 We are going to start our open studio exhibition. These are students from Fine Art Experimental Media. They prepare something for us. Happy to see you here. Yeah, I think everyone's ready. We can start. So I will present myself very quick. I'm Selina. I'm studying my MA Fine Art Masters, Masters in Fine Art on Brock College. And I'm also a social media ambassador. So I'm here. We're happy to be here. We're going to start an exhibition, as I said. It's an open studio exhibition with our students from Fine Art Experimental Media. They prepared something for us. And we also have here with us Kelly and John. If you can maybe wave. Kelly is the program leader and John. He's the main teacher. Thank you guys for putting this together for all of us. So if you may please kind of start with telling us about the program, what are the students have been doing for the past years? What are we going to, what are we expecting to see today? Thanks. Thank you, Selina. Yeah, sure. So I'm Kelly Hoban. I'm the program leader of our Bachelor's of Fine Art Experimental Media program, which is a three-year degree. It takes three years to earn this degree. The students who are here presenting today are currently in their third year, only actually less than a semester away from graduating. In the first two years of the program, students experience a lot of different media. They study in traditional media like drawing, painting, and sculpture. And our program really emphasizes new media, the use of technology. And this is why our program is called Fine Art Experimental Media. So they work with animation, video and sound production, three-dimensional animation, 3D game art. Some of our students explore virtual reality and augmented reality in their studio practice. So after two years of really exploring a lot of different approaches and studio-based research to really establish a person's own studio practice, in the third year, our students choose their own path, their own direction. They select the media and the approach that they really want to pursue as a professional artist. So they spend the year really fine-tuning and developing this independent studio practice with the support of critiques, support of lectures, tutorials, individual attention. And they cultivate this practice throughout the entire year, which ends with a final exhibition. And John Hill is the module leader for the independent studio practice module in the autumn and the final exhibition module in the spring. So maybe I can hand it over to John. Yeah, thanks. So I mean, I teach all throughout the three years of the Prague College fine art course, working with people in theory, working with them on exhibition practice, but it's really in the third year where I'm the module leader and the head of the studio program in the third year, where I get to really work with students on what they make and on what they want to make. And it's in third year that students get their own studio space. And Sophie and Kea are currently in the first floor studio space. Oh, and you can see now. So this is a video we took early today of the fine art studios on the first floor of our studio building called Bishops Court. And that's where students will spend the whole of their final year really working on projects in any media, any of the medias they've worked with throughout their time at Prague College, whether it's digital or whether it's a more traditional drawing or painting or photography. And they have two full semesters, first of all, to develop really fine tune what exactly it is they're going to do, the tools they're going to work with, the media they're going to work with, the ideas they're going to work with. And then in the final semester, the final half of their third year, which is where we are now, we've just started, it's really about taking that work and getting it ready to show, getting it ready for a final exhibition where there'll be a public audience to really come and see a completed body of work. And it doesn't need to be one thing. It doesn't need to be in one kind of art. It doesn't need to be in one media. And as you'll see, I think the students who are going to show you work today, they're all working across a range of different things, even right up to the end. But it's all being brought together through their study, through their research into a single practice, a single thing that they can say, each part of the work that I'm showing is part of the same way of thinking, part of the same, my own personal artistic approach to my own, the thing I want to say, or the thing I want to do, or the thing that I want to put into the world. And they get a chance for everyone gets a chance to see that at the final exhibition, which this year will be right at the end of June. Thank you, John. I don't know if someone from the students want to say something about their space that we're seeing on screen, any comments around how do you feel Bishop's Court, this studio is based in Central Dunham Prague, very close to many things from the front main campus too, so if any student want to just comment about the space, what guys do you think about the space you are giving? I think it really depends on what you want to do. Like, different parts of the spaces have a different aura. For instance, my studio is a bit near the window and it's really nice, but it's not that cozy and it's a bit cold. But mainly I was doing maybe some watercolors or some collecting of trash there, so it's fine. And