Lecture 9/23/09

Today was an interesting day at the very least. Raphael Diluzoio, professor of New Media here at UMaine came in to speak to the class and was quite inspiring.... After being hit by a truck a few years back, which took away most of his motor skills and short term memory, he managed to fight his way back to making art and doing what he knew he always loved to do.
his views on art we very revolutionary in that he challenged the concept of modern art. "Why be limited to a medium that is fixed in time?" he asked us. This led us into a discussion on time based art that he has recently been working with. We would meet with him again next class via skype where we would continue this discussion to the fullest.
