1. Do you think these performances are art? Why or why not? (our group)
Yes, they are art because they make us think about everyday life in a new way. We define art as the product of human creativity and these performances fit our definition.
-Art is a relative term, we have a loose definition
-Gives a new meaning to sound as an art form
-Music is “talking” to you while sounds are “activity”
-Takes us away from expectations
-Not all “music” has to be created, some is already there in nature, people just fail to recognize it
2. Now that you have seen several performances, do you see Anne & Kasey's performance in a new light why or why not?
- interactions are guides by expectations
-how does performer sets these expectations? what else sets our expectations?
-other people around us
-authority figure
-interactions are guided by expectations
3. What do Jon Cage, Flash Mobs by improv everywhere, and Anne & Kasey's performances have in common?
-there was a shock factor
- a lot to do with the reaction of the audience
-minimal activity
-confused when Anne & Kasey's where completing there performance
-diversion from their expectations
4. Why do i believe Jon Cage's "4'33" paved the way for improv everywhere?
- based around what people didn't expect
-shattering people view of normal performance
-center around a lack of movement in time and space
- if everyone was dancing then
-viewers expectations and audience participation become a part of the art work
5. How is this relevant to art design?
-simplicity
-deign try to grab peoples attention, so by being quiet or still allows you to grab attention
- allows people to give different perspective and views
-"listening to Beethoven all the same but when listening to traffic its all different"