it's really close to a lot of shops. Sometimes just grab some oranges, I mean. Yeah, I think this school and the studio provides, like, they provide the alternatives for what you want to express or dive into an experiment with. So if it is digital, there's good internet and good computers to use. Or if you want to do paintings, there's also like the teachers in painting and sculpture that will help you. And I think the teacher has different attributes that they can provide also different opinions and a good broad spectrum of knowledge. Yeah, for sure. So I think it's great. I'm also, as I said, studying on the Fine Arts program and I also have a shared space studio and I think it's one of the best features out of these programs that us, like we have a space where we can just completely be creative and use as we want. And it is great for our own research, artistic research and experimentation. So with that said, I think it's enough for introductions and I think everyone is eager to see some of your work. So let's start with the work of Sophie. You can wave your hand on me and just show us your work, what you've been doing. Yeah, so I think we had a portion in the video that sort of showcased one of the things that I was doing, which is an installation. And I, this past semester and just in general, I think I've been very interested in memories and sort of how we remember things and how that can become something very specific or something very general and sort of the way how our brains work in that way. So that was sort of one of the bigger topics that I was looking into this semester. So the installation itself has a sound part and a more visual part with photos. And it sort of is both talking about the difference in sort of very vivid memories and memories that are more forgotten or more like a very specific concept of a memory. So that's sort of what the thing itself was about. I will share part of your video with everyone. So we can see it again there. This is a little bit about the photos. Like, did you got them from during a period of time? Are they recent? Yeah, so the photos are basically from a very big archive that I had, which are photos that I've been taking of just my life, my friends, sort of very vivid moments that I wanted, in the moment, sort of wanted to remember. And it's like a really big archive at this point because I think I started it back in like 2012 maybe. And I've always wanted to give some input with those into my artistic practice. So I first always more used them as sort of an archive. And now I really wanted to see more how I could make them part of this installation because the sounds that you're hearing are a lot of people, friends, for my life that are talking about a very vivid memory that they had. So that's sort of describing something very vivid in my mind. And I think a lot of the photos that I use for this piece are things that are very vivid memories, but maybe they also sort of became vivid memories because I have photos of them. So there's sort of like a two-part setup where part of it is the sound installation and then the part of it is like a part of that archive of photos that I had that I'll have some sort of a context on the back so that you could sort of go through them physically. Thanks for any questions that anybody has. You can just pop them on the chat of the Zoom or Facebook and I will just keep going, going back to them. So then we have, let me just stop, sorry, Niklas. Hi, Niklas here. You want to wave your hand and talk to us a little bit about your work, please. Yes, so I have this a bit chaotic space that have kind of fluxed. Like first I was sitting next to the window and was working next to Anthony. But my sort of creative process expanded through the shared space of the studio. It's kind of working with the relationship with like the environment, how we were influenced with, influenced by all the impressions that we take notice of or we don't take notice of it. So in the beginning I was kind of like, I was sort of feeling my colleagues and fellow students who was working and I ended up moving my space to this, this what you see and putting, trying to concise all of the stuff into this smaller space or kind of big space. But, and so I'm trying to understand our environment of like, yeah, trying to understand how things work. So it has led to me focusing on textures and also like this because, so I, and yeah. So this, so then I work with the material that I have at my disposal and it becomes my gesture, sort of like an interactive work process and going back and forward and trying to see how the space work within itself or maybe I take it out like in a white box kind of scenario and or I'll put it back inside my, my ongoing work space that, and I'm creating the environment and I'm creating the environment and trying to think about like, what's the different with making an environment or making an installation. And yeah, so it's kind of a lot of things to think about and you see some of my tools that I work with and that is also important to me. What about if I can interrupt you? What about this work? Yes. A little bit about it. Yes, so this work I called the Risesware and it's kind of like a Risesware is the area around the roots of a tree or a plant there. And so it's about the being like growth and what it's, and I'm thinking about that and you can think about the different things like sitting under a tree and meditate. And I guess when you present