i decided to record the sound of water running. the sink was running while i was washing the dishes and thought what better sound then running water for this class. washing dishes is apart of everyone's everyday life. we are constantly washing dishes over and over. while listening to the sound it reminded me of the sound of rain falling. all that i could think of was snuggling up in a warm blanket with coffee in my hand and a book in the other. how cliche right? anywho enjoy my audio

Broadway Public Art

i was on Broadway in Seattle visiting my cousin the other day and we were on our way to catch a late dinner and out of no where in the store windows there were works of art. it was so crazy. it was kinda dark so the displays stood out like a sore thumb.
thinking about it this would have been a totally cool project to do because these works of art are in a place that is part of the everyday and to display it in store windows makes a statement.
these artists use different mediums to display their art. there was this one display that used strings of light to produce the artwork. the string of lights were placed in a way that formed an octopus in an ally way. i wish i could find more pictures but i didnt have my camera and i dont know where online to look.
anyways just digging deeper in to the way these works of art are displayed, one could walk down broadway and just think that every store is the same when all of a sudden BAM! these displays are there. in a place that is out of the ordinary. and is apart of our everyday life.

Diet Coke

The rock was probably lying in the Clear Channel parking lot in Seattle, or perhaps in the produce aisle of a grocery store. 'Baby, you're so sweet.' Isn't he sweet? And he also bought a liter of Diet Coke. She's a guy's gal if there ever was one. How's the adage go? Never trust a woman.

Improv Everywhere

wearing clothing almost identical to the Best Buy's uniform, the agents would not claim to work at the store but would be friendly and helpful if anyone had a question.

Its interesting to think about this as a sort of political statement because we are all so used to this idea of associating a certain thing to something; in this case blue polos and khakis are associated to Best Buy employees. so to dress up like one can be saying that anyone could be one without being one? haha... yeah what do you guys think?
