1. "Instead, it exposes what human beings have done with, for, and against images in order to communicate ideas that are important to them and to their society."
Images really help communicate the message of what's being said or can be used to look pretty depending on what you decide to do with them. I especially like using images for political purposes since it allows change to happen. If you create something and show it to the world someone can have inspiration and take it to the next level to improve on those ideas or work with them.
"People are sexually aroused by pictures and sculptures; they break pictures and sculptures; they mutilate them, kiss them, cry before them, and go on journeys to them; they are calmed by them, stirred by them, and incited to revolt. They give thanks by means of them, expect to be elevated by them, and are moved to the highest levels of empathy and fear."
When the beginning quote says "People are sexually aroused by pictures and sculptures." I was confused but at the same time a dreadful truth that plagues me to this day. I mean we have idols we worship and sometimes fantasize about them. In modern times phonography is everywhere and free we all know it exists but we keep quiet about it as a universal agreement to keep our fantasies to ourselves. I mean what's worst is that in modern dating culture, birth decline is happening everywhere and we all just don't want to date anymore but at the same time have pessimistic worldviews that are greatly disturbing of the narrative of women or men are evil because of breakups. More importantly though men don't seem to cope with a breakup well as they instead become angry and turn to the manosphere blaming all of feminism for it.
When it comes to that quote itself I'm conflicted as there is embarrassment of what humanity has done and at the same time a normal thing since we all have horny fantasies and is used to understand our sexuality. It sucks that sex education isn't taught everywhere and that pornography dominates a lot of the time dictating what sex is and even romance stories being binary. I saw a show called sex education and it really helped a lot in exploring sexuality very well and how we express romantic feelings or our sexuality to others. In my show called Generation of Omega I am making; I wanted to explore this aspect for some characters that are in a romantic relationship and explore the dynamics based on their personalities and how they express love. I feel like it's a way of helping people debunk myths surrounding sex and romance entirely.
Now onto the positives it actually helps people explore themselves, understand the world, beliefs, messages, and what they believe in. I mean I watched shows that explore this pretty well like Sex Education. I felt like the show is a counter to phonography narratives and a way to ground sex and romance in reality instead of eroctism or romanticism. I felt like for future romantic plots or any type of entertainment this should be explored and also explore sexuality in different expressions of how we express love.
2. I am always inspired by cartoon and anime designs. I like diversity of combining different art styles from cartoons and anime. Even though I know same face syndrome gets in the way I do like the others of how clothing, and hairstyles are unique to make them stand out. I also like colorful designs or any quirkiness that makes something unique. Danganronpa, MLP Equestria Girls (Don't mention this in front of the class I am still embarrassed about it.), Inti Creates Games like Azure Striker Gunvolt, and most importantly The Binding of Isaac Repentance. The artists for each of them go as follows, Rui Komatsuzaki for the Danganronpa franchise, Katrina Hadley and Kora Kosicka as one of the many artists for MLP Equestria Girls, Yoshitaka Hatakeyama for Azure Striker Gunvolt, and Edmund McMillen for The Binding of Isaac Repentance. I have a motto that I always like for art to express. The quirkiest is the most fascinating of all.
3. My name is Ricky Ochoa an NJCU Student on my third year of college. I major in graphic design and more importantly I have a huge interest in writing. I am an Ecuadorian born in America and why I say that is because both of my parents immigrated here making me a second-generation immigrant. Both of my parents come from Ecuador so I have full Ecuadorian blood. Now my favorite is writing because I like to make stories to help people. I especially follow the Solarpunk genre and have a belief in ecosocialism.
It takes inspiration of Marxist values and improves them for the modern day and age focusing the value of the people and the environment rather than profit for capitalism. I especially want to explore superpowers much better looking through the lens beyond combat and seeing how it effects society as a whole and what realities change because of the existence of superpowers. That is what Generation Omega which is my show seeks to explore. I plan to make this a long running series since this is an analysis and experiment of what a world with half the population with superpowers do. I call them MHT powers and it's based on the color wheel, the origins are unknown since the goal is focusing on the effects and how they came to be would be ambiguous.
Some might say it came from spirituality or religious purposes, others from science and biology, and some believe an alien rock was responsible for the creation of MHT powers. However, the key here is that none are right and wrong but piecing an understanding of what they are. MHT powers are mysterious in it's origins and is bound to the interpretation of it's origins which closely links to our reality of how our world came to be. I would be using Solarpunk and ecosocialism ideas here since I believe this would be the case.
