So my collaborator wrote a weak draft to my "Anger" theme. And I decided to put my advanced poetry writing skills to use by using one of the styles that I learned recently. It's worth a shot!
My anger is my curse when walking the streets at night
My anger outlives my guilt when thinking about my future by looking at the red sky.
My anger clouds my judgment when seeing the dark alleys
My anger is uncontrollable when I see people being happy
My anger is my disease for the stress that I cannot control when sitting alone in a park
Thinking
Waiting
Screaming
Dreaming
My Anger

Psychologist Update
Last week I was supposed to meet with Fabian, Ultiliz, a psychology teacher at school about some information I could use for this project. However, he wasn't there and emailed me saying that he changed his hours recently so I am going to see him today at 3pm.

My presentation sucked
Next time; I am practice with someone before the next crit and more information will be added.
Hi-Res Sites for research
I took a look at some Hi-Res websites for some kind of inspiration for my project over the past couple of days and I thought the visual style was amazing. I was already familiar with The Fountain website an the Saw I website, but I found The Fountain's to be the strongest of all because it was a story in different time periods even if it's brief on setting up viewers to go and watch the film. I think I should go this route for the intro because from what I was told at my crit I need to have a strong opening. The saw website also gave me an Idea on what I should do with the the text since I am building the comps as of right now.

Updates galore
Well, I am awaiting a rewrite from my collaborator on the anger poem. As a matter of fact, I feel that for the poems, each theme needs a transition from one theme to another because it's an exploratory project by the way.
Also, I was suggested to speak with one of the psychology professors at school to seems if there is books I can look at in order to add some kind of emotional connection to the web project. But I have a meeting on tuesday with one of them at 2pm in order to get some advice in order to expand on the next draft of poems.
Began doing comps/ pre visual based off the writers poems that we've been collaborating on. Coming out fine, even if they are very rough.
Now currently I am thinking of different web mediums for the project since I need to make it interesting. Based off the conversation with Jeremy, maybe for each section, I will have a different kind of web medium(flash, HTML, motion graphics, video, audio). Since my animation/video skills are int he level of "OK" compare to HTML and audio, I may want to recruit a couple of multimedia juniors for this.

Bibilography
Initial Bibliography
Andrews, Jim. 1996. 15 September 2008
Jim Andrews, an accomplished poet and media programmer from Canada, created vispo.com in 1996. Andrews introduced poetry into multiple new media formats in sound, visual animation, gaming and hypertext in the past twelve years. As the site continues to grow and evolve, Andrews continues to incorporate poetry with multimedia and attempt to expand different forms of communication between the viewer and the work that is presented. For my senior studio project research, I viewed the website to see what kinds of multimedia techniques that would inspire my project.
24, April 2008.
Epimore.net was created to show poetry in new digital formats on the World Wide Web from different writers from different countries in different languages. The website features poetry writings in the forms of sound, visual animation, gaming and hypertext. Even though the site is full of avant-garde pieces of digital poetry, the main goal of this website is to express the interest of anyone who is into either digital work or poetry. I enjoyed the ability of these digital artists to use sound and photography in their pieces in order to make the poetry experience more enjoyable in a digital standpoint.
July, Miranda. 2006. April 2008.
In 2006, Miranda July wrote a 200 plus page book of the same name of the website: no one belongs here more than you. The purpose of this website is to show storytelling through images being on the screen. Even though this website did not involve the use of poetry, but the approach of telling a story through photography and actual handwriting text is effective to what I want to approach. The format was interesting on how it dealt with different objects moving at certain points of the web story in order to bring a unique quality to the piece.
Pitt, Todd. 2000. 15 September 2008.
Todd Pitt works with the internet in a social media environment, usually involving web 2.0. Pitt did was to uses actual still photography and images in order to create meaningful poetry. Pitt also expresses poetry through collages and different kinds of codex. For my senior project, I would like to do different kinds of design for my poetic writings in order to make the site more unique.
Lialina, Olina. 1996. April 2008. < http://www.teleportacia.org/war/war.html>
I was introduced to website originally in Web Design Studio in spring 2008. The purpose of this website to explore a person’s identity within a complex layered story called “My boyfriend came home from the war”. As I was doing research, one of the main points that came to mind was how a poem on the website look and feel different. The best part of this website was the use of simple images and text in order for the user to create his or her own story base off the information that is presented.
“Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of The Dark Knight” July 2008. 25 September 2008.
This documentary premiered over the summer on The History Channel studies the Batman character from the comic books and the new “Batman” films in recent years: “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”. The first part of the documentary explores the psychology of fear and anger in Bruce Wayne/Batman. Part of the documentary deals with a scene from Batman Begins involving Wayne exposing himself to his fear of bats before becoming Batman. One psychologist in the documentary analyzes that “exposure”. I am going to create a poetic theme involving fear and dealing with exposure because I feel that showing a person confronting fear can he or she grow as a person.
“Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed”. June 2007. 3 October 2008.
This documentary premiered in June 2007 on The History Channel studying all of the live action Star Wars films connecting certain themes of the series to mythology, literature and history with insight from filmmakers, college professors, film critics and politicians. As I was doing research for the themes destiny and fear for my project, this documentary expresses these themes in an intellectual matter. The destiny theme that I came up with is based off Joseph Campbell’s The Heroes Journey because it surrounds a hero going off to fulfill his or her destiny and that connects the heroes of Anakin and Luke Skywalker. When doing research on fear, there was a part of the documentary deals with Anakin Skywalker’s fall into the dark side was compared to Homer’s The Illard, in which Achilles used his fear and anger to win wars for Greece. These themes did was to reassure me that with stories surrounding main characters have the same human flaws as everyone in this world.
Flaherty, Brian. 2007. 15 September 2008
While doing independent research for the senior studio project, I discovered the work of Brian Flaherty, a co-editor of The New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (nzepc). The purpose of this website is to extend and document poetry in a digital environment. Even though my project will not include any kinds of Flash animation, I find the site very useful to research what kind of hypermedia materials would go into the poetic pieces because it was necessary to explore and research these formats. The site’s research documents the use of the hypermedia materials.
23 September 2008.
This website deals with visual poetry in a very avant-garde style called fluxus. Fluxus is a simple form of design using text and are designed to keep the art, text and performances of the platform short, brief, and simple in order to get to get the message across while having fun with the creation of the artwork. The most unique part of this website is that all the pieces is full is text heavy and the type is very strong. What this website did was to enforce the ideas of trying to come up with unique and innovate forms of designs in order to add characters.
Sword, Helen. 2007. 3 September 2008. http://www.helensword.ac.nz/index.htm
Helen Sword is a digital poetry artist that includes poetry with different photography and paintings. Unlike the Miranda July website, noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com, this website deals with poetry in the photography and paintings in order to reflect on what is going in the piece. Even though this website is pretty straight forward and I cannot use anything that is too simplistic for this project, it gave me an opportunity to see if are any websites that contains that kind of digital poetry that I am researching.

updates updates...
So Jeremy suggested that I get in contact with a couple of liberal arts teachers at school who teaches philosophy in order to see what information I can look at for some of the themes that I have developed for the poetry writings in order to go in the website designing process. However, getting contatc info from the liberal arts office is not working. If I don't hear anything back from the office by tomorrow , I might as well go into the office for contact info myself and get it.
Looking at some net.art for ideas in order to get into the project design, in which I am doing sketches right now.
Poem rewrites are looking good. nuff said
