Unit 7 Time Based Media Research

Analysis of time-based Art Information taken from http://www.tate.org.uk/about/our-work/conservation/time-based-media on 3/10/2016:
‘Time-based media’ refers to works of art which depend on technology and have duration as a dimension.

Tate’s collection of time-based media art spans the early 1970s to the present day. It includes artworks that use video, film, audio, 35 mm slide and computer-based technologies and focuses mainly on artists’ installations rather than single-channel works. It is, however, a fast-growing collection with an increasingly broad global reach, reflecting the interests of new curators.

Artists make very specific decisions in their choice of media and the way in which their work is presented. Specific display equipment might be important because of a particular quality of sound or image it creates, or because the artist has made conceptual links between a particular item of equipment and the meaning of the work. Specific technology places a work at a particular point in history and may convey ideas about the spirit in which the work was made.

Time-based media works of art differ from other works in the collection because of their dependence on technology and the significance of the less tangible elements of these works.

Whereas the physical deterioration of materials is the primary factor to address with traditional objects, industry decisions to discontinue particular technologies (a projector or tape format, for example) also affect time-based media, and vigilance is required to ensure that encoded media can be played back.

As with other forms of installation, it is essential that correct installation details are documented and that this information is made accessible to future custodians of the work.

Information about Gestural Kinetic Drawing:
I'm start doing about Gestural Kinetic drawing and the website i founds with artist information looks really interesting. they using the emotion, energy and moment to create a simple piece yet feeling like there an energy coming out from it.

Artist by Heather Hansen


Contextual Research
The artist that i would like to look into is Bill Viola and Tony Oursler
This is Bill Viola's artwork and his Information
His art style is more into human life. How life is going born and die. I 'm not really sure how to explain it but it more like the cycles of the life and how everyone have to live and dead in their life.

This is Tony Oursler's artwork
I finds this interesting because the way it looks and how random it is. Taking the part of human bodies and turn it into art looks funny and the same time it's kind of creepy.
The colour and shape is also different from other artist because it was taking from part of people's face and put them together randomly.




Pollock Action Painting
http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/a/action-painters can be look up from the link
Their process, involved splashing, using gestural brushstrokes and dripping paint onto canvas rather than carefully applying it. The term ‘action painting’ was coined by Harold Rosenberg in his groundbreaking articleThe American Action Painters published in ARTnews in December 1952.

This blog post and activity are a fun and simple way to introduce action painters to kids, whether in the classroom or at home.

Who is Jackson Pollock?
This Tate Kids blog post explains all whilst stating some pretty impressive facts. Did you know some of his paintings still have footprints on them where he stepped in the paint?

Jazzy drips
Get kids inspired to make their own drip paintings with this fun activity.



Reportage drawing
Artist's blog Click Here and another Link if you wanting to click it out.
Reportage drawing is a rough sketch of something, someone or your surrounding. 
I finds this really interesting, even thought i didn't do any of the drawing but i can easily understand the meaning and what it mean of reportage drawing. I really like the art style because it isn't just sketchy style but it also make it eye-catch  depending on time you wanting to put or how much detail you wanting to add into the piece.
