, lights and fire to achieve a certain visual aesthetic. I was originally going to have a narrative but had a hard time putting my feelings into words. I created the music with audacity + soundation. The audio was probably the hardest part for me since i’m inexperienced with creating music from scratch. Overall a fun project i’m glad I got to do.

Video Link The Color Purple 1985 Comments: This was a good performance that really had my attention , It felt like it was filmed like a movie. The set up, environment, costumes, makeup and filming angles make this visually pleasing. The main woman singing also has a unique voice that lures you in and also compliments her appearance in the scene. You can feel a connection between the main singer and the woman at the table, makes you want to know more about the story. Video Link Comments: In the second video shown for The Color purple (the Broadway edition), we see a more modern spin on what seems to be the same story. The composition of the song being sung about half way through the video, is really well put together.

I do however, like the setup more in the 1985 version since it helps better set the mood in my opinion. Video

Grid Project

Original Image:  Pixelated:  Project:          Cut out construction paper, used post-it notes to create perfect square then pasted it to the wall with double sided tape. Tried my best to keep everything aligned. Original was 17 x 17 (289) squares, cut mine to 16 x 16 (256) after I ran out of time, space and life. The most time consuming part was definitely matching all the colors to the paper.

Joyce Atallah FMX 211 Art & Technology           Dido and Aeneas is a well known passionate and innovative Opera composed by the English Baroque composer Henry Purcell. It’s first documented performance was in 1689. His piece was based on the story of ‘The Aeneid,’ a poem by a Roman poet named Vergil. It tells a story of power, politics, love and heartbreak.
