Performance Art | Sick, Injured Man

This was a really fun and interesting assignment. I never thought that I would do anything like this with my major and I learned a lot from it. Our group decided to have me dress up as a sick/injured man and have themselves dress up as nurses assisting me. We then walked around downtown Tampa to see people's reactions. Surprisingly, the majority of people that we passed had little to no reaction to me. For the most part they were either on their phones or didn't want to take time out of their day to get involved. It really shows a lot about the society that we live in and I am glad that I got to do this cool experiment.

ASCII Art

   ASCII or  American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a type of character encoding system that is seen on computer platforms. It is a type of art that creates pictures completely out of text and characters that are available on a computer. The main reason why ASCII was developed was because at the time, computers didn't have the graphic capabilities to create detailed pictures.        With the rise of the internet and technological advances with computers, ASCII became very popular among users. One individual by the name of Christopher Johnson was known for his ASCII art designs that range from present day all the way back in 1994 when the internet was just getting started. He has a website (chris.com) that displays all of his ASCII art designs. People also used ASCII around this time for a game called "Multi-User Dungeon" which was a multiplayer roleplay game that was completely textual. ASCII art is still used today, usually on comment pages or forums.

For this assignment we had to look at a 21st century technology and talk about what influenced its creation and what future inventions could possibly be influenced off of it. I did the LCD overhead projector which is seen in almost every class and office now a days. However, It wasn't an original idea at all. It had a lot of previous influences that made it what it is today. Here is my paper on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 st Century Technology: The LCD Overhead Projector  There are a multitude of incredibly useful 21 st century technologies that we as society use every day.
