AAARGH

EEEK ! I'm up at 1 AM trying to put this f@#$%&* Powerpoint together and it's just not happening !

Boxes


Painting of mine I did last year for my Year 13 folio I'd like to continue with this sort of collage / mixed media work.

Montage

This Montage is about 'Social Isolation' and living in your own private world. Images = www.anthonygoicolea.com and infringe copyright. Spoken word = Joy Division " Transmission"

Montage Storyboard



Basic plan for Montage sequence with a section of Joy Divisions' 'Transmission' lyrics as a voiceover.

" We would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.
"

Twelve ?

Well its been a long 12 weeks now. 12 cold monday mornings, 12 struggles to get out of bed, 12 drawn out lectures, 12 new lecturers (well maybe not 12 but certainly a few), 12 wasted tutorial times, 12 homework tasks.

And the result ... this bangin' blog !

Copyright Infringement ?

I think i may have breached copyright law in my montage sequence using another artists photographs. Im not entirely sure but will risk it for the sake of the exercise =)

Flickr / Youtube

After reading the Youtube Fair Use Classifier and the License on Flickr I have decided I do not want to now or in the future upload any of my images/videos onto either site as I do not want them in the public domain.

Copyright Case Studies

Case One:

George Harrison whether he knew or not did infringe on copyright as the melody / chordal structure and tempo are very similar. It may have been a subconscious accomplishment but still needs to be recognised as a copyright infringement.

Case Two:

It is obvious that the concept of Lebbeus Wood's drawing of the chair Neomechanical Tower (upper) Chamber has been appropriated and used in the film '12 Monkeys'.

Case Three:

Keir Smith's 'OH SO CRIMINAL' blatantly appropriates numerous iconic images from popular culture. In my opinion placing these images in this particular context creates somewhat of a parody. Under Copyright Law this work is clearly 'Illegal'.