artwork, what are you trying to say and thinking about this? And I guess I would want to inspire people to meditate. So I have a tree on top of my head. Thank you. I will jump now to Teya. You can maybe raise your hand so we see you. Okay, I see you now. Hi. So let me pop your video and start telling us a little bit about your work. What do you want to show us today? Sure. So I mainly work with the video and most of my time at Prague College so far I've been exploring how I want to use that video and I want to communicate with the video. And I've also been exploring performance art during this time. And still a lot of my work is centered around video and how video relates to performance as well. This past semester I spent most of my time working on my research thesis and also understanding what my own practice is about. So I was experimenting with a lot of mainly digital things, one of which is I was using a lot of medical imagery in my work. And this is because of a workshop that I attended last year and I've basically been doing a lot of experiments with that kind of material. And a lot of my work also includes my own image. As you can see on my website, it literally starts with my face. So yeah, there's a lot of me in my videos. The one you're seeing on the screen right now is actually the one that I'm going to show you. And just to talk about this, maybe just talk about this specific video. Because we had to make a video CV and I really wanted to make something that I want to be able to show people outside of applying for a job or submitting for a project in school. I wanted to make something that I personally like and I can say that it's mine. And it's, you know, it has something to do with my own practice. So I used videos of people that I know that I've worked with. And I just used videos of them talking about me and their experience of working with me. So this video is mainly about understanding how working with those people has shaped my practice. And that's what I wanted to do. So I wanted to make something that I personally like and I can say that it's mine and it's, you know, it has something to do with my own practice. And that's why this is my video CV. Yeah. I'm going to rock. I worked with Kaya on the project that was called insider with very word team of four women working together. We were creating a. Installation performance for one person at a time. Working with Kaya is always fun. She is very creative. She always, she was a great attribute in the process because she was always thinking differently. The other three of us were working more in. Performative arts and so her. Thinking was always very different and she always brought like. Ideas that were new to us and a little bit. What we were thinking. So that was always a great way of working together. She's also very hardworking. She's maybe too hardworking. I don't know. But she never really gives up on anything. She really wants to try anything. The people you interviewed, they knew they were going to be on this, on this piece or you like didn't tell them anything. You were just like, Hey, what do you think about me? You were just like, Hey, what do you think about me right now? I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Sorry, how was the approach? I actually had like a whole plan for the video. See the initially that I wanted to, I had, I had kind of written a basic script on the way. So I had written down messages to each of these people that I want to use. I want to just, just send me a short video. Of you talking about me. when we work together and how you felt. So I didn't I didn't really tell them exactly what to say, but I did give them some structure of what I want them to talk about. And it just so happens that everyone sent really long videos. I didn't expect that I thought I would just say give me like 30 seconds of how much you love me. But then everyone sent really nice long videos and I thought this is what the whole thing should be about. Yeah. Yeah, all right, like kind of respecting the material you receive from other people and not trying to fix it on a box, it's maybe kind of one of the challenges. Yeah, that's true. Okay, thank you. Thank you Gaya for the material. Thank you. Now give the word to Elisabeth. Elisabeth, can you? I'm not sure Lisa was able to join the call today. Sorry, sorry. So Anthony, I see you there in class. So be sure that you don't get about your work. I will put it on the share screen once again. Yes, so my work started with the comments from my previous teacher of concert. He said that he knew that I breathed like a thousand or a million times a second. And so my work is basically about digestion. So this year I kind of diagnosed as having Crohn's disease, which I'm still kind of skeptical kind of. But so all this is my trying of like how to poke because at first I didn't trust like restaurant food. And so this is also my food log and this is my planning of how like how I can show all these things. So there's one layer of my personal digestion to understand what I should eat at where and what. And there's a part where I was asking my mom, my nutritionist, my doctors, or perhaps my spiritual master in India, they all speak total fucking different things. And so I'm so confused. And that's why I knew I need to build my own layer of understanding. And so you see all of these. And while in the video somehow you can see a shelf. And that is the second layer of digestion, which is kind of like a