Im sure it was quite obvious that I was very nervous while doing my performance art piece. I am just glad it is over and it didnt go to horribly. I think everyone did such a great job. Some of the things people did were so creative. I guess we are supposed to recap what we did so yeah. I was trying to go for a technology keeps me in a safe not having to really connect with people bubble. Also that it trapts us and we dont really communicate the way peopel used to in the past. I dont know if that came across. I stuck bubble wrap signs on me with all of the different technology that i use and then wraped myself in a big piece of bubble wrap then I went to check my mail. While all this was going on a song called Soundtrack of My Life by Less Than Jake was playing. The song lyrics were actually relivent to the point I was trying to get across but Im not sure people could understand them only hearing them one time. Here they are:
I'm on a mission
To see what’s been missing
My favorite song is on repeat
But it’s just not helping me
My eyes have been wider but never been brighter
Something else is going on
I need a reminder of why I feel this way
There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I've been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I'm pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
I still believe in
Facing all my demons
And everything that people promise
Everything I’ve always wanted
My mouth has been open
My words have been stolen
It may have been used against me
It’s starting to affect me
And now I feel this way
There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I’ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I'm pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
And it goes like this…
And it takes me back…
And it spins around
And round and round
And round and round
And it goes around
And always leads to black
There’s a fine line between
Living a lie and feeling alive
There are times that I’ve been
Looking from the outside in
And here I go again
Falling behind losing my mind
I'm pretending it’s alright
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
Wo-oh
Listening to the soundtrack of my life

of course you had to use the photo with my butt to the camera lol, no you did a fantastic job here... GIRL! :) i really liked your idea and i thought the bubble wrap was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAlthough the entire pieces were composed of bubble wrap, it became complex in a neat way. How the bubble wrap became this material that was suffocating in a way and how it became a part of your physical being. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was very creative and I like how you put the music lyrics in your blog. It was definitely a significant and powerful statement. I totally got it as you were presenting it and I thought you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your idea. i loved that you used bubble rap to constrain yourself. i think you did a really good job!
