Bush vs Obama

Steve Dietz & Billionaires for Bush

I feel disappointed I couldn’t stay longer for Steve Dietz lecture because I had a class to attend after our original time of our class. However, during the time I was there for the lecture of Steve Dietz, he talks about altering and how different artists use different method or technique to alter “unscripting the political process.”  For example, The Billionaires for Bush “No You Can’t” shows how the multimedia and artists can manipulate the original video of “Yes We Can” and show it to the people. “Billionaires for Bush is a do-it-yourself grassroots media campaign using humor and street theater to expose politicians who support corporate interests at the expense of everyday Americans.”This video shows how billionaires for bush wants to stay alive and continue to run the same political system; helping the rich people and not care about the world and bringing a better future for America.  According to the website http://billionairesforbush.com/index.php it is said, “If you prefer more of the same, please stick with the Grand Ol' Party. If you want hope and change, there's that other guy running for president...” the guy from the original video of “Yes We Can.”  Alteration became so easy these days and almost every ordinary person today can do it.  Technology and multimedia also became more accusable and valuable existence these days.  From my perspective, it is really good to have this type of system available for the people to make a good choice not only for the political reason but as well as for personal reason.

YouTube vs Broadcasting channel + Hirshhorn Museum

By wikipedia definition, "YouTube is a popular free video sharing website which lets users upload, view, and share video clips. ...",  whereas the broadcasting channels are only for watching certain things where is control by certain people.  Youtube give you opportunities to watch every artist's work and even some personal videos that are interesting to watch.  I am from former Yugoslavia and during the war in Kosovo my friends and i left the country and migrated in different places in the world.  YouTube gave as the opportunity to share each other’s experience in that county we migrated.

YouTube actually allows some artist to show some of their work on the political and personal experience about the Kosovo war and how people when through certain places so they can escape the war.  However, the broadcasting channels give you a slice of what people can see about things what really happens in the world.

The trip to Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, one of the artists that amassed me with its work was Gary Hill with his work on Suspension on Disbelief.  The story behind it is similar to mine.  My wife got a job in Iraq and went there to work.  I feel if I had this thirty monitors in my room I would be comfortable with the idea of letting her go there and more like she is with me, feel her presence.