lot of the times I ate forgettable boulevard, which now I kind of don't want to buy too much of it. But anyway, I had accumulated a lot of forgettable boulevard reps and all the different kinds materials, mainly papers and some trust, let's see, so much. And so I think that although these are maybe perhaps 40% of the waste that I produce, I think that is also a good practice for me to think about how I can digest my experience generally. So the next semester I might try to ask help from him to help me to kind of try to build an environment from these kind of trash and thinking about digestion. We are all dealing with more information and we ask other people for advice, but we never really ask about ourselves, about how we feel and think about it. And I think we should instead of trying to tackle the problem of how I can digest, how I can guide my own normal digestion. So to shape or to like have a second or third eye to see how I normally think and so to change how I normally think. So it's kind of a matter, but anyway, all these things is about digestion. So I think that's it for me. So was there a kind of some guideline or parameter for the food you were choosing to try? Like were you wearing all types of food or any recommendation or are you wearing it yourself? So it depends on different period of time. For instance, there were a period of time where I was super weak and so every day I cook the same thing which is chicken breast or ice. And then later on I feel better. So I start to eat cooked things that are less oily. And even in vegan restaurants, although they are kind of healthy, but they are oftentimes oily as well. So at the period of time I have this decision. And then at the period of time there are different choice decisions because I maybe I asked my nutrition for advice and she said something, oh, you should not eat eggs. And so I tried to not eat eggs, but I realized that it's kind of fucking impossible for now, at least for my current brain. I just cannot handle how I just cannot think about like what is the otherwise. So in this naivety, so in my own, so now I'm acknowledging how naive I am. And so now I'm just trying to cook and eat with my naiveness. While at the same time I know that I have to learn cooking better. But so there's some kind of balance. And it's not about what to eat. It's about what to eat at what moment and what environment. And yeah, it's kind of like just to be present, I think, to find a comfort in yourself a bit like this. I personally find it pretty relatable. Like there's no one being that doesn't have this process of digestion. I think you can have kind of have thoughts around it. Yeah. And it's also like now that I'm eating and I'm thinking, oh, I can still survive. It's fine. I can still, now I'm better, so I eat Western food. But at the same time you kind of understand that perhaps I still have to learn about it, even though now I feel good eating Western food. So it's like, it's like what I eat now and what I eat before I got diagnosis is a bit, it's quite similar. But the understanding is different because I do all this research and how understanding what I feel about different kinds of food. Nadia, if you can talk to us a little bit about your work while I put your video on. Sure. So because of this current situation, I haven't been really working in the studio itself that much. So it ended up just being me having all my things in my apartment. And I didn't know how to really display all this stuff that I made, as it was a mixture of digital things that you can't really see here from this video that much. But there are videos and different things that I was just exploring. I really wanted to focus this time, this studio time on just trying to make as much content as possible to then pick and choose and maybe see what I'm really interested in to kind of develop further into the final project that we're going to be working on right now in the semester. So I decided to bring the things that I made. And since it was a lot of different things, physical and digital, I created this installation because I didn't have a set space in the studio anyway. I thought, why not make it like play with the content? So how do I kind of display it in an interesting way? Therefore, I put it in the toilet in the bathroom, just a really unconventional place. But it worked with the content really well, I think, especially with the video. After seeing that the projection really fits with the ceiling, just how it dimensionally kind of fits in the ceiling, I thought, okay, I'm going to do that. So you can sit on the toilet, look up, watch the video that's created with different textures. I really was interested in exploring, like creating the body, kind of taking it apart and maybe making something else out of it. It's almost like making like processing it through like a food processor. I don't know. It's just all texture, very meaty, fleshy looking things, kind of maybe landscaping, maybe a little bit overwhelming, especially in this tiny space. So yeah. And yeah, I also did some paintings there. I was really with the physical things, the mask that's right at the beginning. This is a failed experiment. This phone was used as a texture in the video. And I was also exploring different parts of the body. So, for example, you know, bones or teeth that are my own. This is a painting of my fucked tooth, unfortunately. The spray paints were also stenciled from the model of my teeth. And this is my