My website is parading an American fastfood restaurant, Arby's.
In an imagining situation, Arby's comes to Korea in order to Americanize Korean food in a realistic and creative manner.

Fereshteh Toosi's Talk
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.

Chris Coleman's Talk - Incident Report
Chris Coleman's Talk
March 7. St.Mary's college
His session was quite interesting. He showed some of his video clips and graphics and three dimensional objects. Particularly, I liked his first smoke coming out from factories. The repetition and changes of the patterns of smoke reminded me of breathing the smoke of cigarettes in and out, and it sounded like an unknown creature's breathing. He explained that this piece represents the dispersing hope rather than producing or sucking in, even though the whole scene looked so much polluted, and it also represents never-ending deluge, controlled breathing, and complicit in the process. Actually he didn't have to explain fully because it limits the audience's chances to think about the art piece. They will just accept the artist's ideas but not think about it after then.
He also said art should be criticized and also giving questions to audience. But finally the last action is upon the audience. Sometimes, it's hard to discover what an art work means to us without basic information about it. Well, I'm not sure we can just put art in a box like that.

John Baldessary's Talk

John Baldessary's art session was interesting and relative to what we have learned - Dadaism and conceptual art. He showed a video clips of the back of the trucks passing by Los Angeles. It represents the movie culture in Los Angeles, and it comes to me as realism art of California. He also mentioned that in L.A. art is used as social and political aspects by showing or using the way of breaking rules. If you believe the concept of art, then the piece will be art, but if you don't believe it, then it's not art. This gives me a strong impact because the whole concept of the art is totally relying on the audience.
Nowadays more and more, language and materialism are engaged with pop art. The words, reorganization and desensation are getting popular in art. Language is no longer only a device to communicate but can be an artistic device, which is a fascinating idea for me. No matter a list of the words, or just some random characters, makes sense or not, the language itself can be art.
I used to think that art is something we draw, make, hear, touch or show, but also our daily item, not only material stuff but also language, custom, tradition or folk culture, and so on, everything can be art. This was a eye-widening information. Everything can be art - I like that!
