Consider this a tag for a better idea, my voice is maybe too midwestern and the image is just unclear enough but:
From a class project, everyone gave each other a piece (I got a series of photographs, among other things) that we had to make a new piece out of. I like to think of this dreadful looking kid:
I think what appeals to me about print making and the other media I respond to is that unlike other forms like drawing, or painting even more so, the product isn't sacred. The image can be precious but its physical form is reproducible. It allows for more room to experiment (digital video the most, print making processes are pretty involved and sometimes arduous)
In between other projects I've been distracting myself with these goofy things, quick repetitive video and the associated sound that I process in a variety of ways. Mainly I just speed it up and recombine it and then speed that up or slow it down and combine it again and keep at that until I have something I'm happy with. These things seem to turn out better than my regular projects. eh.
but doesn't it make sense because birds are these strange robots by accident anyway?
