I am a Northern Ontario (retired) secondary school teacher with a background and teaching experience in English, Special Education, and Media Literacy. I tend to think in a global structure and find the trends in media technology and its impact on culture, education, and social structure fascinating.
Asemic Twitter Screen Capture 2
Here is another experiment in deconstructing media text & applying the principle of necro-media. I took a screen capture of a couple of Tweets that showed up together. I mixed in some asemic text, and added a border using the famous photograph of Edgar Allan Poe.
New context combines with the broken codes & conventions to leave the viewer to decode this informational structure using vaguely recognizable forms to generate meaning in the composition’s implied space.
Asemic YouTube Screen Capture 1
Here is an experiment in deconstructing media text & applying the principle of necro-media. I took a screen capture of a YouTube art tutorial . By blending it with a asemic postcard composition & putting it through a number of digital effects, the screen image is deconstructed and reconfigured.
Note that some of the codes and conventions of the Firefox browser & the YouTube layout are preserved. The viewer will try to decode this informational structure using those vaguely recognizable forms to generate meaning in the composition’s implied space.
The art tutorial can be seen below. The original screen capture was taken from the last quarter of the tutorial.
