1. Visual design, symbols in nature and a mathematical equation to prove simple statements - inspired by a pre-calculus class, where I was assigned to prove numerical statements as true to its variables given. What if, I asked myself, "express this in a visual way" to think through a scenario?"
2. MIX 2009 was a blast! This year's ADT youth produced videos started to delve into serious social issues from abuse, foster care, to down right fights in the schoolyard! Why is youth produced work so important? Remember the first time you felt the night could go on? Because it's only the beginning for our young folk + a lifetime to come out into their unique expression.
Stay tuned for donations to keep our youth media training in operation toward next year.
About Me
- barbara malaran
- MULTIMEDIA MIXER: Barbara Malaran My artwork takes on an experimental view of travel, migration and assimilation, most specifically with locating ties to imagining homelands, occupational and gender identities, to manipulating time working against memory decay. Such touchstones are influential, emerging with stories about my family’s Philippine heritage, adopting national pride post WW2, observing immigrant populations into the US while forever reinterpreting family stories, desires and locations which no longer exist; rather through storytelling and fading photographs, as all share a remarkable sense of place among generations of newcomers. Often these themes have been personally explored through a variety of mediums, from family home movie archives I shot starting when I was 10, to learning audio and video design, as a study in memory. Coming out of these mediums, my works evolved into creating interactive video installations on the stories of a body in transit, moving away from home and self.
