Thanks Pandu. I agree with you. Good nudge bro. I always thing people listen, and the tiatrists are too--if they have not already thought it out. But in any given, it helps if students, other aficionados introduce ideas to the big guys. Not sure though whether much of that happens. Say like whether anyone in a Flash class has animated a mando, or show a minister squealing like a pig, of someone indulging in garbage fornication. I could list about over 300 topics. But we all do what we have to.
Very helpful for any artist wanting to try something new, or at least use it while travelling. Btw, few people know that my graduate studies were in Computer Graphics. It is not as hard as it looks, for some it may take a bit of getting used to. Some ogf my stuff. At the link below, the next eight are partially or wholly digital. http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/1315555469/in/set-72157607433652234/ also some here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/sets/1814889/ I am considering getting one, and Cecilia rightfully feels that I do not need it. She is right in that--what is the point, considering the supra-high skill levels (fact) in traditional media, and the fact that I do so much with a stylus--other than wanting to get pointer finger fatigue. Last Oct, I helped interact/teach sort of--one of our "rocket scientists" (not Goan, not a rocket scientist, but a high-level admin/Prof) to finger paint. He suddenly sprang it up on me. felt he was being really cool. I had to give him a talk on toxicity of cadmiums, etc., and all the shit, but then bit the bullet and went at it. This tool may be perfect for someone like him, but these characters may also suddenly say stuff like, "But Veniii---I like the feel and smell.tzh of paint." They are always one step ahead in their analysis. But what to do--I studied with them. On the other hand, they may buy it and then still present more gnyan. Now they are reaching out and slowly revealing themselves; and I on the other hand am slowly divesting myself, A detente of sorts, not entente. And they also, not know how to make any interaction all cordial. All has to do with our 5,000 year and counting culture. venantius Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 09:14:57 -0400 > From: Pandu Lampiao <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Goanet] Mind-blowing Street Magic Pulled Off Using An > IPad - Gizmo Watch > > Say here is one of the other amazing uses of the Pad. > > > http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturevideo/artvideo/7865736/Artist-creates-masterpiece-on-an-iPad.html > > Now that all the dying magazines and newspapers are almost getting > another life, thanks to the Pad, I would think maybe some Goan > cultural treasures, like the thiatre somehow find a way there.... > > On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 2:20 AM, Venantius J Pinto > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/mind-blowing-street-magic-pulled-off-using-an-ipad/ > > > > ++ > > vjp >
