Painting Simplicity inside Complexity

Christian Nold, an amazing artist, uses a different technique to draw his paintings. Nold creates his paintings by information he gathers about people through technology. Nold has his employees walk around with a device similar to a lie detector and a GPS. After a while he saves the records in the device and uses it to paint a picture. He was invited into an expo for his artwork among three hundred others. Many people ask how he paints his pictures thinking that it's very complex. Node replies that it's really simple. Node is becoming famous among the art world and for a good reason. His technique is unique. Although introducing technology into art is not original. Node creates his artwork based on information he receives from the devices. He does say; however, he can't read their emotions, thoughts, or feelings. An article on Christian Nold is found in Cnn

Del.icio.us bookmarking

The three pages I bookmarked is about basketball, video game faqs, and drifting. All the pages were basically informational and told me about each subject. The basketball page told me about what is going on in the world of basketball, the video game faq page showed me new ways to play a video game such as: entering different cheatcodes, how to play the game differently, or what a certain game plays like, and the drifting page showed me how differnet drifts are initiated, driven, and finished. The pages can help someone doing research on drifting, certain video games, or the world of basketball. There are definitly other pages like the ones I bookmarked or somehow related. These pages are mainly bookmarked for my interest, but I can use it to do a report if it ever is related to the page topic. I bookmarked the page by clicking tag on the toolbar and simply typing in a summary of the page and some tag words. These are the pages I bookmarked drift website , espn/basketball , gamefaqs.

I tunes


Picture Website
Itunes was a very simple program that I can direct through with ease. I can find the new releases, what's popular, and what the staff likes. I can get most of it for free, but for others I would have to pay. In Itunes I listened to "Dane Cook Tourgasm", which was mostly about how he does his jokes, changes his appearance to his new audience, and the affects he had on the audience. He also describes how he feels about his material and what he does to keep his audience interested. On itunes there's a direction panel, which includes itunes library, store, videos, podcast, music, etc. All in all itunes is simple, easy, and includes a variety of products. itunes.com/download
