1. Identify the article you have selected and why you chose it.
The article I have chosen was Paul Miller's Material Memories. I chose to read it because he raises interesting questions about our world and how some people enact within. He stresses the importance of looking at images and different ways of seeing. He also talks about how forms of surrealists ideas are conveyed with the entertainment industry.
2. What are the main points of the essay?I believe his main points dealt with raising questions which may interest an individual and responding in a critical manner. Millers points out to important ideas which may benefit an artist and how one composes work. He agrees that "The screen was a place where the sense of vision was conveyed by time". Time plays an important role with all artistic pieces as it emphasis parts that make up a time capsule.
3. How are the ideas or arguments in this article relevant to your own practice as a media artist?When working in the studio my goal is often to manipulate images in a way which complements time within a specific setting. I try to utilize all figures, cut-aways, and background information needed in order to influence or to make a viewer believe.
