Week 13

Reflection:
1. What is New Media Art for you?
 - For me, New media is a studies that emerged in the later medias and the new designed of medias. For example, merging one media to another media to create a new media.
2. What have you learned from this module?
 - I learned how to be creative and productive for using different kinds of medias. And this module helps me to brainstorm my mind.
3. Will you apply what you have learned from New Media Art module to your own practice?
 - Yes,  because it is really important to for our other modules to be more creative during creating an idea of other works.
4. If so how?
 - Maybe I will add different kinds of media in one work. Using specific media in one work is too mainstream and not creative.So I will use different kinds of media on artwork to create new ways of creating an artwork.

Week 12 - Mouchette.org

Week 12

Mouchette.org is an intuitive site made in 1996 by a virtual individual, a pseudonymous character, an Amsterdam based craftsman who calls herself Mouchette. With her blameless welcome and claims to be "nearly thirteen" welcome us from the introduction page, what at first shows up as an individual site of a pre-pubescent female artist, develops into darker subjects in the subsequent pages.

Themes and Meaning
All through Mouchette.org, death is one of the main themes concentrated on. The subject is happened using the fly on practically every page on the site. One page even plays a tune out of sight, while the screen peruses "Lullaby for a dead fly." The theme is developed by particularly concentrating on suicide and violence. One page even asks what you think the most ideal approach to kill yourself when you're under 13 is.

Week 9 - VNS Matrix

Week 9 

VNS Matrix within the context of an emerging history of women-only collectivism and collaboration in Australia. These include: interrogating the cliche of the lone, white, male artist; and interest in separatism and the production of autonomous spaces; a commitment to operating outside the boundaries of the established art-world; the desire to learn, acquire and share skills; and the pursuit of community engagement. This paper will engage with the history and theory of collectivism and collaboration by exploring VNS Matrix in three parts, there are collective production, disruptive content, and unusual distribution of their confrontational yet highly enjoyable practice.
