Fereshteh Toosi
March. 20 St.Mary's college
Fereshteh's art session was fun and interesting. Especially I liked the "Saddam's birthday" movie piece for the 5th anniversary of Iraq and the US war. I couldn't not just laugh at her art, it was more than art. I never thought that art can make differences in a human society. But, her piece actually make us not only to enjoy the beauty of the piece, but also think about our society and ourselves. Apparently the artist planned it with that purpose, but my impression from the piece is that she is not pushing but letting us to think about it again.
As she inroduced, Sol Lewitt said, "The idea is that makes art." I think I can understand at least a little bit, in the present point. Fereshteh also mentioned about new media artists. Its principles are interactivity, algorithmic processes, networking, and reproduction, while conceptual works and earth works are process-oriented.
New media allows us a lot of possibilities in doing art. We can more freely express our ideas and also communicate with our audience. Art is not anymore one-way produced, but also multi-way produced and accepted between the artists, audience, and it will inspire the whole society to be changed. We should do more art, then.
