It took me a while to come up with an idea for this one. After doing some journaling and trying out a few things, I decided to take shots of the view of my windshield on my way to class. The result was about 400 photographs I then had to sift through. I picked the ones that I recognized the most. I was surprised to find how little I pay attention on my morning commute.
I narrowed it down to 32 shots, starting from the back of my house to the parking lot of the stadium. I then used one of the photographs to cut the window out of. I picked the one that captured motion of my turning the steering wheel. I then proceeded to cut out each sliver of all 32 photographs, stitched them together and blended them into one. It took forever, but the result turned out pretty cool! I was surprised, because for me this assignment was more about the idea of what the product was rather than what it looked like. That is a trend that seems to pop up a lot in my artwork. Fortunately, I go to a conceptual art school so they usually appreciate it. Anyway, when you first look at the picture I feel like you don't necessarily notice there's something wrong. Maybe it's just blurry or something. My favorite part is that I can still make out little recognizable pieces of my trip.
This is a map of my journey from home to class every morning. It's pretty dern accurate too.
