So this is the very first blog I have ever written in my 2 decades and some months of living. It is supposed to be about Kip Fulbeck's lecture on Monday the 28, 2011 - aka the first day of spring quarter!!!! In Kip's lecture we learned about reaching an audience and conveying something/a meaning. He showed us some youtube clips as well as some photographs. In life, whether or not we know it, we are consistently recreating images from the past. I personally have often thought when I'm doing certain things that some one else has done it some time, some where. Perhaps a billion people have done it...or perhaps only 2 other people...OR maybe someone else is doing the same exact thing at the same exact time. BUT perhaps it is in a different time zone or a different situation. No matter how weird, gross, awesome, exciting, unusual, (any adjective) whatever I am doing (in the particular moment when this concept crosses my mind), some one else will have done already. Although the images in lecture may not be exactly what I've done, they are perfect illustrations of the reoccurring of actions throughout earth's history. Take Rosie the Riveteer poster, for example. The same image of a woman flexing her arm in the same position is depicted in "Un Chien Andalou," the French short film from 1929 when the woman is threatening to hit the man-turned-zombie with the telephone that she took off the wall. This is just one example and I could go on for hours, but seeing as I have another blog to post and have yet to email Desiree - I better get a move on!