video CV playing on the computer. And yeah, the mask at the very, very beginning with the white one with the teeth on the two was made. Yes, this one. It was modeled. The teeth are a cast from the Alginate that dentists use. So I put dentures in and then made a copy of this set of teeth and painted it and glued it onto the mask. And the hair, it's real hair. It's my hair from my childhood, which is also what makes it so personal. I named it it's personal because it's kind of all the memories that it holds and the relationship of me with my hair and how I use it to express myself. And I still do to some degree and how it kind of affected me as a woman, as a person growing up and all that stuff. So yeah. I understand your video on the bottom has some audio. So no, no, it doesn't. Only the CV, but that's like a separate thing. Oh, well, yeah, so just a question now, like you didn't think about the space, it just fit. I think that's very interesting, like we're not in a first layer, we think that would fit, but maybe you're really in space. I don't know how did it occur to you when you saw the bathroom? So I knew it. I knew kind of how it looks. But with me, with my process, everything is always last minute. It's always pushed to the very, very, very last thing. So when I heard that, oh, now we have to think about installing it in the real space, because it was a question. Do I show it digitally only because I knew I'm going to be away? I'm away from the country now. So there was a suggestion, maybe you can make a video of your videos and of your works. But I was like, I have three days. This is too much work. I'm sick of working with computers. I want it in the real space. I want to have a hammer in my hand and just slump some stuff to the wall, you know, like it's fabric. So I thought, okay, I'm going to make it in the studio. But then I was sitting down with some of my friends, like Kaya and Sophie. And there was this list of people just reserving space. And actually I think Kaya was the one that suggested maybe you can use the bathroom. I was like, yes. Okay, let's try it. And then I tried it and I loved it. But it was a very chaotic, very, very fast process of me trying to pack my stuff and leave the country. And also set it all in the studio with all the restrictions that are going on. So. Yeah, I think for artists now it's one of the main challenge. Like, maybe you're not in the place, but just with COVID, the pandemic going around, where do we show our work? Who wants to display it? Does our work need to fit this space? Like, there is a whole conversation going on about, so we have to make it digital. Not so everybody can see it. Yes. I think your installation kind of reflects that challenge that artists are dealing with now. Like, so where do I put it? Which gallery? Exactly. Thank you, Nadia. I think for your work. Thank you. Okay, so does anyone, let me just check the chat, have some questions? These are the list of students I have. So yeah, I have some questions here in the chat. So, I will just ask them. So Sophie, we have a question about the sound installed in your space. So, like, what is it is? Where do you got it? General about the sound? Like, if there was any special process to it? Yeah, so I think in my practice I've always been very interested in sort of being able to convey messages through foreign languages. Being like an expat in progress, I think that's like a very central thing to a lot of people's lives. So I had in the past always used a lot of samples from different languages or different people talking. So these were specifically conversations I was having with friends of mine about they're all describing memories that they have and the most vivid memory that they have from their past. And we were sort of having conversations with them and I took a lot of snippets from them. So I think it's like a Norwegian girl, a Ukrainian, Turkish, there's some Dutch in there, there's some Austrian in there, some German. So it's a big mingle of all these different languages and sort of all trying to convey a story to you. That was sort of very much intent that it was them telling a story to you. So when you sort of walk through the room, they're all from a couple different speakers so that you could sort of get closer to some people telling you the story. And so it sort of matches with the things that are displayed. You're on mute, Selena. Thanks, sorry, right over here, you're on mute. So I'm sorry, Kaja, this is for you actually about finding collaborators to work in Prague. How difficult was to reach for these people with the current situation? I would say most of the people I've met kind of started through Prague College honestly. One of the first people that I started working with was one of my teachers, Christina. And through her, I met some more people in Verna who also enjoyed like working with me. So it's really just been about meeting people through whatever immediate connections I can make. So school has been a good way to do that. But it does take some, I would say it does take some action, like you really need to be more active and try and work with people that you meet in school. I asked them, some of the people are actually from Bombay. Two of the people in the video are from India. Before coming to Prague, I was also, I was working in a digital marketing company. So I already have like some experience of working with people and in like a more sort of corporate-ish so those are the people