Performance Art Critiques

Bryan- I think Bryan was brave enough to stand in that vulnerable position half naked. His idea of computers and technology taking over humans was very interesting and related to today's reality. The only thing his missed was the hidden camera to get more reactions.

Spencer- Spencer's video was the best because it was well executed. You could see so many reactions and the funniest part was when the manager or staff member kept staring at the two people that were talking on phones. He also did a good job in decontextualizing his major.

Katelyn- Katelyn's project was also very cool and can be used as a research method to see who actually pays attention to the sign she had instead of the advertisings that were around. The only thing she missed were the reactions that you couldn't see because of the people in cars.

Kirby- Kirby's project was really cute. She outlined a person on the sidewalk and was able to get the attention from a staff member in UT. She also did a good job decontextualing her major.

Ralph- Ralph's execution was mind blowing. I still can't figure out how he created that sand shark but it was truly a work of art. As for his video I just wish there were more reactions to it but it was definitely a cool idea.

Marveen- Marveen's work was also a cool idea but as we all agree the camera should be hidden and the meditating would have been better if it took place in a noisy crowd. People would have definitely been more creeped about it.

Leah- Another cute project. She managed to have a happy and fun day along bayshore. This was so relaxing compared to what she studies that it made it work for her. It would have been better if the camera was hidden but still a great approach to the idea.

Kyle- I think Kyle's was the best project out of all. It was so much fun to see him semi naked working on his laptop and a printer in UT's iconic fountain. He might not been able to get any reactions but people obviously reacted to the point where he was even posted on instagram. Very cool idea and the best setting.
