Assignments
1. Art Walk

The man hole cover was the least public art because you cant stand and enjoy it for long before people come by to and bump into you.

The 66 sign wasn't something that I would call art because personally I don't think it is.

The buildings along the art walk were amazing and I would wish to go back and photograph them.

Guerrilla Marketing of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie


A show called Aqua Teen Hunger Force did some almost free advertising in some major cities all around America. The cities that had the devices are as followed: New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco, and Boston which was the only city to freak out about this advertising.

It started in November 2006 when Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens planned to do some graffiti art for the upcoming movie for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Peter and Sean were asked by someone at Interference, Inc. to place 40 light bright signs which they then got people in the other cities to do the some thing. The devices were black circuit boards with LED lights that made a sign of a character from the show called Ignignokt. At the bottom of the sign there ware four D-cell batteries. There were magnets on the back of the device so that it could easily be mounted to any metal surface.

Boston Bomb Scare

This graffiti art advertisement led to something that should never happened and only happened because people didn’t know what a light bright looks like. January 31. 2007 early in the morning the Boston Police department started getting alls that there was a device on the support of Interstate 93. By 9 am the bomb squad was called in to identify the device. Even though both of the men were at the site watching as the police check out the device all the time they did speak up once to tell the police that it was just LED lights and batteries. One of the two, Peter Berdovsky, brought a video camera and recorded the police checking out the device. The bomb squad destroyed the device with an explosive water charge because the device looked like a make shift bomb with a power source, circuit board, wires, and electrical tape. After this the police reported that the device was a hoax later in the there were more reports of these device all over the city. There were two other locations the Longfellow Bridge and Boston University Bridge that had to be closed down because of two other devices were found on them. Interference Inc. heard what was going on in Boston and told the men that put the devices up to just stay quiet about the whole thing. A Police Analyst finally figured out that the device were from the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. After that Interference contacted Cartoon Network the company that hired them to put up the devices. Cartoon Network made a public statement after hearing from Interference about the scare. They said that they regretted what happened in Boston and were going to tell the Boston Police were all the rest of the LED devices were planted.

The Result of the Guerrilla Art 

The officials of the city decided with Turner Broadcasting that both companies would have to pay two million dollars as a settlement for all criminal acts. Half of the money went to the Boston Police department and the other half went to the United States Department of Homeland Security. Less then a week after the incident the head of Cartoon Network step down from his position believing that it was entirely his fault for what happened in Boston under his watch. Berdovsky and Stevens were arrested on the day of the all of this happened and charged with placing a hoax device to incite panic, a felony charge that carries a five-year maximum sentence. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges and later posted bail for 2,500 dollars. When they were released the two men held a press conference and during the conference all they talked about was hair styles in the 70’s. At their arraignment they were accused of trying to get attention by causing fear and unrest with in the general population. In the end all the two men got were 80 hours of community service working at Spaulding Rehabilitation Center in Boston.

Reflective assessment
I had fun during Humanities learning about different kinds of art that is out there. I learned that public art can be destructive and constructive. I felt that I was prepared for class every time I showed up to class. I feel prepared to go out in the world and create my own public art. I hope that I can do public art that will be seen by many people. I sadly don’t think I contributed much to the class I mostly sat there and listen to what was going on during class. I am not much for lecture classes that is why I have become an Artist photographer. I love doing my final project in that class because while putting up my public art I got the best weird looks from people. I loved the concept of public art in all its sense. The concept of clean graffiti is amazing to have a dirty wall and make art out of cleaning it. The only bad thing about General Education classes at our school is that we have the teachers to teach the class but no one is interested in taking them. Although I would be happy to take Steve’s class again.

Reflective assessment
I felt like this English class was kind of a let down. I didn't like how the mid term was turned into our final that just made our class kind of lazier. The Gnome group pretty much had there stuff done with week 4 and they had nothing to do after that week for the rest of the quarter. Steve was a great teacher I just think that next quarter he should be harder on his class to get things done. I worked hard on the first Research all by myself and I was ok with that at the time thinking that my group would finish the other stuff. It came to week 4 and no one had done there stuff, I personally felt betrayed. Then when we had the extra time to finish it and we still waited till week 11 to write and finish the new research paper. I personally hate group projects and this just confirmed it. But there was some good in this project when I asked Amber work on the short story she told me that his had already started one. She had honestly been working on the project for at least 4 weeks.
