What is finished (for now)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My first instinct with this assignment was to write “this is a collage” and turn that in, in true Rauschenberg style. But then I decided to give it a shot and see what I could come up with.<\/p>\n

The assignment came right after the country’s biggest modern mass shooting in Las Vegas, so I was thinking about gun control and mass shootings and terrorism and things, and it made me consider fear and danger, and that was the theme I went with.<\/p>\n

Playing around with some ideas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s a weird time to be an American. I suppose it’s kind of a weird time to be anyone or anything because we have so much stuff<\/em>. We have more information at our fingertips than ever. Technology is insane. Politics\u00a0are absurd. But we still have time to think about Kim Kardashian’s butt?<\/p>\n

When I think about fear, this week I’ve thought about coding (haha). And assignments, and the future, and relationships, and money, and and and++. Then I thought about what other people are afraid of and how big of a spectrum that is. People are afraid of spiders sometimes, and sometimes they’re afraid of nuclear warfare. There’s so many different tiers too. I suppose it’s all psychological, but in a sense I think they’re a difference between being afraid of a constant thing like a spider, and being afraid of the dangers of cultural appropriation (hence, Kim K’s butt).<\/p>\n

There’s a lot going on in my piece, because there’s a lot to be afraid of. However, there are images on there that people shouldn’t be afraid of or think are dangerous. But that points out a larger discussion about who’s to say who can be afraid of what?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