who are also in the video. I think I want to add something. I think like if there's no COVID, like even in COVID, I think Prague is kind of having a free vibe where there's a lot of like young community that is starting up and or like it's mainly going to those places that you talk to people and then it's not like you directly gain connection from there, but it's like you see them enough and they kind of invite you to do something. And so it's being activist not only like in the school, but also like maybe asking your teachers to invite you to some kind of exhibition and some kind of parties and those people are really interesting. And yeah, I think that's one of the really important things to do as an artist in Prague, I think. So maybe I would be maybe curious about stranger's first impressions, but maybe it would be a little difficult to talk to someone and be like, hey, what do you think about just for how I'm right now? I think it would be kind of also a challenge. I don't know, I'm just thinking about it. It was better before COVID. Now maybe a little bit like less people and then so it seems like more stranger, but if there's more people, it's like everyone is it's also kind of stranger. So it doesn't really matter if you're a stranger or not. I have a question for Nadia about the content of your videos. I will share again and I know this is maybe a little bit hard to see with the video we have. So you can just talk us through what we can see on the videos. What you can see. What we can't see. What we can't see. Okay, so there. Yeah, this one was my video CV, which is because I mean, that was a task to one of the tasks that we had to do was to create a video CV. But it kind of grew on me like when I first learned about that we have to do this, I really hated the idea. I thought it's pointless and just terrible because I hate writing artist statements and CVs and all that stuff. But with the video as a medium and with the ability to create an artwork out of it in a way, it really became a statement, like a really strong thing that tied everything that I did together. Even though it was, as I said, a lot of different things that you can also see here. There was like a series of photos and all that stuff. This was like a very important piece in the end. So I decided to display it even if only on this monitor. And the projection in the bathroom was like a bunch of experiments with textures and just tied together so it would play with with the space a little bit. So if it was dark and if you were sitting there with the doors closed, it would look like kind of an illusion of the ceiling moving and everything being kind of overwhelmingly above you that you can look at. And I used a lot of different techniques here. I think the video is a couple minutes long and this piece right here was created with artificial intelligence. It was a bunch of pictures of human face features like a smile, I think, an eye, a couple of different variations of those. And then it was put through an algorithm that looks for a landscape in a picture. But it wasn't a landscape. It was a piece of face, right? So it kind of distorted the images and made this lateral walk, I think it's called, where it creates a sequence from pictures into a video. So it kind of morphs together and it looks like this now. If I can ask why a landscape, why did you choose the algorithm of landscape and not any other? To kind of have something that's a little bit recognizable but not really. So I didn't want it to preserve the look of an eyeball or like the look of a smile with a mouth and teeth. I wanted it to have an uncanny kind of baked resemblance to something that you know. So to just look fleshy and look like a part of a human or like an organism in a way, but not to an extent that you can clearly tell what it is. I find it very interesting with the whole story and it fits with the bathroom idea, right? Yes, I mean it is a little bit gross and yeah. Okay, I will go to Nikolas now. We have a question for you and I'll just find you on the video here so you can see your space and your work. Nice. Yeah, nice. It's a good development, like what have changed if you're working here in Brock College and like is there some variation to your work? Yeah, nice questions. Like before I was painting a lot and I consider and kind of have a challenge of like how abstract my painting would be and I always kind of like almost went abstract but kind of had some figurative elements to keep it bounded. But it feels like trying all the new media or the technology and so on like really broadened my all the tools that are available for my art practice and having a lot of challenges like this which you don't see here but this kind of then again went like full circle so I sort of come back to the painting but it's like I paint freely with the materials. I'm not bound to paint and brushes. You see like there's cardboard and fabrics and in some ways it's still sort of like a painting to me when I work but it's freely working with all the materials that are available to me. Yeah and also like the biggest change I guess is instead of painting and having the experiment experimental factor of painting as a research also like dive into research like read up on what the artist and teachers that give you advice look on this look in that and then it's like a rabbit hole they can just go deep and deep in and read up on so much stuff which it's I guess the biggest change to to my art practice. Check