The Web Is Dead. Long Live The Internet.


The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet

Two decades after the birth of the World Wide Web, it faces a decline. This is a result of simpler, sleeker services such as apps.
Who’s to Blame: Us
As much as we love the open, unfettered Web, we’re abandoning it for simpler, sleeker services that just work. 
by Chris Anderson
Who’s to Blame: Them? 
Chaos isn’t a business model. A new breed of media moguls is bringing order — and profits — to the digital world. 
by Michael Wolff

My Response: 
 My response to this article is that the web will never die. I agree with Chis Anderson that we do  greatly rely on apps, but this is only for there connivance. Blackberries, and IPhones make the internet easily accessible through the tough of one button. We will always need the web as it is a key source for finding information, sharing ideas, and communicating throughout the world.

Art Liberates


The work I have created above reflects how art is liberating and inspiring to me. The individuals I have selected in my work are all figures who I admire; Jackson Pollock, the Beatles, and Marilyn Monroe. What inspires me about these individuals is how they separated themselves from conventional forms of art and music in the creation of something original.  
I chose to take this course because I am very interested in using the computer as a creative medium, but have little experience and knowledge with the artistic software programs available. What I want to achieve from this course is the extensive knowledge of media software programs, and the ability to use them in the creation and expression of my own artistic ideas.
