Put iMac Display to Sleep
The best way I have found to instantly put your iMac display to sleep, while still keeping your computer running is to do this:
1. Click on System Preferences. (If you don't have it in your dock, type System Preferences in your magnifying glass in the upper right of your screen.)
2. Click on the icon for Expose and Spaces.
3. Once in the Expose & Spaces screen, make sure the tab for Expose is highlighted, not Spaces.
4. CLICK the upper left drop down menu, (The one with the red box around it in the picture), then HOLD the command button and it should add the little "command" picture next to all of your options.
5. Then CLICK on "Put Display to Sleep"
6. What this means is that when you hold the command button and then move your mouse all the way to the upper left corner of your screen, again, while HOLDING down the command button, it will put ONLY the monitor to sleep.
7. To wake the monitor from it's slumber, all you need to do is KISS THE SCREEN!!
...NOT REALLY, Just wiggle your mouse or press a key on the keyboard and it is back on.
--I like to add the command button to the action because sometimes I move my mouse to the corner unintentionally and I don't want it to go to sleep. By adding the command key, you must HOLD DOWN THE COMMAND BUTTON and move your mouse to the corner, so you are sure it is intentional.
--This is useful for:
-Playing music and saving monitor power.
-Streaming movies to AppleTV
-Playing movies that are being outputted to a larger monitor.
-Keeping downloads or uploads running while saving on monitor power.
-Fooling your friends and making them think you are on Facebook, when really you are at the gym, lol, my favorite.

Zerox Project
This project was wayy fun and a little embarrassing. I did mine in the library first floor over in the corner so less people could see me. I enjoyed it. With my project I wanted to show the 3 sins, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, and See No Evil. At the bottom I just wanted to show off the way I scanned my face. I rolled my face along the scanner as the light moved across, creating an eerie look that reminded me of the characters from "The Hills Have Eyes". Also with the balloon was to make it look like it could be a lamp.

"...dada applies itself to everything, and yet it is nothing" -Dada Manifesto, Tzara
I don't know how i feel about this. It contradicts itself. One can't give a label to something, saying that label names it nothing.
"...it draws no conclusion, no pride, no benefit. It has even stopped combating anything, in the realization that it's no use, that all this doesn't matter." -Dada Manifesto, Tzara
One can't say that Dada draws no conclusion, or that it doesn't combat anything. The act of giving Dada a name, and saying 'this is Dada' is drawing a conclusion, and Dada would have to combat anyone that said that is not what Dada is. It is contradictory.
I do agree with what he says about it being a state of mind, about it being a movement where philosophy doesn't matter.
I have always asked my friends something and tried to make them understand this, why was an elephant named an elephant? Is it because the phonetics of the word give us a feeling of size and weight, thus fitting the animal that is named elephant? What if a child was raised being taught that the name of "an elephant" was actually called a mouse, and vise versa. The child might have an elephant infestation, and might ride a mouse at the town zoo. To this child, these words would seem totally normal because that is what he was raised to know them to be called.
The Dada movement suggests that this is folly. That our world is only defined by these words we can place on it, and that if we can remove the prison bars of language that we have placed on our culture, that we will be able to be more creative, and that real art, born solely of the artist himself, can be made.