if you have a question on Facebook. Someone from Thailand is watching hey there and they comment on the Facebook. Yeah so if you have any other questions don't be shy pop them I'm checking for them here in the chat. I think it was an awesome display of how different it is now how maybe you guys started in a different scenario and you have to adapt to the studio work and adapt to what's happening and changing your research practice which for me personally it's kind of the most challenging part like maybe I can just come and get all these tools and try to do something but then the research has to hold fine even this time it was like a little disconnected on display because we had like all these other things to process through so yeah I don't think there don't have any questions I'm receiving so I'm not young if you want to tell us something after hearing your students like if there is any that you anything that you will add to their work or something that maybe you notice more because sometimes us as students we don't see this process and our teachers can have clear a timeline. Well I mean the only thing I would say which I think was quite obvious from from what everyone said and all the work they showed was one and how much people are working together and how much like it's like so much of having a studio practice about is about conversations between between different people about their work whether that's through like the organized critiques and tutorials that we do or whether that's just people talking to each other in the studio and that's like a really important part of what makes what makes the course work and unlike how you learn to how you learn to be an artist I guess and then the other thing I thought was also just to say thinking about how like flexible the studio is so different people sometimes you're making very small work sometimes you're making very big work and the space we have that you can see there is a really big or really flexible space so sometimes you can take over a whole part of the whole corner of the studio to do an installation like Sophie has at the moment or like Nicholas has done and sometimes it's more about like bringing things together collecting things and you don't need so much space but when you do need it it's there and it's there for you to be able to use yeah so and I think like everyone um this this year has done a really good job of kind of making the best use of the of the space available while they can. Thanks Yann and guys how does it affect your work to be seeing like your classmates or maybe other other artists like I know now it's mainly on digital and maybe you're not there but for me it kind of affects to see fellow artists working and how have you seen it in obviously reflected in your work and the work that you show that you maybe I don't know Nicholas if you kind of changed from painting was it the contact with your other classmates or was it something else? I think it's like the reason why I chose this school I like just to kind of become or stay contemporary and to have the arsenal of new media and but the space it's it's a it's a it's a shared space but you have like your your your place where you can be private and work with your stuff but it's it's both a challenge but like something that gives you a lot that that you have your classmates next to you or across in across the studio and yeah I mentioned how my I when I think about my work I think about and all the impressions that you get if they're conscious or not and and it's a it's a great great studio space where people work hard under the things yeah definitely I've been there like once to be honest but I had like because the first first week of the semester last semester was a hybrid so I could be there and it was like a great space I think everyone every creative either designer artist needs this type of this type of space and also this type of webinars of open studio exhibition so that we can receive comments and I think it helps to talk about your work to people that have never seen me before besides your classmates so I think it was a great to have you here we have some comments on on the face of saying great job cool great job Anthony I think your your work it's it's getting out there and I can I can maybe close just encouraging you to keep sharing it we can keep creating uh these spaces in social media for just broadcasting your work and I just wish you the best of luck for the next semester and what you're going to have presenting as your last one I think it might be very exciting what we're going to see in the summer hopefully we can be in person this time next time and if there's not any question any other question guys or any other comments that you want to say I will play one last time the whole video for you guys maybe just checking just very very positive comments guys around your work you can also maybe pop your social media on the chat for people or on the facebook comments so they can see it there yeah I think it was with the current situation very great to see you know because we're kind of disconnected now and that you prepare these videos and all your work it kind of gives us an idea of what you're working on and what can be done starting from college yes Of course, I would never do that. That's why you should have me. Introduction from College 2017 to 2021 for the Binary Experimental Anyone. School of Binary is an echo of 2011 to 2017 in the studio, especially out in Fort County.
