Visual Arts, Columbia University, New York

This course examines ways of looking and ways of seeing, both personally & professionally as artists and in a larger cultural context. Through field trips to contemporary art and other cultural sites, conversations with visiting critical thinkers and practicioners, readings, discussions, and visual & written responses, we will examine how we look, think, act, create and respond--critically questioning our own artistic practices and ways of looking at the world.

What Happens? (AR)














































ive been exploring the same theory as in "The Rorschach test (German pronunciation: [ˈʁoːɐʃax]; also known as the Rorschach inkblot test, the Rorschach technique, or simply the inkblot test) is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both."

create mono-prints and then bring out, or render, the images that the ink provokes. im interested in questioning intelligence and what the attention/ perception phenonmenon that occurs when the eyes look at images. in doing so, there is a tension created between abstraction and figuration. also, the disconnect between language and image (Roland Barthes theory of linguistics and structuralism).
