I recorded the sound of me taking a picture of myself taking a bubble bath.

 

 

 

 

After a good hot bubble bath I did a little self portrait

I’ve been doing a lot of recording with all sorts of media.  One of my wilder things is a little mini tape recorder.  I plan to make a video of me navigating various parts playing specific points fast forwarding and rewinding to them in a planned out arrangement  using the counter as reference.  I’ve been obsessed with recording the “sounds of doing things.”  Last night I recorded the sound of “taking a picture of myself during a bubble bath.”  The above picture is the actual picture.  I am splashing the water and after an introduction of my intentions a camera click can be heard from my virgin mobile crack dealer phone.  Other sounds I’ve recorded are welding, skateboarding, all with proper introduction.  Usually i say something like this “this is the sound of ____.”

Also since I’m, yet again, exploiting the Best Buy Mac island I’ll upload a few photos I found in PhotoBooth.

 

 

Jailbait ?????

ABC’s by Ryan B and a little self P step by step

The classic Sesame Street video of James Earl Jones has been a favorite of mine for some time now.  I’ve wanted to do a series based on the recital of the alphabet and this is my first in that series.  My next plans are to do “Heavy Metal” growls and screams of the alphabet using a public computer in Best Buy.  This was done entirely on an IMac at the Virginia Tech Armory’s Mezzanine.  Video was shot using the built in isight camera.  Video was edited with imovie.  Letters created using Adobe’s Illustrator and Photoshop. There is a Pulp Fiction easter egg of sorts and minimal play with typography.  More to come.

Also I did a self portrait using a pencil from a “Auburn Hills Golf Club”  a place that my roommate frequently golf’s.  I took a few pictures with my 50 dollar “crack dealer” prepaid Virgin Mobile phone from Wal-Mart.

I’m not alone

Alright so I still don’t have a computer even though I’m taking online classes.  I just took an exam, checked my email, got a little bit of a youtube fix, and got minimally harassed for help by the folks at Best Buy.

I’M NOT ALONE

I have a comrade in my exploitation of the Mac Island display at Best buy and I have a picture of him.

I need a Mac TOO

Good Morning hungover self portrait

Realization of a new project

My mac died a few months ago (yes they die all the time too) and I’ve become somewhat of a public computer whore in order to uphold some sort of wildly unprofessional internet presence.  While making a post to fulfil the self portrait a week assigment for arttthis I stumbled across some great pictures that for whatever reason people didn’t delete or completely delete photos they took of themselves in Mac’s Photo Booth. KILLER STUFF.  From now on I will come to best buy at least once a week and try to find a few jems left on the machines.  Go to flickr for a decent amount that I’ve already found.

Best Buy Metronome Swingin’

 

Metronome Best Buy Action

I consider this documentation of a public performance piece. Certainly just sticking my toes in the water here and keeping a low profile but we’ll see where I can go with this another time.

Initially I was emulating the moon passing in front of the sun but after a couple takes I felt more like i was swinging back and forth like a metronome. Got a couple “wtf’s” from the Best Buy employees.

Metronome not to be mistaken with a metro gnome (distant cousin of the lawn gnome) which is a short bearded city dweller or perhaps a short bearded city dweller that gets manicures.

A little moleskine action for you too, working on finding a public scanner. Used an ebony pencil and an orange lighter.

AWOL

I moved out to the boonies of Christiansburg Va.  I’m semi quitting the internet and computers in general.  I don’t have my own working machine anymore and have come up with a plan only to post from public computers.   Right now I’m at a Best Buy.  Already my eccentricities of working on a self portrait in photobooth have scared away all the best buy mac pushers.

The  picture on the left is  an O’Charlies tab… I collect any receipts that have interesting numbers. 666 is my favorite and shows up often.
