Thursday 10/16 Entry


Installation

I have found that I have a serious issue simply capturing a moment with my camera. I feel like I'm cheating at making art, like my little sister could do what I just did on the automatic setting of her point-and-shoot. Setting up things that I've manipulated or created makes me feel like I'm not that much of a poser. Of course, current photographic technology has made this more and more difficult. So now I need to choose between documenting reality and documenting pseudo-reality. The line gets blurred at interactive art, which appears to be where I'm heading. The artist is documenting what is really happening, but it is under false pretenses. Without the artist, whatever is happening wouldn't be happening.
