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.

Okay, now I'm scaring myself...
Watched this video, i had just posted that if something could vibrate, and send out pulses, that would vibrate something else, and that something else would use the vibration to create, or convert the vibrations to electrons, then we would have wireless electricity. In this video, about halfway through, he explains how WiTricity works, and i must say, it's pretty much exactly how i thought it would :) yay me!!

LOL - I'm a genius...just not fast enough...
MIT beat me to the punch, lol...oh well...let's just say others had the same idea and the resources and brains to actually flesh it out. I always mention wireless electricity to friends, and they look at me and laugh. But when i explained how i think it would work, their laughter turns to curiosity. Looks like MIT's working on it, according to CNN:
