One Day I Will Let You Taste My Scars from Arnaldo Roman The consumption of object is what defines our other-self, making us, as consumers to create a simulated character that ultimately becomes our own canned reality. In a more pessimistic sense we becomes the object and the object becomes part of our functional roles. [...]

Process: Everything change, the actual procedures turn to ideas that intrinsically have another sense with new subroutines. By researching and looking back at what I always given for granted I discovered new and old scattered images of many dialects and discourses that may better describe or in better words, better appropriate terms important to my work.

Diatribe of Saint Vitus with a theme song far far away from Arnaldo Roman on Vimeo. This is a re-mediation on Theme Song by Vito Acconci. As i was visualizing it it was not a moment on intimacy or a pretension to be close to someone like the original ‘73 Acconci’s video. Its a re-digestion [...]

At this point I am exploring different medias like Video-Art, Net-Art, Photography, Design and Painting. The main concept behind all these kind of works or what will consequently tied them together will be that of consuming culture in Puerto Rico and the influence the global market have in our culture. Most of my work will be presented on the internet as video art and net art relying on coding as the vehicle of presentation. I am still on the process of decontextualizing images and content from institutional media like television, newspaper, magazines and making a new story on what they present. My studio project will be composed of many sources and many projects that may consequently make a full statement and a comment on identity and how consumerism shape it, supplanting the real with a copy that becomes what we see, what we live and what we believe. Problems I am having? At this moment the main situation I have to resolve is how to find a browser redirection technique that suit what i want in may work, mostly because some of my projects requires a movie type presentation but not using a movie media like Quicktime or Mpg but code, Just HTML and Javascript without affecting the visibility of the media.

Group Effort with Geoff Cox

Arnaldo Roman — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:17:45 +0000

Faculty: Geoff Cox Description:

Radical changes in the nature of work have lead to the current tendency to regard curatorial, artistic and cultural work as indicative of the ways in which all work is increasingly (forced to be) creative, flexible and precarious - making artists exemplary contemporary workers. Through selected projects of contemporary artists and groups we will explore the increased sharing of skills and expertise as well as the rising importance of communicative interconnections in what the autonomists call the 'social factory'.

Goals:

To introduce concepts and examples of contemporary interdisciplinary arts praxis.
To develop strategies for research and future creative production that is informed by historical and theoretical references.
