Today we watched your sweded videos and talked in more detail about remediation. As you go about your daily lives, begin to notice the ways remediation is around you. What examples of remediation do you see, and how do they work? By Thursday, post an example of remediation to your blog and talk about how it’s working. (By working, I mean what kind of work is it doing in the world, for example the sweded videos were remakes of a movie using materials that were just laying around, and they were funny, and they brought the community together, etc.)
Also on Thursday, we will be moving into the next project which is the stencil project. For homework, find an example of graffiti (it can be online or something you find on campus or other places you’re been) and post a picture of it to your blog. Do a short analysis, talking about where the graffiti is, who you think did the graffiti, and what is the message behind it or the reason that person did the graffiti.
Finally, (this part I forgot to remind you of in class!) you should do the next readings, Drucker and Elkins “Preface”, and post 3 questions to your blog for your classmates to answer in class.
If we can’t find a picture of the graffiti but remember the things it said can we use that?
Yes, but see if you can find a picture online that’s similar and post that to your blog so we have a sense of what it looks like.
It’s mainly just political ramblings in the form of graffiti inside a bathroom stall at my high school.
In that case, you could just take a picture of some bathroom graffiti around campus; there is plenty of it.
