ideas on place
well i have to say i was really stumped on this project, but i came up with an idea and ive been going with it. im doing a more abstract take on home as a place. im doing a painting on a wood panel with 3 planes on the side, one completely black, one cut out of tracing paper, and the last just an outline. the top of the board has light blue and white paint dripping down. im not quite finished, and im not really sure what else to add. the planes signify living close to an air force base and always seeing planes in the sky and hearing the testing of bombs. it became one of those things you dont notice because youve been around it all your life, but when you move away its something you miss. the transition of the planes represent once crisp and clear memories slowly fading.

Victoria Vesna P. 284
1. How does Vesna incorporate place as a theme?
What sort of media does she use?
What is her targeted audience?
2. Vesna seems to be interested in technology and how it affects time and daily life. Trying to read about this work and fully understand it is near impossible because it seems as though the process and installation need to be experienced in real life to grasp the concept.
3. From what I have gathered, she's referring to time and connections made in cyberspace as a place.
I infer that she created a program which maps these connections out in to a pattern after the data has been inputed.
Anyone who has been distracted from their goals and daily tasks by the internet.
4. How is her work meant to be viewed?
Is it actually interactive while it is being shown?
Is it a movie, or a stagnate image?

Skip Schukmann Pg. 34
1. What does Schukmann mean by clients?
What is his meaning of onement?
What kind of artist does he consider himself as?
2. Reading through this article, I can tell Schukmann wants to have a deep relationship with nature and really try and steer away from the industrial aspect of life. I feel that with this he is preserving the sort of ancient connectivity with organic life that is now becoming extinct. He works primarily from nature, using modern tools as least as possible.
3. "Client" is the word Schukmann uses to refer to his audience. He wanted to choose a word that conveyed a deeper relationship on a more intimate level--sort of a personal teacher-student relationship.
He refers to onement as the physical and mystical interconnectedness of all things. He would like to give his clients a feeling and deeper understanding of the concept with nature.
I believe that in a way, Schukmann doesn't consider himself an artist at all, but more of as a mentor. His work is more about the message he is trying to convey and building a relationship between himself, his client, and the environment, rather than finished producted.
4. Has Schukmann worked with any other material in the past?
Has his main concentration been sculpture forever, or has he dabbled with any other medium?
When does he know his piece is completed?
