DJ SPOOKY

Paul Miller presents his book, Rhythm Science, in a totally new fashion. I was a tad bit confuse with language mainly because of his different style of writing though it's very "creative". This different style of approaching readers is very fascinating. I find the hole in the middle to be mysterious. It serves a purpose but yet I'm still trying to understand or find a interpretation of Miller's intention of the hole in the middle. Along with that, the green pages of illustration. The playboy bunny seems to be repetitive. What's the significance of this bunny?

The language that he wrote in made me have this image in my head. In this image he is on stage with his turn table and remixing his musics/free styles. To me the music/free styles are the words in his books. This reminded me of my friend who is does some dj-ing and free styling. The techniques of speaking are similar.

Over all, though it's rather confusing of a read, it's interesting in the sense that it's completely different from other literatures that I've encountered in the pass.

Sampling Experience

I found the Sampling Expeience quite interesting. It gave us a chance to bring about our own creativity by using other people's creativity into our own. At first, I was stubbling on what I was going to use or how I was going to make an arguement with images available on the web. It took me a while to come up with what I did. I just put together a collage/poster of various pictures of famous arts (writers/books, musicians, paintings) with a title "authorship".
To make the same arguement with my own images, I did the same. Again I put together images that I've taken over the years. These images are similar to the ones I found on the net, rather they are ordinary people or objects that I'm related to. I found second image to be a little difficult to attempt. Even though I already had the pictures for myself, it was hard to make a similar arguement as the first sampling.
But overall, I did take away a lesson learned. To me, I think creativity is unlimited. Anything could be creative just like our collages that we made for this sampling experience.

Creativity

After class last week in the writing center, I'm still a little confused about what I'm going to use for my visual displays for the sampling project. It's quite complicated to say what authorship means and what is creativity. For me, basically almost everything is creative ranging from fashion to music to the film industry to literature and everything else in between or beyond that. I sort of have a basic idea of what I want to use for my two visuals, so I'll be spending my weekend digging through my photo album and taking more images for this project.
