Why God Made Friends

Cute Love Poem By Khahlil Gibran

-

God made the world with a heart full of love,

Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,

Someone to share with, who'll understand.

He made special people to see us through

The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,

Someone we can call a friend. God made friends

so we'll carry a part. Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

Gary Simmons, was born in New York in 1964, lives and works in New York. He is an artist who addresses racial stereotypes in history and pop culture. His often known is sculptor conceptual and erasure drawings. I like his work for “Wake” as shown in picture. By looking at the picture, it looks reflecting the sunshine on the floor that gives me a favorite of simple, easy, but completely presents what WAKE feels.

Charter2 Digital Technologies as a Medium

There are several forms of digital art. I am more in interesting in Virtual Reality and Animation. The following is a short note at my point of contrast and comparison.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that allows a user to interact with a computer simulated environment making a real or imagined one. Like a lot of games of CRPG (Computer Role Playing Game), you can virtually play a role in the game as you are real in the world. See Peter D’Agostino, VR/RV: A Recreational Vehicle in Virtual Reality, it is in a 3D world that simulates a travel along a superhighway by joining scenes from some big cities, and people are sitting from the inside of a computer-generated car.

The other form is animation that is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2D (may be 3D effect sometimes) artwork in order to create an illusion of movement. It could be displayed as a motion picture or video program. The example is that Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe, No Ghost, Anywhere Out of the World from No Ghost, Just a Shell. It presents with special facial attributes which is different from real human being.

The reason I compare these two kinds of forms is that they are kind of opposite. Virtual Reality is trying to simulate a real world and making it as real. It appears the view comes from your eyes. However, animation is trying to simulate people’s behaviors but with the special characters or attributes it can’t look real.
