Surveillance Capitalism

 

A concept in political economics which denotes the widespread collection and commodification of personal data by corporations. This phenomenon is distinct from government surveillance, though the two can reinforce each other. The concept of surveillance capitalism, as described by Shoshana Zuboff, is driven by a profit-making incentive, and arose as advertising companies, led by Google's AdWords, saw the possibilities of using personal data to target consumers more precisely.

Camera Angle

Eye Level

An eye-level shot is the most basic type of shot and involves simply picking up a camera or video recorder and taking a straight-on, eye-level photograph. This technique is the most common shot used by photographers, seen in many casual pictures, such as family photos or vacation shots.

High Angle

A high-angle shot involves taking a photograph from someplace above a subject at a diagonal angle. This type of angle may make a subject look smaller or even childlike.

Low Angle (Worms Eye)

A low-angle shot is the opposite of the high-angle shot. In a low-angle shot, the photographer is below the subject and takes a photograph looking up at the subject. This angle is often used to make a subject appear larger, taller or more powerful.

Bird's Eye

This type of shot is similar to the high-angle shot in that the photographer is situated above the subject. However, unlike a high-angle shot, a bird's eye shot looks straight on at a subject rather than using an angle. This type of shot is used to achieve very dramatic images.

Slanted

A slanted shot, or dutch tilt, is where the camera is tilted to the side to give the horizon a unique, angled appearance. This is a popular shot for movie stills and in magazines as it portrays a hip, edgy feeling in the photograph

Camera Movement

Camera Point of View (POV)

Close-Ups
A close-up (abbreviated "CU") is when the camera focuses on just one character's face or other part of him, taking up the entire frame. These shots are used often when a character is talking, because it puts the viewer in an almost face-to-face context. When the camera zooms directly into part of a person's face or body, so that the frame shows nothing but his body, this is an extreme close-up, or ECU. Going in the opposite direction, a medium close-up (MCU) is halfway between a standard CU and a mid-shot--which shows part of the scene and the subject.

Wide Shots
Wide Shots Abbreviated (WS) give a great view of the entire area your subject is standing in, and you can see the person's entire body against the backdrop of his setting. As the camera zooms out, making the person almost unrecognizable but giving a good view of the entire area, it becomes a VWS, or very wide shot. Finally, an extreme wide shot (EWS) takes the camera out so that you can't even see the subject, but gives the viewer a clear picture of where the viewer is supposed to be--these are generally used as establishing shots. VWS are generally taken from cranes, so they're sometimes called crane shots, and EWS can be taken from helicopters and called aerial shots.

First Person POV
The first-person perspective is a useful way to put the audience almost directly in the character's shoes. The POV shot is pretty much what the character would see--as if she is actually holding the camera herself. POV, meaning point-of-view, shots are often used to heighten the intensity of a scenario.

Day 12

 When the Virtual meets the Physical: Bio Bots

 “These are novel living machines,” Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research, said in a statement. “They’re neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It’s a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism.”

[2min 02sec]

Biobots

The field of Biobots is relatively new and has a variety of ideologies from animal brains controlling robot bodies, animal bodies being connected to electronics and new lifeforms being designed with new technologies.

3d Design and 3d Printing

 
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to guns to human tissue.

Our Makerbot 3D printers work through additive manufacturing. This is accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to build up a 3d structure.

3D models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.

Getting your ATC set up for Augmented Reality

 

* How to split an image into 6 layers
 

Step 1 - Open your flattened artist trading card in Photopea (or Photoshop). This will be your background(trigger) image in Artivive.

 

Step 2 - Duplicate the base layer to create a copy on a second layer. Use the 'eraser tool' and/or the selection tools to delete the aspects of the image that you don't want to see on that plane.

Step 3 - Repeat 'Step 2' until you have six total layers

Step 4 - Save your image as a PSD file

 

Step 5 - Go to 'File' --> 'Export Layers'. Use the following settings.

 

 

 \

Look for a ZIP file in the downloads folder

 

 

 

 

 

Doubble click the ZIP to open a folder. Inside the folder will be your PNG layer files!

Project 3 Artist Trading Cards

description:

For this project you will be creating 'Artist Trading Cards' also known as ATCs. The creation of ATCs by artist comes from a long history of artists trading small samples of their work with other artist or were sold to make a little extra cash. They were very popular with Impressionistic era artists. The cards are generally 2.5" x 3.5" big and are either unique or are created in small editions.

 

example links:

ATC Wike

ATC collection

 

whats due:

- 8 different Artist Trading Cards, 2.5" x 3.5" in size at 180dpi.

- Each card shows examples of your ability to manipulate images using Photopea

- Each card should have a total of at least five layers. Three layers of people places, and/or things, one texture layer and one layer of color.

- All your cards files need to be uploaded as flattened 'jpegs' to the Google class assignment album.

 

What should you do?

This is an open project. Be creative, express yourself. Find your style, create something retro-cool, urban chic, surreal abstraction, whatever, just create 8 images you are proud of.

 

First due date: Wed April 12th, by the beginning of class.

Your 8 images uploaded to the class Google Albums. Label your card files with your first and last name and a number.

Example - joevonstengel-1.jpg, joevonstengel-2.jpg. Save as JPEG file format.

 

Second due date: day of the Final

Layout your artist trading cards as 8 ups. Print your two best cards 16 times each. Cut them out and sign them. Have them ready for the final
