Steve Rood's Presentation

Through out Steve's journey in the art world , I found out how a photo he had taken at the age of 10 was a compost heat. This compost heat changed his life from there , He was only 10 when he realized his joy for art was to tell stories through pictures . Steve would take photo's of looking at interactive moments . I was really interested because of the fact that he doesn't paint ,sketch or draw but to choose digital photography over anything else as his dominant skill is something that crossed my mind as soon as he told us as a class , i think digital has affected art through a whole new perspective and i think being different is sometimes the best way to success. My first thought on Steve Rood's website was that it got me interested straight away as i first played one of his mini games where you get to play with this body and torture it by using your mouse and pulling it away from the body , the sureal movement that it shows really interested me why Steve would have such a game on his website . I think maybe frustration brought him towards the idea or maybe he wanted to advertise something significant in such form that people might want to figure out for themselves in which he would have wanted . To me how the body is held occurs to me that it has to do with da vinci or war ? maybe that is how he finds advertisement by using this as a way to find something that someone thinks . The second thing I found interesting was his influences and how he progressed through his life time of research . what I know is that Steve Rood majors in both photography and design. His influences around the world made him who he is today,Which we saw evidence of names that scrolled through very fast with probably 1000's of artist He quoted in his lecture that "Everyone is an influence".
