My freeze

I was totally caught of guard when the sneeze happened I thought for sure I had time to take a seat. I wanted so badly to look around and see others reactions. It was extremely hard to stand in that position. However I think it worked better because I was about to sit. I was mid sit and I had to freeze. It opened my mind half sitting standing. I had to concentrate on my body what it was doing how to stop it from shaking. I think the freeze had more meaning to me than something cool and funny. It made a link from my brain back to my body a conscious link of what I should do. It gave me time to reflect on what was going on. I felt like a fly on the wall looking around but not moving. I felt invisible like no one could see me because I could see nothing. I felt like a fly because I was almost detached from the library scene and was an observer to the library life. The freeze helped me achieve an observer’s eye.

Naked is the best way to tan

This turkey didnt get the memo

Graffiti trick

Went off without a hitch. It was a little obvious that it was us. Meaning the artists were easily spotted and identified. However I think the point got across that it was shocking and unexpected to see at school. I would never think of someone painting on the UW Bothell campus and neither did the students we had. The culture of graffiti is not known to Bothell and that is why we brought it there. We wanted people maybe not exposed to it in there everyday to feel how it feels to see and be up close to this way of life. Graffiti is accepted in Seattle, New York, industrial areas, destroyed sites but why not at Bothell. I did not see any graffiti anywhere in the city of Bothell ever. Why isn’t it accepted? Is it because it is the suburbs, more of a nicer neighborhood, it’s looked down upon by the elite of Bothell. Everyone needs to express themselves. I think that Bothell thinks that they are secluded from everything, crime, destruction, they are living in a bubble like bubble boy. Bothell and bubble boy are similar in many ways. They are both living in a secluded world except that bubble boy wants to experience the world and Bothell just wants to be the perfect city.

Culure jamming with halo

Culture jamming is by definition: activism which is generally in opposition to commercialism, and the vectors of corporate image. Culture jamming sometimes entails transforming mass media to produce ironic or satirical commentary about itself, using the original medium's communication method. Culture jamming to me is very fun I am going to try to do it for a blog. However here is a video that explains culture jamming quite well and also is doing it at the same time by using halo as a media. The culture jamming to me is a funny way of saying hey this is wrong, bombarding us with stuff that we cannot get around. Advertisements on the news, on my phone, at schools, even in hospitals which I was at the other weekend. How can people stand this violation of privacy? Personally it makes me angry. I can see how this is helpful for them to make money but it’s gone too far. I think the situationalists had a good idea fight the man with there own advertisements. Its like when you’re a kid and change Ford to Fix Or Repair Daily. The situationalist have the best thing going for them, funny and makes you think.
