I have been stewing for the past few days on how I can improve as an artist over the second half of this semester. I believe I have made great progression in my transition from a biological to a methodical creation process. I think the next step I must take is to discover and see how other people create art from re-purposing old forgotten and discarded things. I think there is something very poetic about taking something old and reinventing it into something completely other to what it was originally created for. I am not just going to limit myself to just audiovisual content creators and artists. I am going to take this quest for improvement and influence into a more broad spectrum of art. I mentioned previously that there is an element I feel that was missing from Screen Project 1. That element is influence. Influence specifically in my way of thinking when I create these videos. I have been taking the process where I try to emulate a style or genre, without considering how I am thinking about this. What I mean by this is that I may be trying to create something completely new, but my thought process is still based in the avenue of an editor. To truly elevate my work and push into a new frontier personally as an artist, I need to not only think about what I am trying to create, But the thought process I am using while creating.

I am going to try and discover artists, both known and unknown (relatively), and analyse what they are creating and how they might be thinking when they create. Including the way they recycle. Seeing and absorbing art from different fields may even inspire me to think of something I may have never considered before.

Nothing is made in a vacuum, the World is closed system.
