Experiment 7

I decided to do a choose-your-own-adventure game, but was only able to do one scene with time constraints. I am debating whether to build off of it for my final project.

Final Project Write Up

Final Project Link: Eulogy for My Spanish Artist Statement: "Eulogy for My Spanish" is an animated poem that presents itself like an old heart monitor, exploring themes of death and individual loss of language. I was influenced by Young Hae Chang Heavy Industry's work and their use of simple but effective animation for narration and poetry. Like them, I wanted to have a minimalist feel to my work. However, I experimented with more animation on individual words, as well as used heartbeat and heart monitor sound effects instead of music to go along with the theme of death in the poem. I also used a dark background with white font to give it a more foreboding feeling. The poem is meant to reflect the experience of being Latinx-American and dealing with backlash from Americans for speaking Spanish. Documentation: When I first had the idea for the video, I decided to use a poem inspired by another work I had written. Originally, the poem read: You were ever...

Final Project Proposal

Title : Eulogy to My Spanish Summary : My project is going to be an animated poem. The poem is going to be about my experiences and feelings about stopping the use of my native language, specifically why I stopped using it and how I feel years later about rejecting it. I am probably going to be using an Adobe program, though I am not sure if I will be using Adobe Animate, After Effects, or Photoshop. I want the aesthetic to be very simple and minimalist, focusing more on the words themselves and their movements than any background movement or anything too complicating and distracting. Keywords : animated text, digital poetics At the moment, I do not think I want to show my work Wednesday 12/12. Details : My project is going to be an animated poem. I want to experiment with having more control of how fast a reader is reading the words and what I want them to focus more on and just their general experience with the text. The digital aspect of my work is that it is going to be...

Translation and Multilingual Practices

I think agree with the Raley reading in that I think it is at least difficult and at most impossible for language technologies to be refined to the point of being true to the translation. I think that though translation technologies are definitely useful, it would be way too much to be able to translate the small inflectional differences language has, mostly idioms, since they vary across the world and even across countries who speak the same language. One of the points I found interesting is that language technologies are very English-centered, which I think largely limits the accessibility of them. I do think, however, that the use of language technologies could be useful in art. Not so much in doing something like translating books, which I do very much think need a native speaker of the target language who can understand how to genuinely and not literally translate certain parts of the book, or poems that sometimes hold importance in structure that cannot be done by just literal ...
