We watched a couple of videos on some intersting artists. Cai Guo Qiang makes art with fireworks. Fireworks were invented in Asia and I find it intersting that he is taking such a historical root within his culture and using it in his art. But is it really his art? Or is it the fireworks art? He said he is a the mercy of the material...the substance. It is dangerous and sometimes unpedictable. Much to the same likeness as an artists imagination. I think that this is a wonderful junction of creative opportunity and danger. The world makes substances. Man makes materials out of substances. Man uses materials. Man and Materials join forces to make art for world. It's an infinite circle.
Tim Hawkinson is a crazy scientist. He builds these wicked sweet inventions of art. That is honestly the only way I can describe them. They breath and come to life. They scream "LOOK AT ME!" I don't honestly know if I have anything to constructively say about his work other than the fact that it is so amazingly different that it stuns me.
