This is a medium for my case studies of visual culture. Each case study is analyzed on a scale of ten points:Raw/Clean spectrum, 2. Like or dislike, 3. Immediately aesthetically pleasing, 4. Pop or counterculture, 5. Elaboration, 6. Personal perspective, 7. Category of Art, 8. Assumed authorial intent, 9. Name of artist, 10. Context. Here I apply my knowledge of visual culture to forms of art. Covc is mostly subjective. Through analysis I express my opinions on art. Some parts are objective. For example, some artists are pop culture artists and therefore I would classify their art as pop culture. When reading these case studies it is important to understand my perspective. I am mostly interested in and stimulated by contemporary and post modern art. Photography is my favorite form of art and sculpture is my least favorite. I prefer art that is more raw than clean and am mainly interested in fashion photography and amateur works that capture everyday life without being too sloppy. I mainly draw inspiration from "I Love Fake" Magazine (http://www.ilovefakemagazine.com/), kanYe West: blog (http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/), and Sabino (http://sabino.tumblr.com/).

Notes on Telephone Video

SImilarities:

  • Rather large font used in opening credits like in Kill Bill
  • The location is given, like in Kill Bill
  • The wearing of sunglasses
  • Violence
  • Mass Murder
  • Sisterhood
  • Explicit language
  • The “Pussy Wagon” like in Kill Bill
  • The ending with clasping hands together and driving towards some “end” much like Thelma and Louise.
  • Like in Thelma and Louise, the women are mistreated by men and take revenge.
  • Girl power
  • The use of a Polaroid camera in the car like in Thelma and Louise
  • The wearing of shiny yellow.
  • The use of subtitles, and there was a subtitle that looked like it may have been in Japanese. In Kill Bill there was a major Japanese influence and it was spoken.
  • The video is colorful like Kill Bill.
  • There is a scene in a diner, which Thelma and Louise also has.
