pics from the art murmur

Because my phone had an epic fail so I didn’t actually upload pics immediately afterward

taken from my tumblr photoblog: causticameracrap

the kinds of people frequenting said art murmur // on the way over
@ the beginning of the street was an “oriental” crepe stand

i liked the crepes

i did not like the usage of the “orient”

read some edward said, bro

this is the burger truck i went to w/ claire

doc’s burgers
those were the individuals sittin on the ground singing the kumbaya

like literally singing that stuff
it got dark out pretty quick

& there was a block party on the other side of the art mumur

this is the party bus
& i guess “god” is watching over the party bus or something

wandering around on the street, near the galleries & away from the block party

finally in one of the galleries

i had to fight the urge to buy things in this one
really liked a lot of his pieces, with the mixing of the ultraviolent & the pop culture
walking into the other gallery - with the exhibits in the work spaces of the artists
one of the artist’s workplaces // work shelf
i found it very a la Tim Burton’s style

idk maybe more James & the Giant Peach more than anything

which scared me as a child, btw
detail of his face
another sculpture
some of the marionettes
one of my favorite exhibits

straight to the point
walking away we were treated to this sight

My Letter to Markiplier After His Curtis Lepore Collab

Hey Mark. You're probably not going to see this, given every bit of a mail you get, but I have to get this off my chest.  & you have to know what's happening.  What’s REALLY happening. Let me start off with this: I have been a committed fan since September 2012.  I have been an active member of the community on Tumblr [I remember when it was EMPTY & literally only me & six other people posting videos.]  I have been to a number of livestreams & donated to a number of charities.  I’ve been a part of many Facebook groups that have come & gone.  & I have gotten to know other Markiplier fans in schools & communities that I have been in.  Believe me when I say that I adore you & this channel.  You inspire me to be a better person with your charity work.  You have been the reason I keep going through tough times in my life.  You have been a motivation for us all. However, I have a multitude of issues...

re: VIDEO-GAMING / LP SERIES - This did not age well

I forgot this blog existed. My life is so utterly different now. I used to maintain this blog as a middle schooler, then for a variety of arts classes two colleges ago (you can imagine the cringe I deleted at that time to save face). It was an outlet to my fixations at the time, one of them being the rise of Let's Player content and Gaming Personalities on YouTube.  I was a fan of many content creators. Unfortunately, almost all of them have been subject to extreme scrutiny and various cancellation attempts - for a variety of Valid reasons. I will get into this, don't worry. I have since deleted and/or privated posts singing the praises of these content creators. I don't make those decisions lightly. And in my mind, there's a difference between being embarrassed at the "cringe" nature of my "takes" a decade ago, and wanting to remove any content that praises people who have since been outed as groomers, predators, abusers, racists, and even fascist...

controversial essay response

Discussion prompt: In this module, we briefly touched on the topic of compassion fatigue as it relates to public exposure to images of war and human suffering. With these sources in mind, consider the following question: Can compassion fatigue be reconciled with the need to bear witness? Is it possible to bear witness and reach an audience despite the risk/existence of compassion fatigue?   Use examples from the module content to illustrate your argument. Another element must be considered in order to bridge the gap between the two extremes of bearing witness and experiencing compassion fatigue.  Simply witnessing or exposing situations falls short of what is truly required.  An event doesn’t just need to be perceived; there needs to be a call to action.   If there is no nuance, no greater purpose, exposing or recalling an event becomes repetitive at best, exploitative at worst.  But sadly the formula for conflict photography (identify conflict area, photo...
