In my opinion this particular piece that advertises this exhibit is a combination of pop and digital art. The use of bold bright colors, the classic representation of an all american hamburger and the digital effects of the spinning hamburger and constant color change creates a very enticing piece, holding the attention of many viewers as well as drawing customers in, if used as a restaurant sign. In my opinion it's a great way to show how artists combined movements and styles creating contemporary art.
This is a really interesting piece of art. It truly incorporates modern art/technology with older styles of art, like pop art and even consumerism. The more modern art is the highly digital aspect of this image.This piece is a very good representation of contemporary art, as it combines old and new styles of art.
ReplyDeleteHey- I know it's late in the course, but I've been meaning to comment on this post for sometime. In regards to what sort of styles the gif exhibits, I think the deconstructive element is interesting as well, in that it's quite flamboyant and garish and meant to be an example of a pop advertisement as opposed to being an actual one. For illustrative purposes, the gif pulls it off quite well.
