O'Neill's films enjoy a devoted following in the avant-garde film community, and the exhibit draws upon this renewed interest in independent films amongst younger people in the area, particularly art students and college students. The exhibit also clearly has an appeal for older individuals who remember the 1960's and might have a greater interest in O'Neill's paintings from a historical, reminiscent point-of-view.
However, because of the basic nature of the wall texts, the exhibition is clearly also intended as introduction to O'Neill, as well as purely as a retrospective of the artist's talents. Also, because the writings connected to the work of this artist stress his relationship to the dominant aesthetic movements of the Post-War era, in California, such as the Beats and the independent film movement, a layperson or a beginning student of art history could also enjoy the exhibit/
The content of the exhibition, particularly the films and interactive works, however, are designed to upset notions of art in such laypeople, as well as provide a seamless and...
The exhibition is clearly an experience, or intends to be, as well as is a museum piece. The website's highlighting of O'Neil's most recent film, the Decay of Fiction (2002), where "O'Neill utilizes a computer to accurately record the position and movement of a film camera through the course of a take, resulting in evocative overlapping of ghostly images in a tandem dance with scenes from the present and whose techniques anticipated technological innovations before their time," underlines the predominance of process in this artist's work. The website, like the design of the exhibit, and the interactive nature of the exhibit, and the freedom the gazer has to experience the artist's works as he or she chooses to, when he chooses to, stresses the personal nature of the artistic process and its lack of linear discourse in its most fundamental forms.

High School Field Trips Students want field trips for all the wrong reasons. You know that, and I know that. But you also know the right reasons for field trips. I am using this letter to remind you of them with the hope that you will keep funds for school trips in the school budget. Simply put, field trips are an important part of education because they connect real life
Philosophy Field Trip Realism: A flower is a flower. Idealism: A flower is an ultimate idea. Pragmatism: A flower is what I take it to be. Existentialism: A flower exists for me Rationalism: A flower is this way for now. Realism is a development of the Platonic theory of Forms which stated that universals such as "red" or "man" have an independent, objective existence, either in a realm of their own or in the mind of
Ecology Field Trip The purpose of this field experiment was to determine the composition of the oak forest on and around Hubbard Hill, determining tree type frequency and size through a random sampling process. This is important for ecological purposes in determining the overall needs and structure of the oak forest ecosystem, at least insofar as different tree species are concerned, and for tracking levels of forest growth, loss, or change
The "Figure This: Math Challenges for Families" website, was a simple, bilingual website, that provided challenges and resources for families to work with together. The website employed cartoon characters, annotated solutions and real world applications to make mathematics attractive for the entire family. A challenge index and math index, juxtaposed the challenge with the relevant math concept. The final website visited was the "Circle 21" website. This website made use of
The area is of interest because it allows linguists to look into the variants of Middle English that influenced the current dialect. 3. The North Carolina Language and Life Project's study of Harkers Island, North Carolina is extraordinarily interesting, as it allows researchers to study a dialect that was formed independently of surrounding areas for nearly two centuries. Because the island was separated from the mainland until a bridge was
St. Patrick's Cathedral: Field Trip Patrick's Cathedral's design is not only original but also distinct. Its proportions are also evidently harmonious. With impressive twin spikes characterizing its west facade and enormous bronze doors ushering in visitors and worshipers alike, St. Patrick's Cathedral is every inch an architectural masterpiece. At the time of my visit last Friday at around 12:30 PM, there was an ongoing restoration and renovation exercise which as I was
