Final Creative Work: Everyday (12/21)

The accompanying video is a collage of found sound and found art. The pieces are familiar to me and may also be familiar to you. I’ve taken them from our previous assignments in which I have chronologed my everyday experiences. But, you may also recognize these pieces from your own everyday lives. With this class on arts in the city, I have learned to look at art in new ways and see that there is artistic potential in all things. Taking inspiration from the composer John Cage’s piece “4’33”” I used this piece to exhibit everyday sounds that I experience to complement my visual piece. I hope you all enjoy and see something in it that reminds you of a moment you have experienced.
