Object Oriented programming

When discussing programming in class and talking about video games, I thought of God of War. God of War is one of my all time favorite games and after you beat each game you can watch a video of how they made it, and I love seeing all the processes and problems they over came. I also like looking at what they kept and what they threw away. But anyways here is a clip from something you could watch after you beat God of War III.

Performance art - Renaissance Fair

So I went to a renaissance fair and made a sign that said "Black Plague." For the entire fair I posed in different spots displaying my sign. Sometimes I would walk behind groups of people dressed like nobles and kings and queens. Peoples over reactions were funny and were mostly mad or happy. The technology is linked to modern medicine and how it has altered or saved many lives. While medicine was very primitive many people died because of the black plague. People do not really think how fragile life would be without the use of modern medicine. I hoped to invoke deep thought in medicine like how much does it really impact your life in the past, present or future and where would you be if you did not have access to medicine that is available today.

Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VCDAUC7D20

Performance art idea #1

My first idea for my performance art piece is taking a non-working camera out to a tourist spot, like the beach. I will have someone film while I ask people to take my picture like many people do while on vacation. When the camera doesnt work, I will throw a fit and become very frustrated and upset that my time on the beach wont be captured forever. The importance of technology will be the use of the camera in everyday life. Does an image really mean that much? Does it take a photograph to really recall your time at a special location? And over all what really defines memories, the photograph or our own conscious?
