My link to my awareness video game named Hyperfocus : (copy and paste it in your URL) http://www.philome.la/cam_babcock/hyperfocus Artist Statement:    Is there a difference between ADD and ADHD? Yes, they have similar symptoms but a different diagnosis. What are the symptoms like and they do they affect the person? I have met friends who have ADD. They are great examples to me because they work hard in their endeavors while having a great attitude towards the future. In researching more about Attention Deficit Order, there is much better treatment now than there was in the past.     Dictionary.com defines Attention Deficit Order as  any of a range of behavioral disorders occurring primarily in children, including such symptoms as poor concentration, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This disorder involves the physiology of the brain and his or hers environment. Now, in an article "Mental Disorder" by Andrew C.P. Sims, M.D. shares that now pat...

Artist Statement:   Bleecker’s statement that “one can do science fiction not only as a writer of stories but also as a maker of things” is exactly what we did for this project. We didn't create a science fiction narrative in which there is an exposition, climax, and resolution. Instead, we created a kind of narrative by making artifacts from a world that doesn't exist. These artifacts reflect a society that exists in a world in which dinosaurs never went extinct. They are, in fact “totems through which a larger story can be told, or imagined, or expressed.” This is essentially the process that James Gurney went through to write his  Dinotopia  series. These books tell the story of people who live with sentient dinosaurs. This idea came to him while working with  National Geographic  archaeologists to envision ancient cities. Gurney used, among other techniques, both photographs of costumed people and maquettes (or scale models) to create elements of his...

Webspinna Battle with Michelle Gioglio     Pokemon, boy bands, and Nickelodeon sums up my childhood from the 90's. I loved growing up in the 90's. I feel like my generation had the best kid shows growing up and yes I am bias to this opinion. I thought my generation would destroy Michelle's generation, the 70's. However, the thing that was destroyed was my ignorance. The ignorance I had to many of the things that were created or popular in the 70's was washed away when Michelle and I joined together in creating our sound bite lists. I knew of the classic Bee Gee's, Jackson 5, and Saturday Night Fever, but I wasn't aware of many other great influential things.      I loved the collaboration process with Michelle. We met together in her apartment and sat down with our laptops and YouTubed away for the sound bites that we desired. Next thing I knew, we were laughing together and sharing stories of our childhood and what art had an impact on us. I felt like t...

TEXTUAL POACHING  My mash up representation: Genesis to Babcock Genesis to Babcock1 - 3:9:15, 9.07 PM 1:56      Who am I? What's my identity? I started to brainstorm and write down all that was coming to mind on my notebook: son, brother, English, drummer, singer, piano player. I was seeing all of those together and one of my favorite musician/singer songwriter came to mind: Phil Collins. Phil Collins is an English man, drummer, son, singer, and piano player. Before Phil Collins began his solo career, he was involved with the band called Genesis. Genesis was a very successful band that introduced Phil Collins to the world. So, I decided to choose three songs by them that was created before I was born. The three songs are "Throwing it All Away", "Man on the Corner", and "Follow You and Follow Me". This mash up presents the band's talents and also their origin.       In reference to the reading, I think about what the text...
