Guest Lecture
Nevada
I really enjoyed this short film for its writing and voice acting. It was not only comedic at times, but the dialogue between the couple felt ad sounded natural and unforced. This made for a seamless experience that never took me out of immersion of the relatable story being told. Voice acting can make or break a film, so it was great seeing an animation elevated by its strong voice acting.
Can you call me back
The voice acting in this short film was not as good as the previous, but the clever writing and the visual gags made up for it. The silly visual gags enhanced the dialogue to make the intimate situation much more comical and enjoyable.

Readings
Johee Park
I find Johee Park’s work is very appealing to the eye. I find this is mostly due to the sleek and clean style she illustrates in combined with the sheer scale of works and how they wrap around a space. The space itself molds that artwork and in turn makes it unique as it is more site specific at that point, so no re-installation would be the same. Her use of vinyl printing and space is something I might want to pursue in my own work.
Taezoo Park
Taezoo Park’s work is interesting, as personally I hate leaving old technology cluttered around in my own home and tend to keep it boxed away somewhere. Seeing that same potential technology piled up like trash heaps made reflect and put into perspective just how much old technology I do store without having need for it or having a method to dispose of it effectively without harming the environment in some way.
Daniel Rozin
I have seen this in my undergrad classes and I have always found it cool and clever. I don’t believe I could ever achieve, or want to pursue that level of engineering and coding to create something like this, but it serves as a great inspiration for me for its utilization of light and shade to create forms within a wooden surface.
