Friends Not Dancing

 "Every instance of knowledge, Bataille insists, is also an instance of nonknowledge, its opposite, what is unknown."  I took this into consideration for my post this week in the way that its consstructed. Most of my posts are sung from an unknown location and show a series of clips flashing but this week, the singing is live. Its known what location and time of day i am singning. The blue sky makes this clear and the excited tambre of the birds gives clues that its early into the day. But there is also many unknowns this week because I haven't asked a specific question, I am not showing details of someones room. This time i am just showing a window of an unknown room and singing about something unknown. In a way it is known though as I am singing about a getaway place in which you feel so spiritually connected to it, that you almost deify it. Which the divinity of nature is a common feeling present through centuries of literature, so it is known but unknown.  “Nonknowled

   The learning objectives for this week focused on how the social photo places people in and outside of the work. They can exist in each dichotomy and I think my video for this week really exemplifies this. The video follows my usual format of asking a question, which for this week was “What is something you wish you knew five years ago?” in this way this places the subject in the work because they are answering a question about themselves but it also puts them outside the work because they are thinking about a past version of themselves. Additionally in the video I feature clips of them moving in the present time but also photos of them in the past. In this way it is placing them in and out of the work. For this week, I really focused on perspective and who the point of view of the song is and who they are singing to.
