Cameron Babcock's Media TMA 112

Medium Specificity T-Shirts are at the bottom of the page      The choice to be able to use any medium we desire is a thrill. I was sitting back in my school chair pondering all of the mediums that were coming to mind, film, painting, photography, maybe even interpretive dance. Then, the idea came to me like a fireball hitting Mt. Doom. I would make my own t-shirt. The medium that contains cotton and ink. Now as I was struck with that idea I overheard Dhane Taylor, a student from my TMA 112 class, speaking with a friend telling her that he was going to make a shirt. I thought he must have been hit with same fireball. Well if we were both targeted and hit, then we should collaborate and make TWO t-shirts. We collaborated and we decided to make one t-shirt, my t-shirt, say, "Since when did this (a picture of a man with a mustache) become more attractive than...".

This story contains many internal and external conflicts such as the test of diligence on the trek and dealing with sickness. While researching...

Process Piece of Garret Helgesen and Cameron Babcock Trip to Sundance Audio Artist Statement:      As we discussed ideas for the Process Piece, we thought: What process should we record using audio? What are we doing this weekend? I am going to Sundance. So am I. Well, lets record us making the trip to Sundance. We decided to record the trip starting with us walking to the car all the way to us leaving Sundance. The process was eye opening and the product captures the ambient sounds at the Sundance Festival.       Regarding the process, there were many interesting things that I never have paid attention to in traveling to a destination like Sundance. Traveling by car accompanies many sounds like the car door sound opening, the engine rolling, the radio playing, and the sounds from friends enjoying the time. By pushing record on the mic, my awareness was heightened specifically to all of the footsteps around us and sounds of a car full of frien...
