Realist Art

I think I like this…

Socialist realist art must be faithful to life – but in certain prescribed ways:

  1. Art should picture reality in simplified and typified ways so that it communicates effectively to the masses.
  2. Art should picture life, but not as it is so much as life as it shouldbecome, life worth emulating.
  3. Art should picture reality not in its individuality but only as it reveals larger social significance.
  4. Art should picture reality as progress toward the future and so represent social struggles positively. It should carry an air of optimism.
  5. Art should focus on contemporary life, creating pleasing images of new social phenomena, revealing and endorsing new features of society and thus aiding the masses in assimilating them.

Mac Screensavers

I photographed all of the OSX screensavers today. The project came to me because my studio mates never turn on their computers energy saver. It’s completely annoying -I think they must be offsetting tsunamis in the East because of all the energy consumption. Before turning them off I photographed all the screensaver viewing options.  (click the image for more)
