This is the group authored research blog of the RISD course Installation / Sight & Sound taught by Shawn Greenlee as a partnership between the Departments of Printmaking and Digital+Media.

Contributers include: Max Ackerman, Samantha Blumenfeld, Laura Brown, Lucy Bull, Katherine Gui, Jamie Krasner, Sarah Lee, Laura Perez-Harris, Bundith Phunsombatlert, Mona Poor-Olschafskie, Charlotte Potter, Mark Rice, John Rohrer, Justin Rosengarten, Calvin Waterman, Xiaowen Wu, Benjamin Kennedy, and Shawn Greenlee.

Installation / Sight & Sound is a studio course where students create installations and performances that incorporate printmaking techniques into a multimedia context. Students are encouraged to create experiences that transform the gallery setting or exist outside it. The course facilitates cross-media experimentation, while also introducing the computer-programming environment Max/MSP/Jitter as a solution for creating participatory situations and integrations between image and sound.

*I just realized that I posted this on Untitled blog, not ISS one. Anyways, I’m positing it again.

I saw Marina Abramovic at Moma this weekend. She was doing a performance called “The Artist is Present”. Here is a video of her explaining about the work.

It was amazing to see how only her presence forms and completes an art work. Also, I admire her for having the braveness and patience to stand that much attention and be still for hours a day for three months. I’m planning on revisiting the work and participate to be a sitter.
