RED PORN

Playing around with colour. The original clip was very muted, pastel tones even though a i had bright red lipstick on. I played around with RGB balance and levels to try and make the lips stand out a bit more. Final cut has similar tools to photoshop in this respect so i found it easy to get the look i wanted, although it could be a little less red. I tested the DVD's on a TV earlier and the contrast was ludacris but it turns out it was just that particular TV. phew. A little unhappy with the DVD's, i tried my very best to get them to match up, looping footage and putting similar lip movements at the beginning and end of the dvd's but all of them have a slight glitch.
FCP doesn't like HD footage. I don't like FCP. After watching all the tutorials on the apple website, no, enduring all the tutorials TWICE i still could not burn a dvd, after seeing IT guy he gave me a handout that explained it, missing out 567876 of the steps they tell you to do in the online tutorials. THANK YOU!

this video is a great altered version of the first edit i made. I love that it is essentially the same video it has just been zoomed in and turned around. I put it on youtube, its so moisty and gross like a seacreature. Much like marilyn minter. possibly too much although the display of my work will be vastly different to hers. Hers was situated amongst billboards and advertising, mine will be a little more intimate and less in your face than her work. I feel her work is quite removed from the human body whereas mine looks very visceral but it confuses which body part you are looking at.

Chewing hair. love it. loving the dirty dribble, the moistness grossness and the ewww. I've played around with this a bit because it is quite short, i slowed it down and the feeling is totally different, less abjection and repulsion and more fascination. I played it at 20% of the normal speed and the detail in the hair is incredible! Its almost more painful watching it in slow mo, like the mouth doesn't want to eat the hair and is struggling to do so. In the video above the mouth is ravaging it and chomping it in a frenzied manner. I also tried a video where i had portions of it in this jerky motion and parts of it at 20% speed. Not sure if i like it??? I think when played next to the other two videos it would look better to have one in contrast played at high speed. The other two are at pretty much normal frame rate BUT they do not have the hair in the mouth. So maybe playing the hair one at a range of speeds will tie it in more closely with the other two because of the differing subject matter. geeeeezuz. Oh and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to burn a dvd!!! and i can't do any tutorials because i forgot my headphones. poo poo.

Lots of kisses!

what can i say... i don't know why i did this, i have no concept and no reason for making this other than this;
the anne noble style hair pic looked like a bearing which is what happens when a ewe is lambing and her insides pop out of her vagina. So... after cutting out all the lips to make a montage they started to look so fleshy and pink and gross and overlapping them seems to make it look more disgusting. yay. I like home-made images and graffitti of genitals i find it very amusing. Everyone is just a tiny bit sick in the head and these reveal that. Tim and Matt found these quite hard to look at yet they draw penises at every opportunity. why do people draw penises everywhere it fascinates me?

Anne Noble- Ruby's room 1998-2007
more on ruby's room series here, i HIGHLY recommend looking through all of the pictures to get a better sense of what she is talking about, the significance of time and why the images could be considered sexual.

"Anne Noble has long been acknowledged as a major figure in the evolution of photography in New Zealand, and today she is regarded as one of our most significant mid-career artists....
In a time when so much photography seems conspicuously posed or an artful emulation of the casual snapshot, the dignity, quietude and measured pace of Noble's photographs is strangely arresting and almost always profoundly moving."

Ruby's room 23

Confronting and provocative, innocence of childhood, experiencing things through the mouth. The reaction of the adult viewer... when so many children have been exploited, exhibitions closed for their seemingly sexual content involving children. What is she trying to say? Is it perverse? Is it art? Art school has art written on the side of it now :P
Noble captures her subjects over time; maternal observation. Looking through the series the photos do somehow become more sexual over time. I think the use of lipstick and fishnets has a huge part to play in that, and the tongue ties up with rubber bands from braces is almost a fetish portrait. Her daughter looks around 2 at the beginning of the series (i have no idea really i don't know how big babies are..), so now she must be in her teens. How wrong. wrong wrong wrong its not cute anymore its pornographic. so confused with why people think things are porno or pedo and what not. These pictures aren't exactly adhering to any beauty ideal and nor is the subject, not that beauty equates to art. faaark.

photo shooting lipstick choking

This was not to bad... after gagging the first time i manages to take quite a few photos, some are cool but most are boring glamour shots, one liners. My favourite is the one that is blatantly Anne noble. It looks better turned on its side. I think i will make a montage of lips
i want to be in a magaziiine....

Valie Export

Confronting Voyeurs with a body that returns the Gaze
Aktionshose : Genitalpanik 1969- Performed at a Cinema in Munich
Wearing crotchless pants and weilding a machine gun, wouldn't you be stoked if this creature stormed in to the middle of your porno?

Tapp und Taskino 1968
The curtain rises for your hands, welcoming your touch rather than your gaze. Private show people, 30seconds each and when times up I'll just start staring at you... A bit awkward, being a public place and boob groping is going on. Export just looks at her watch while the action takes place, waiting for it to be over. It makes me think of peoples stories of sex, tired of it and wanting the other person to hurry up... Breaking taboos, sexual acts in public places.
To me the box seems like a child's version of a cinema, children can create anything out of a box. It is quite informal, crafty in its use of materials.

SLACK!

So i haven't written on here in over two weeks, doesn't mean I have been up to fucks. i swear. I lost my precious notebook with all my notes in it about life and art but it is currently in the post on its way back to me (i hope) :(
I Watched Zeitgeist the other day, can't remember if i mentioned that already but its a poorly made film with extreme ideas. Interesting none the less but not really anything to rave about. The thing that most interested me was the whole Jesus phenomenon. I was all like WOAH after watching it but quickly settled back into normal life and mundane thoughts within a day. Amanda doesn;t care enough... maybe because its such a negative film, tell me something fun i can do to make change not something shit that I have overlooked and... and... ?
I did a photo shoot thismorning, i like the pictures but will still see if i can improve them in photoshop. There is boobage and ts embarassing but i think it looks nice so shush.
