This film is about Tre who starts the story of as a young black boy living with his mother. The family and teachers know he is smart but sees he has a problem with his temper. His mother decides to send him with his father so he can help Tre become the man he needs to be. So as Tre grows with his father he learns many valuable lessons and the other characters see Tre as a kind of role model. Because of their environment, there are many life threatening dangers which eventually catches up with Tre’s Best friend Ricky. Tre and Ricky’s brother Doughboy then decide to Seek Revenge on Ricky’s murderer but Tre is first stopped by his father and reminded of what he has been taught. How there set up in a trap where black men are in this cycle of kill him, be killed by his brother, then your cousin kills him. Tre understands but doughboy doesn’t UNTIL after he gets revenge and immediately comes and tells Tre he understands. In the end, the cycle continues and doughboy is eventually killed also like his brother. This Story was actuality in a lot of poor minority areas so the author was reaching out to our society in a whole showing people what goes on in poor “violent” areas.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nThis work was Very Typical of its era because so much of it was going on; there were many causes of the same thing from the movie every day. “Delinquency and involvement in crime rank high among the many detrimental effects which father absence has on children. Reported violent crime has increased 550 percent between 1960 and 1996. The population, on the other hand, has increased only 41 percent. Between 1983 and 1992, juvenile arrest rates for murder increased 128 percent (p. 61). According to Popenoe, such increased crime rates, especially those perpetrated by juveniles, represent a serious consequence which father absence has for society. For example, in A General Theory of Crime, written in 1990, two criminologists, Michael R. Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi, conclude that children living in single-parent families are more likely to involve themselves in crime than children in families where both parents are present (Popenoe, p. 62). Popenoe also presents statistical information, concerning criminal percentages, which reveals that most violent criminals are from single-parent families without fathers.”(Matthew Edison)\r\n\r\nThis work was very unusual for its time for the fact of it being one of the first African American based movies directed by an African American director. \"It\'s a story that a lot of those cats used to make in the \'80s, in the suburbs, but made in the \'hood,\" Singleton says of the films that inspired Boyz N The Hood. \"I loved the pictures, but none of those people looked like me. So me and my friends would catch the bus up to Hollywood, and we\'d go see the movies, and we spent the whole time going down Vermont talking about the movie we would make. And the movie that we would make would always be something like what I did with Boyz N the Hood.”\r\n\r\nHow this film was received in its time it “was almost instantly recognized as an extraordinary work. Boyz N the Hood was selected for the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, and when it opened in the U.S. on July 12, it was met with both critical and financial success. It took in nearly $60 million at the box office and earned Singleton two Academy Award nominations, for best original screenplay and best director. He was the youngest director, and the first black director, ever nominated in the latter category. (John Ridley)\r\n\r\nThe work is still relevant today In “July of 2011; Boyz n the Hood celebrated its 20th Anniversary. While the film has become part and parcel of popular culture, its significance and import to discussions of race and gender dynamics are incalculable. Garnering several Academy Award nominations the year it was released and becoming the 2002 selection for preservation in the National Film Registry.”(Ariel Schudson)\r\n\r\nMy personal reaction I immediately felt some relativity because we have been through some similar experiences in life. His situations are bad with even worse conclusions so I could not all the way bond With Tre but I find many messages meaningful and something the world future generations and even I should take and preserve for ourselves. Messages Such as How poor men are locked in a cycle of kill someone and then get retaliated on by a relative or close friend one can easily so how the cycle can last centuries, an easy extermination of minorities.\r\n\r\nWhen I watched this film it reminded me a great deal of the movie juice. Juice had a sequence of killings shown because of the neighborhoods and how their environment kind of pushes them into this. There is little amount of money circulating around, along with the high demand for money, food, and lots of other necessities that poor families need. Both movies have a group of young black boys who dress alike, talk alike, and think alike put in similar situations and get similar results where there are lots of casualties for both sides.\r\n\r\nThe reason I want to preserve this for future generations is because the message it shows. It teaches viewers the importance of raising your young children in a way it should go and how it can prove to be successful. Because his father is there he is able to teach him certain values and lessons that he later used in life. You can also see how the killing of each other, as well as the poverty, and liquor stores are things we need to look into as well, watching this movie can help us come up a grand master solution.\r\n\r\nSources:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.unc.edu/~edison/socscifinal.htm\">http://www.unc.edu/~edison/socscifinal.htm</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/07/08/137675331/boyz-n-the-hood-rings-out-20-years-later\">http://www.npr.org/2011/07/08/137675331/boyz-n-the-hood-rings-out-20-years-later</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.craveonline.com/film/articles/202155-the-myth-of-macho-boyz-n-the-hood\">http://www.craveonline.com/film/articles/202155-the-myth-of-macho-boyz-n-the-hood</a>','Singleton\'s Boys In the hood','','publish','open','open','','singletons-boys-in-the-hood','','','2013-12-09 11:15:20','2013-12-09 17:15:20','',0,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3734',0,'post','',4),(3735,91,'2013-12-02 14:03:48','2013-12-02 20:03:48','','Singleton\'s Boys In the hood','','inherit','open','open','','3734-revision-v1','','','2013-12-02 14:03:48','2013-12-02 20:03:48','',3734,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3735',0,'revision','',0),(3736,89,'2013-12-06 00:48:04','2013-12-06 06:48:04','<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/dr-strangelove12546873441.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3737\" alt=\"dr-strangelove12546873441\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/dr-strangelove12546873441-300x273.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"273\" /></a></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://zettaforce.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/dr-strangelove12546873441.jpg\">http://zettaforce.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/dr-strangelove12546873441.jpg</a></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\">\"Everything there is to know about nuclear strategy can be learned from Dr. Strangelove.</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\">-John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists</p>\r\nAt the Burpelson U.S. Air Force Base somewhere in the USA, Brigadier General Jack D.

Cinema at that time is disguised propaganda with plain enemy stereotyping that reflected the lifestyles and ideologies, but never directly mentioned the conflicts and topics of the Cold War. Cinema during 50’s such as the <i>Soviet Meeting on the Elbe </i>(1949) and the U.S. <i>Man on a Tightrope </i>(1953), all use ideological strategies in attempt to discredit each other and as a result create the villain stereotypes that will be used by future filmmakers from both sides. Filmmakers focused on promoting each ideologies life style to the world, <i>Roman Holiday </i>(1953) and <i>Spring on Zarechnaya Street </i>(1956) are two examples of cinema that solely focuses on private issues. In 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis involved President John Kennedy and First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev debating over the placement of a hidden nuclear missile site located in Cuba. As the event unfolded, the world was witnessing the first nuclear standoff between two of the world’s superpowers.\r\n\r\nDr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, is a black comedy that focuses on the cold war culture and the nuclear scare. In the 60’s many filmmakers focused on the dangers of misusing nuclear technology, films and shows such as the Soviet drama <i>Nine Days in One Year </i>(1962), the US thriller <i>Fail-Safe (1964),</i>  and <i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)(</i> <i>Youngblood and Shaw). </i> What separates Dr. Strangelove’s from other works, is how it focuses on the nuclear deterrence, the similarities between the film and actual events and policies. By focusing on these key themes to the point of absurdity, the film finds a unique balance between realism and insanity (Lidley).\r\n\r\nThe film received received popular reviews from both critics and the general audience, nominated for four Oscars, eight other nominations, and winning 13 awards (IMnD). Since nuclear warfare became a popular topic during the 60’s, the US Air Force worried that some of viewers belived everything in the movie was a possibily. As a result the Strategic Air Command created a 17 minute propaganda film called SAC Command Post, the Film was never shown to the public, until it was discovered by Willam Burr at the national archive (McGreal). The films purpose was to convince Americans that nuclear warfare would only occur if it was the only appropiate action take, Burr states: \"The air force wanted to show they have control of these weapons, they were responsible, they would use them under presidential direction and they were ready for war,\" (McGreal).\r\n\r\nDr. Stangelove is considered one of the greatest movies of all time, receiving a 96/100 from Metacritic, 100/100 from Rottentomatoes, and a 8.5 from Imdn by critics of different times in history. When the National Film Preservation Board was created in 1989, Dr. Stanelove was one of the first movies to be selected for preservation by the board. As more and more countries gain access to nuclear weapons, Dr. Strangelove’s themes continue to remain relevant. The result from the 60’s nuclear scare has caused many of the developed countries to limit and control the nuclear stockpiles to prevent such an event from ever happening. On November 25, 2013, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in favor of lighter economic sanctions(CNN).\r\n\r\nThe only appropiate movie to compare Dr. Strangelove, is its polar opposite, the ultra-realistic thriller, <i>Fail-Safe</i> (1964). Both movies tackle the exact same themes, but take diffeent approaches at expressing its serious themes. Colombia Pictures produced both movies in the same year, realized that both movies were too similar, and as result allowed Dr. Stangeove to be released first. Fail-safe uses a straightforward and serious tone to deliver its message; there are no soundtracks or music pieces to create suspense, only dialect. Dr. Strangelove’s features important songs, one of the most frequently played is <i>When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again </i>(IMnD), a popular song during that civil war that appealed to families as it offered hope that their loved ones would return(Civilwar.org). The song is played at the most ironic moments, the scenes that featured the U-2 Bomber making its way to drop the bomb, which would lead to the destruction of the world. Although Fail-Safe’s government official and generals are seen as cruel and unreasonable, the movie portrays them as intelligent men that are only trying to use their techniques and skills to adapt to their given situation (Crowther qtd in Henriksen). In Dr. Strangelove, the characters are either portrayed as incompetent, insane, or hypocritical. Whether it features an incompetent President Muffley that doesn’t know any of his countries policies, a mad General Ripper that justifies his actions on a conspiracy that revolves around Russians stealing his precious bodily fluids, or the mirror imaging between the constant quarrels between a “degenerate atheist” and an “imperialist stooge” (IMnD).\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</i> is a unique piece that is still relevant today. Even though we survived the cold war, many of the dangers present today. There are around 1,700 nuclear warheads scattered throughout the world, each capable of disturbing the delicate global balance. Dr. Stangelove must be preserved to remind future generation of the dangers and responsibilities we must take to ensure our stability, how easy it is to find ourselves in a lose –lose scenario, how we will respond to such actions, and how easily it can all go wrong.\r\n<p align=\"center\">Works Cited</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\">Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997. <i>eBook Collection (EBSCOhost)</i>.

Ripper orders the 34 nuclear-armed B-52\'s of the 843rd Bomb Wing past their failsafe points where they normally hold awaiting possible orders to proceed and into Soviet airspace. He also tells the personnel on the base that the US and the USSR have entered into war. In the \"War Room\" at The Pentagon, Air Force General Buck Turgidson briefs President Merkin Muffley about the attack that General Ripper ordered. Although a nuclear attack should require Presidential authority to be initiated, Ripper used \"Plan R\", an emergency war plan enabling a senior officer to launch a retaliation strike against the Soviets. From there there, the US must decide the fate of the Russians, the US, and the World (IMnD.\r\n\r\nAs the postwar age began the world saw the confrontation of Western liberal capitalism and Eastern authoritarian socialism. Youngblood and Shaw argued that cinema was affected by the Cold War, allowing domestic and foreign audiences to participate in the war; \"cinema shaped and reflected everyday Cold War mentalities and values\". Cinema at that time is disguised propaganda with plain enemy stereotyping that reflected the lifestyles and ideologies, but never directly mentioned the conflicts and topics of the Cold War. Cinema during 50’s such as the <i>Soviet Meeting on the Elbe </i>(1949) and the U.S. <i>Man on a Tightrope </i>(1953), all use ideological strategies in attempt to discredit each other and as a result create the villain stereotypes that will be used by future filmmakers from both sides. Filmmakers focused on promoting each ideologies life style to the world, <i>Roman Holiday </i>(1953) and <i>Spring on Zarechnaya Street </i>(1956) are two examples of cinema that solely focuses on private issues. In 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis involved President John Kennedy and First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev debating over the placement of a hidden nuclear missile site located in Cuba. As the event unfolded, the world was witnessing the first nuclear standoff between two of the world’s superpowers.\r\n\r\nDr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, is a black comedy that focuses on the cold war culture and the nuclear scare. In the 60’s many filmmakers focused on the dangers of misusing nuclear technology, films and shows such as the Soviet drama <i>Nine Days in One Year </i>(1962), the US thriller <i>Fail-Safe (1964),</i>  and <i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)(</i> <i>Youngblood and Shaw). </i> What separates Dr. Strangelove’s from other works, is how it focuses on the nuclear deterrence, the similarities between the film and actual events and policies. By focusing on these key themes to the point of absurdity, the film finds a unique balance between realism and insanity (Lidley).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe film received received popular reviews from both critics and the general audience, nominated for four Oscars, eight other nominations, and winning 13 awards (IMnD). Since nuclear warfare became a popular topic during the 60’s, the US Air Force worried that some of viewers belived everything in the movie was a possibily. As a result the Strategic Air Command created a 17 minute propaganda film called SAC Command Post, the Film was never shown to the public, until it was discovered by Willam Burr at the national archive (McGreal). The films purpose was to convince Americans that nuclear warfare would only occur if it was the only appropiate action take, Burr states: \"The air force wanted to show they have control of these weapons, they were responsible, they would use them under presidential direction and they were ready for war,\" (McGreal).\r\n\r\nDr. Stangelove is considered one of the greatest movies of all time, receiving a 96/100 from Metacritic, 100/100 from Rottentomatoes, and a 8.5 from Imdn by critics of different times in history. When the National Film Preservation Board was created in 1989, Dr. Stanelove was one of the first movies to be selected for preservation by the board. As more and more countries gain access to nuclear weapons, Dr. Strangelove’s themes continue to remain relevant. The result from the 60’s nuclear scare has caused many of the developed countries to limit and control the nuclear stockpiles to prevent such an event from ever happening. On November 25, 2013, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in favor of lighter economic sanctions(CNN).\r\n\r\nThe only appropiate movie to compare Dr. Strangelove, is its polar opposite, the ultra-realistic thriller, <i>Fail-Safe</i> (1964). Both movies tackle the exact same themes, but take diffeent approaches at expressing its serious themes. Colombia Pictures produced both movies in the same year, realized that both movies were too similar, and as result allowed Dr. Stangeove to be released first. Fail-safe uses a straightforward and serious tone to deliver its message; there are no soundtracks or music pieces to create suspense, only dialect. Dr. Strangelove’s features important songs, one of the most frequently played is <i>When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again </i>(IMnD), a popular song during that civil war that appealed to families as it offered hope that their loved ones would return(Civilwar.org). The song is played at the most ironic moments, the scenes that featured the U-2 Bomber making its way to drop the bomb, which would lead to the destruction of the world. Although Fail-Safe’s government official and generals are seen as cruel and unreasonable, the movie portrays them as intelligent men that are only trying to use their techniques and skills to adapt to their given situation (Crowther qtd in Henriksen). In Dr. Strangelove, the characters are either portrayed as incompetent, insane, or hypocritical. Whether it features an incompetent President Muffley that doesn’t know any of his countries policies, a mad General Ripper that justifies his actions on a conspiracy that revolves around Russians stealing his precious bodily fluids, or the mirror imaging between the constant quarrels between a “degenerate atheist” and an “imperialist stooge” (IMnD).\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</i> is a unique piece that is still relevant today. Even though we survived the cold war, many of the dangers present today. There are around 1,700 nuclear warheads scattered throughout the world, each capable of disturbing the delicate global balance. Dr. Stangelove must be preserved to remind future generation of the dangers and responsibilities we must take to ensure our stability, how easy it is to find ourselves in a lose –lose scenario, how we will respond to such actions, and how easily it can all go wrong.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\">Works Cited</p>\r\n<p align=\"center\">Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997. <i>eBook Collection (EBSCOhost)</i>.

This opera is mainly about a love triangle between Aida the Ethiopian princess who has been captured, Amneris Princess of Egypt and Radames Captain of the guard in Egypt.  The opera starts off with Egypt being challenged for power in war by Ethiopia. The king of Egypt choses Radames as the head captain to come up against the Ethiopians, who are crushed by Radames. Radames has also captured the king and his people, which include Aida. Radames victory request is to have their lives sparred which is allowed by the grateful king. Until king who didn’t know that the prisoners were of royalty is then sentenced to death, but are released by Radames, so the king sentences him to be buried alive. Aida and Amneris do everything in their power to try to save Radames but nothing works. In the end Aida runs to Radames side and is buried alive with Radames who die together in love.  This opera comes in the time of Egypt’s rule also Verdi’s rule in being a very famous opera composer.\r\n\r\nThis work is very typical of its era the three main things that describe Verdi’s Aida where big in the time of the opera’s release. That being Egypt, Opera and the composer Giuseppe Verdi I found this in a quote I read in an article written by Bruce Scott, “The history of Aida goes back to Ismail Pasha, who became the khedive of Egypt in 1863. Among his many dreams for the country was a new Cairo Opera House. It opened in 1869, with a performance of Verdi\'s Rigoletto. But Pasha thought his theater also deserved a brand new work by Verdi, who was arguably the most famous opera composer in the world.” So with Egypt being the main power and Verdi with his good status shows that this opera was destined to be written.\r\n\r\nVerdi’s Aida was created in the midst of war and was a rare occasion where it was used in the war to help create debt. The khedive had spent enormous amounts of money on a canal he had bought and on Giuseppe play Aida. Aida Was only sold to him to increase his debt to the Europeans. Even though aida played a huge impact in European and Egypt’s war the controversy started before Aida and is still continued today. “France’s revolution was fomented by Rousseau, Voltaire, Danton, Marat and others. Egypt’s revolution was fomented by Facebook. The drama continues to unfold as we read each day.”I forgive Verdi and his opera. They may have added to the Khedive Ismail\'s enormous bill owed to the Europeans which led to Europe’s domination of Egypt. But I have to admit that we are all the richer for that glorious music”(Hosni Murbarack).\r\n\r\nThis play was much loved in its time was scattered across the world quickly.” The premiere was postponed slightly, thanks in part to the Franco-Prussian War, and took place late in 1871, not quite a year behind schedule. Before long Aida was a hit all over the world. It premiered at La Scala in 1872. The next year, it reached Buenos Aires and New York City.”\r\n\r\nThe play as loved as much today as it was in its time it is shown all around the world. “The local premiere sold out all 3,000 seats. It was the social event of that fall.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThough much has changed in the ensuing 54 years, Freedman’s words still ring true: “An opera company has a responsibility other than just staying in business. Its purpose is to broaden people’s scopes, to let them know something else exists” (Sally Vallongo).\r\n\r\nMy personal reaction to watching Verdi’s Aida was amazement the storyline and the personality given to Aida and Ramades are astounding. Following Ramades to the end where he has to make a tough decision between love and duty is a well thought out plot that leaves viewers guessing. Watching this opera can really get a mutual feeling that the actors on stage are trying to portray for the character.\r\n\r\nI like to compare this opera to West side story a musical created in 1957.  Like Aida it also has that love and war dynamic Maria who is a young Latino girl falls in love with a white boy named tony whose gangs are fierce rivals. This leads to death just like Aida, the two stories have a lot in common it shows how two completely different cultured people can come together and find love through the midst of hate, anger, and war.\r\n\r\nThe seriousness of how love war and duty is important for our future generations. This will show that one must follow their heart soul and mind versus just what there taught. This is how you can become truly happy and find true love.\r\n\r\nSources:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.toledoblade.com/Music-Theater-Dance/2013/09/29/Verdi-s-glorious-tale-of-Aida-opens-2013-2014-Toledo-Opera-season.html\r\n\r\nhttp://www.wqxr.org/#!/story/verdis-emaidaem-and-its-role-egyptian-revolution/\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttp://classicalmusic.about.com/od/Opera-Synopses/qt/Aida-Synopsis.htm\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttp://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-verdi-birth-bicentennial-italian-opera-festival-20131025,0,4466481.story#axzz2jgx6KUOY\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttp://escholarship.org/uc/item/9tj7h4wv#page-1\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttp://www.npr.org/2011/06/03/136888669/love-triangles-and-pyramids-verdis-aida\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttp://schillerinstitute.org/educ/reviews/2013/aida-michigan_opera_theater.html','Verdi\'s Aida','','inherit','open','open','','3731-revision-v1','','','2013-12-09 01:40:08','2013-12-09 07:40:08','',3731,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3740',0,'revision','',0),(3746,1,'2013-12-09 11:16:25','2013-12-09 17:16:25','<p align=\"center\"><b><i>Verdi’s Aida</i></b></p>\r\nAida the opera was written by Giuseppe Verdi in the Late 1871.

This film is about Tre who starts the story of as a young black boy living with his mother. The family and teachers know he is smart but sees he has a problem with his temper. His mother decides to send him with his father so he can help Tre become the man he needs to be. So as Tre grows with his father he learns many valuable lessons and the other characters see Tre as a kind of role model. Because of their environment, there are many life threatening dangers which eventually catches up with Tre’s Best friend Ricky. Tre and Ricky’s brother Doughboy then decide to Seek Revenge on Ricky’s murderer but Tre is first stopped by his father and reminded of what he has been taught. How there set up in a trap where black men are in this cycle of kill him, be killed by his brother, then your cousin kills him. Tre understands but doughboy doesn’t UNTIL after he gets revenge and immediately comes and tells Tre he understands. In the end, the cycle continues and doughboy is eventually killed also like his brother. This Story was actuality in a lot of poor minority areas so the author was reaching out to our society in a whole showing people what goes on in poor “violent” areas.\r\n\r\nThis work was Very Typical of its era because so much of it was going on; there were many causes of the same thing from the movie every day. “Delinquency and involvement in crime rank high among the many detrimental effects which father absence has on children. Reported violent crime has increased 550 percent between 1960 and 1996. The population, on the other hand, has increased only 41 percent. Between 1983 and 1992, juvenile arrest rates for murder increased 128 percent (p. 61). According to Popenoe, such increased crime rates, especially those perpetrated by juveniles, represent a serious consequence which father absence has for society. For example, in A General Theory of Crime, written in 1990, two criminologists, Michael R. Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi, conclude that children living in single-parent families are more likely to involve themselves in crime than children in families where both parents are present (Popenoe, p. 62). Popenoe also presents statistical information, concerning criminal percentages, which reveals that most violent criminals are from single-parent families without fathers.”(Matthew Edison)\r\n\r\nThis work was very unusual for its time for the fact of it being one of the first African American based movies directed by an African American director. \"It\'s a story that a lot of those cats used to make in the \'80s, in the suburbs, but made in the \'hood,\" Singleton says of the films that inspired Boyz N The Hood. \"I loved the pictures, but none of those people looked like me. So me and my friends would catch the bus up to Hollywood, and we\'d go see the movies, and we spent the whole time going down Vermont talking about the movie we would make. And the movie that we would make would always be something like what I did with Boyz N the Hood.”\r\n\r\nHow this film was received in its time it “was almost instantly recognized as an extraordinary work. Boyz N the Hood was selected for the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, and when it opened in the U.S. on July 12, it was met with both critical and financial success. It took in nearly $60 million at the box office and earned Singleton two Academy Award nominations, for best original screenplay and best director. He was the youngest director, and the first black director, ever nominated in the latter category. (John Ridley)\r\n\r\nThe work is still relevant today In “July of 2011; Boyz n the Hood celebrated its 20th Anniversary. While the film has become part and parcel of popular culture, its significance and import to discussions of race and gender dynamics are incalculable. Garnering several Academy Award nominations the year it was released and becoming the 2002 selection for preservation in the National Film Registry.”(Ariel Schudson)\r\n\r\nMy personal reaction I immediately felt some relativity because we have been through some similar experiences in life. His situations are bad with even worse conclusions so I could not all the way bond With Tre but I find many messages meaningful and something the world future generations and even I should take and preserve for ourselves. Messages Such as How poor men are locked in a cycle of kill someone and then get retaliated on by a relative or close friend one can easily so how the cycle can last centuries, an easy extermination of minorities.\r\n\r\nWhen I watched this film it reminded me a great deal of the movie juice. Juice had a sequence of killings shown because of the neighborhoods and how their environment kind of pushes them into this. There is little amount of money circulating around, along with the high demand for money, food, and lots of other necessities that poor families need. Both movies have a group of young black boys who dress alike, talk alike, and think alike put in similar situations and get similar results where there are lots of casualties for both sides.\r\n\r\nThe reason I want to preserve this for future generations is because the message it shows.

This film is about Tre who starts the story of as a young black boy living with his mother. The family and teachers know he is smart but sees he has a problem with his temper. His mother decides to send him with his father so he can help Tre become the man he needs to be. So as Tre grows with his father he learns many valuable lessons and the other characters see Tre as a kind of role model. Because of their environment, there are many life threatening dangers which eventually catches up with Tre’s Best friend Ricky. Tre and Ricky’s brother Doughboy then decide to Seek Revenge on Ricky’s murderer but Tre is first stopped by his father and reminded of what he has been taught. How there set up in a trap where black men are in this cycle of kill him, be killed by his brother, then your cousin kills him. Tre understands but doughboy doesn’t UNTIL after he gets revenge and immediately comes and tells Tre he understands. In the end, the cycle continues and doughboy is eventually killed also like his brother. This Story was actuality in a lot of poor minority areas so the author was reaching out to our society in a whole showing people what goes on in poor “violent” areas.\r\n\r\nThis work was Very Typical of its era because so much of it was going on; there were many causes of the same thing from the movie every day. “Delinquency and involvement in crime rank high among the many detrimental effects which father absence has on children. Reported violent crime has increased 550 percent between 1960 and 1996. The population, on the other hand, has increased only 41 percent. Between 1983 and 1992, juvenile arrest rates for murder increased 128 percent (p. 61). According to Popenoe, such increased crime rates, especially those perpetrated by juveniles, represent a serious consequence which father absence has for society. For example, in A General Theory of Crime, written in 1990, two criminologists, Michael R. Gottfredson and Travis Hirschi, conclude that children living in single-parent families are more likely to involve themselves in crime than children in families where both parents are present (Popenoe, p. 62). Popenoe also presents statistical information, concerning criminal percentages, which reveals that most violent criminals are from single-parent families without fathers.”(Matthew Edison)\r\n\r\nThis work was very unusual for its time for the fact of it being one of the first African American based movies directed by an African American director. \"It\'s a story that a lot of those cats used to make in the \'80s, in the suburbs, but made in the \'hood,\" Singleton says of the films that inspired Boyz N The Hood. \"I loved the pictures, but none of those people looked like me. So me and my friends would catch the bus up to Hollywood, and we\'d go see the movies, and we spent the whole time going down Vermont talking about the movie we would make. And the movie that we would make would always be something like what I did with Boyz N the Hood.”\r\n\r\nHow this film was received in its time it “was almost instantly recognized as an extraordinary work. Boyz N the Hood was selected for the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, and when it opened in the U.S. on July 12, it was met with both critical and financial success. It took in nearly $60 million at the box office and earned Singleton two Academy Award nominations, for best original screenplay and best director. He was the youngest director, and the first black director, ever nominated in the latter category. (John Ridley)\r\n\r\nThe work is still relevant today In “July of 2011; Boyz n the Hood celebrated its 20th Anniversary. While the film has become part and parcel of popular culture, its significance and import to discussions of race and gender dynamics are incalculable. Garnering several Academy Award nominations the year it was released and becoming the 2002 selection for preservation in the National Film Registry.”(Ariel Schudson)\r\n\r\nMy personal reaction I immediately felt some relativity because we have been through some similar experiences in life. His situations are bad with even worse conclusions so I could not all the way bond With Tre but I find many messages meaningful and something the world future generations and even I should take and preserve for ourselves. Messages Such as How poor men are locked in a cycle of kill someone and then get retaliated on by a relative or close friend one can easily so how the cycle can last centuries, an easy extermination of minorities.\r\n\r\nWhen I watched this film it reminded me a great deal of the movie juice. Juice had a sequence of killings shown because of the neighborhoods and how their environment kind of pushes them into this. There is little amount of money circulating around, along with the high demand for money, food, and lots of other necessities that poor families need. Both movies have a group of young black boys who dress alike, talk alike, and think alike put in similar situations and get similar results where there are lots of casualties for both sides.\r\n\r\nThe reason I want to preserve this for future generations is because the message it shows. It teaches viewers the importance of raising your young children in a way it should go and how it can prove to be successful. Because his father is there he is able to teach him certain values and lessons that he later used in life.

As an extension of this concept, it could be said that much of the force that impedes the progress of mankind and reduces the wellbeing of all peoples is their own ignorance – the interest in gaining perspective on our surroundings is a thing that has brought mankind forward, and complacency once we felt that our perspective was sufficient has brought us to the brink. Mankind is far from its roots now, but there will be times when we are tried as a race especially in our current state, and when we cannot afford to lose focus on our wellbeing as a race, there again arises that observation – mankind will not be able to continue like before, by and large only selectively aware of its past, re-coloring the tapestry of time and space for our amusement and short-term gain. Within this document is contained a plan for the education of mankind on the most fundamental tenets of its shared history, and what may be thought to be a partial roadmap to the vast and nuanced genome of ideas which interconnect the human condition: a suite for the preservation and consistent observation of not just the historical art of mankind but its fundamental meaning, that story which it has to tell so that humans may better understand themselves.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nGiven the broad scope of human creative achievement, it has been deemed impossible to contain the breadth of works necessary to truly explore the human condition within the amount of space available. Thus, infrastructure which has already been installed within the living quarters of the inhabitants of the interstellar caravan will be hooked up to a server architecture which will contain information about the creative life of mankind on Earth. In addition to this, interactive experiences which will attract the attention of the inhabitants as well as help them to be fully immersed in the original context and meaning of the pieces will be constructed – four of such reconstructions will be illustrated within this document in order to give perspective on the idea. The interactive media will be available in the form of immersive virtual reality experiences, available from the desk or bed of any residence on any ship.\r\n\r\nThe first of the four selected experiences will cover the Potawatomi Creation Myth, an oral tradition passed down by the Potawatomi peoples of North America during the height of their civilization. The myth is important to maintain preservation and awareness in its regard because it teaches the values of cooperation, reverence for the ideas of others, and the value of the impetus of creation. The myth will be taught in schools as well as the context of the lives of sovereign Native American nations until their downfall and/or integration. In order to help express the idea to students, a game will be created which will be available and occasionally utilized, but never graded. The game will be built from the ideas of the myth – students will work as a unit in order to provide themselves and each other with the ability to create beautiful and functional things from various resources. Additionally, the students will be able to observe the success of others by turning their areas into virtual collaborative hangout spaces, where they will be able to selectively allow others to re-shape the world or simply enjoy what they have made. This will help to ingrain all of the values of the work into children, helping them to gain perspective on their own minds and those of others through collaboration and observation of each other’s works.\r\n\r\nThe second selected work is the Mughal architectural masterpiece: The Taj Mahal. In this case, the work is representative of the power of human love, as well as the beauty which can be created from bounty and respect for expertise from across cultural lines. For this purpose, the Taj will be re-created in three-dimensional form and converted into a virtual meeting place for people of all ages and for a number of different events – its grounds will be used for virtual cultural festivals, but will also largely be available for groups of any size and from any ship, and even for individuals. An emphasis will be placed on using the space as a cultural landmark, and information about the history of the tomb and its context will be placed all over the grounds, occasionally hidden, in order to encourage people to find, consume and discuss the Taj as it was used many years ago. Arts festivals held there will focus on the creation of complex works which contain motifs related to love and tolerance, and culture festivals will encourage visitors to meet and mutually learn about each other from across the entire fleet, while also being proud and upholding the traditions of their people from back on Earth.\r\n\r\nThe Taj will also be available for scholastic study, allowing for college students to study the masterwork combination of Persian and Indian motifs and the mastery of geometric and spatial qualities in the arrangement of the tomb grounds. The structure will be used as an example of mastery in the realm of architecture, which is an art which may be foreign to those born on the ships. Comparisons will be drawn between the Taj and other tombs which were created before it, especially its predecessor, Humanyun’s tomb – discussion about the similarities and differences between different architectures and arrangements will be encouraged.\r\n\r\nThe third selected piece will be Richard Wagner’s <i>Der Ring Des Nibelungen </i>cycle. This piece represents the complexity of human interactions, as well as the dangers of hubris, greed and prejudice. To this end, a yearly festival will be put on showcasing Wagner’s play in the way that he intended it to be played. In the days during and surrounding the festival, a model city from somewhere in the world at the time that the play was written will be generated and those who partake will be given the opportunity to spend their free time as citizens of that city, roaming and touring the town and becoming familiar with its places. News installations, flyers and newspapers will be available within the city which will contain information about the events within the city and its surroundings at the time, allowing for the people to further familiarize themselves with the context of the play and the world that it entered into.\r\n\r\nStudents will also be encouraged to learn the play in both its virtual and physical forms - performances of the play virtually will have human actors, who will be trained in the art of opera in both the virtual and physical worlds. This musical training will ensure that interested parties are aware of the usage of leitmotifs and other unusual concepts which are employed within the operas. Comparison with other contemporary works will allow for music students to understand the finer differences between pieces of the era and the abundance of exploration which was occurring at that time within the field of music.\r\n\r\nThe final of the four selected pieces is Atari’s 1980 arcade game <i>Missile Command</i>, which serves as a representative of the terrible power of fear and the effects of a society which is built around the power to destroy and the fear of being destroyed. For this, copies of the game will be made functional and playable within the virtual reality. Additionally, a double-blind game will be created – teams of players will be put together anonymously and pitted against other teams of players, mutually trying to protect resources from the other teams. Information about enemy movements will be vague and often inaccurate of sensational, and the goal of the game will not be to subjugate the other team, but to end the game with the largest possible amount of resources. At the end of the game, a detailed report will be provided in graphical and text format regarding what was actually being said and done on the other team, showing the players the results of misinformation and paranoia on the virtual war which was created by the game and perpetrated by the players. Each game will be relatively low-maintenance but last over several weeks, conjoined with the player’s social network. The game will help to teach its players the horror of mutually-assured destruction and the necessity of dialogue and honesty between cultures.\r\n\r\nArcade games will also be gathered and made part of a summit on programming and design of games – participants will create simple games limited to the purview of an arcade game in order to help them fully understand the scope of their games and how to best fill the game space with the basic ideas of their message. This will help designers of various kinds to understand the concept of keeping with a major idea with their work and designing their entire piece around that idea in the most efficient and understandable way possible. It will also help to ensure that the state of the art continues to be advanced even in these days, so that it can be said that even after what has been done, when the humans step off of their ships for the first time in centuries, they will be better than when they entered them.','Tyler Hudson\'s Final Project','','publish','open','open','','tyler-hudsons-final-project','','','2013-12-09 03:06:14','2013-12-09 09:06:14','',0,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3743',0,'post','',7),(3744,82,'2013-12-09 03:06:14','2013-12-09 09:06:14','There is no human being alive who is immune to the past.

have run the planet into the ground.  Fortunately, a few select scholars along with a few members of the upper class had the foresight to preserve what they have come to view as some of the most significant symbols of humanity.  Among these are Donatello’s <i>David</i>, Alexander Pope’s <i>Essay on Man</i>, Giacomo Puccini’s <i>Madama Butterfly</i>, and Stanley Kubrick’s <i>A Clockwork

<i>David</i> was created in somewhere between 1430 and 1440.  An exact date has yet to be determined.  Artists of the time like Donatello helped to shape the beginnings of the art world as we know it today.  Donatello drew away from the typical image of David.  Many, such as Michelangelo, depicted David as a more masculine man and not the sinewy young boy Donatello created.  Donatello’s <i>David</i> is a symbol of freedom and liberty, both of which were challenged by the very family that commissioned the work.  This statue is a great representation of Humanist art as shown by the pose, medium, and nudity of the statue.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            For this piece, the lower of level of the three rooms has been designated for its display.  Due to its size and weight, it is near impossible to put the actual statue on the ship.  Therefore, a hologram projection will be used to display <i>David</i>.  Patrons will be able to change the size of the statue as well as rotate it in an effort to allow the best possible viewing.  Details such as the pose, the differing shade of the hair, etc. will all be more easily seen.  On a wall near the “statue” will be a computerized plaque detailing the history of the statue as well as biographical information of Donatello.  By being computerized, patrons will be able to choose from different languages.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            In 1734, Alexander Pope created a written work that was considered to be a masterpiece of its time.  This work was titled <i>An Essay on Man</i>.  Pope went into great detail discussing the psychology of humankind.  It was written in couplets written in iambic pentameter and was thought to be a piece of something much larger that Pope never completed.  It was his literary genius that encouraged his fellow man to think for themselves and to question the world around them.  Pope’s strides in his work encouraged his fellow writers.  It is because of this that <i>Essay</i> has been designated for preservation.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            The room directly over that of <i>David</i> will hold <i>Essay on Man</i> and any associated information.  In the far corner of the room, will be a bust of Alexander Pope.  Nearby will be a hard copy of the written work encased in a glass box on a pedestal – to insure its safety and preservation – under which will be a small plaque detailing the work.  Next to that will be another pedestal holding a computerized display that will allow virtual page turning as well as a spoken version with the option to select from a list of different languages.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            As the world of music began its transition into the modern era, Giacomo Puccini was beginning his rise to fame with the creation of numerous renowned operas.  Among the most famous was <i>Madama Buterfly</i> which was written in 1903.  Based on a story written by John Luther Long and a play by David Belasco, <i>Butterfly</i> details the tragic love story and eventual rejection of a young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, and her prearranged husband, B.F. Pinkerton.  This story is a classic, relatable story for people of all ages.  Puccini’s use of tonal fluctuations to express emotion and tell the story grew within the musical community.  Puccini’s ability to tell his story with his music, to create a gateway for the growth of musical history, and for showing the importance of cultural diversity and understanding are among the important reasons for the preservation of this work.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            In 1971, Stanley Kubrick created one of the most influential movies in cinematic history from a book written by Anthony Burgess in 1962.  That movie was <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>.  This movie came at a time when science fiction was increasingly popular.  A sci-fi punk psychological thriller, <i>Clockwork</i> studies the questionable subject of operant condition/brainwashing and takes the genre to a whole new level.  Is the concept of “eye for an eye” justifiable?  Is revenge ever okay?  In this movie Alex, played by Malcom McDowell, is a hoodlum wreaking havoc on the city.  When he is arrested his is subjected to brainwashing which leaves him weak and powerless when he is released back into the public.  When discovered by the husband of the woman he killed, he is then subjected to the same treatment he put his victims through previously.  With cinematic genius and production creativity aided by John Barry, Stanley Kubrick is able to force the viewing public to address the psychology, the repercussions of these techniques, and to engage critical thinking skills unlike any other movie.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            In an effort to adequately project the greatness of Puccini’s <i>Madama Butterfly </i>and Kubrick’s <i>A Clockwork Orange, </i>an entire half of the ship has been designated for a theater.  This full size screen will alternate showings of <i>Butterfly</i> and <i>Clockwork</i> on a daily basis.  Since it would be difficult to house a full troupe and accompanying orchestra, the music for the opera in its entirety will be broadcast over speakers just as the movie will.  There will theater seating much like that seen in theaters of the 21<sup>st</sup> century to accommodate up to 75 people at a time.  Attached to each seat will be individual headphones with language settings to accommodate those who do not speak English or Italian (the languages of the two productions).  Before each showing will be a brief history of each along with a short biography of its creator.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 200%;font-family: \'Times New Roman\',\'serif\'\"> </span></p>','Final Project -

I have been directed to chose four works from four very distinctly different time periods to preserve for future generations to appreciate and learn from. There was simply no way to take every piece of beautiful, challenging, amazing piece of art. The decision was not a simple one, nor one I took lightly. I have done a lot of research and chosen pieces that speak to the time and culture of each time period, some were front runners in their style, all are pieces I believe in and will do my best to find the most efficient way to preserve them for many future generations. Considering our limited amount of space aboard Serenity I was given only one room in which I am confined to hold these larger than life works. The works I have chosen are as follows: Venus of Urbino, A Modest Proposal, The Barber of Seville, and The Matrix. These are all very different types of art created by humans and all very noteworthy for their time.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nThis is the layout in which I believe would best display these works. The entirety of the room will have sound proof walls, for the opera of course. The front of the room will be a theater large enough to hold 50 audience members. The theater will have dimming lights and a large red curtain that opens on the stage, with lights facing the stage. In front of the red curtain a large screen will expand and be retractable from the ceiling. There will be a very high grade projector that hangs from the ceiling facing the stage. There will be 50 extremely comfortable theater seats with headphones attached to each one. In the back of the room there will be a museum style room and open space for two of the works. The feel and vibe of the room in it’s entirety will be open, homely, and welcoming. The works will be preserved in different manners, each according to how I feel they would be the most beneficial to our future generations.\r\n\r\nThe original Venus of Urbino will be in the back of the room hung on the back wall, behind glass which is exactly the right temperature for the best preservation possible. It will be of the upmost importance for a painting curator to be aboard, or in the least one who is dedicated to the preservation of this piece. Once someone learns how to take care of the original work, my hope and goal would be that this individual would take an apprentice to teach their ways and that generationally there would be a curator to take care of this beautiful piece. Beside Venus of Urbino, A Modest Proposal will be incased behind glass in larger than life fashion, also preserved on paper. Additionally, A Modest Proposal will be saved on 50 tablets in as many languages as we are able to translate it to before we must board the ship. The paper version will be written in English. Since we all know how much technology changes there will be someone responsible aboard the ship who will transfer the pamphlet onto the newest piece of technology how ever frequently is necessary. If at any point one of the tablets no longer works the newer type of tablet will replace it. This will be a full time apprenticeship job as well. This individual will also be responsible for The Matrix and it’s preservation. It will be preserved on the latest form of saving digital data, at current it would be several solid state drives. The Matrix will be played on a very high grade projector with high definition for the best experience in watching it, onto the white screen for the audience to view. The headphones will translate the movie into the language selection of the viewer’s choice. The attendees can sign up for a particular language to be played over the loud speakers for more of a group experience, once there is about 35 people signed up for the same language the movie will be played. The Barber of Seville will also be saved on the tablets in several languages. The play will be performed by the best of the best as soon as possible, we will use the newest technology to record them so the entire performance can be played back in holograph form on Serenity. Sign ups will be taken at the beginning of the year for anyone that is interesting in performing the opera. The opera will be performed by the residents of Serenity every year in December.\r\n\r\nThe people will interact with the works in a number of ways. They will be engaged with the humor of The Barber of Seville because they can watch in their own language. It seems that when watching a comedy it is much more entertaining when there are others to laugh with you. On the same side of the token it is much better to discuss philosophy after watching such a mind bending film with someone else who just watched it while it is fresh on one’s mind. The museum side of the room is open and welcoming, this will encourage discussion among the visitors because people will feel as though they are in their own living room. The more people discuss a piece of art, the better it will stick in their minds so they remember the implications and meaning of all the forms of art.\r\n\r\nEach of the works I have chosen exemplify the artistic or cultural trends of the time. They are special and above the rest. I know that many reading this paper may not agree with my decisions and think perhaps there are other works that you would prefer aboard Serenity. I would like to provide everyone with a little more information to further your understanding in regards to my choices.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nVenus of Urbino is a class above many other works of it\'s Renassiance era because Titian was able to set a standard for the figure of women in paintings that many others after him attempted to imitate. While many nude paintings of the time were popular, several high society members thought that she appeared to be too relaxed and comfortable with her nudity. Even among other paintings done by Titian, this Venus appeared to be okay with all of the onlookers of her body. At the time this type of painting was considered pornographic, many of these same high-society members would have these works painted for them and then keep them hidden in closets and back bedrooms. It is important to remember the differences in the thought process of sexuality. In recent years it has become a norm to see a woman\'s naked body portrayed as an object, and even men have now become objectified. This is not something I believe will ever go away, but it is important to take us back to our roots. A piece so beautiful that can speak to many types of people, such as Venus of Urbino used to be something that was considered vulgar. Let our future generations decide upon what they think is vulgar or art, but let us give them a foundation to stand on when making their decision.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFuture generations ought to care about art and painting, for they will be the ones creating all of the new art that their children and their children\'s children will view and appreciate. We may not be able to take every single painting aboard Serenity, but Venus of Urbino certainly can teach many lessons on anatomy, depth and layer as well as symbolism to inspire and teach those who will be the next artists. With this painting they will be taught how much art can change with the times. They will hopefully be inspired to create things that will stand the test of time, even through literally the end of the Earth. I hope they will be challenged to change others\' perspective on any number of topics by realizing how much perspective has changed from when this piece was originally done.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nA Modest Proposal, formally named \"A Modest Proposal For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being a Burden to Their Parents, or the Country, and for Making them beneficial to the Public\" in short was one man\'s satirical suggested solution to the famine that weighed heavily on the people of Ireland in the 1700s. I see how large your eyes got when you read that, this was not an honest to goodness resolution to the issue. At the time it was written the British were severely oppressing the Irish People. They had limited the Irish ability to export and allowing only a few imports, making them extremely expensive. It was a terrible condition that they were now in. Many thought they had solutions to the problem at large, they wrote pamphlets with their \"grand\" ideas of ways to feed the 1,000s of people dying of hunger, in hopes that if everyone got together to pull off their idea, the nation would be okay. However, these ideas were just fanciful ways of killing off more people to have less mouths to feed, and cannibalism was actually a theme amoung the pamphleteers. These people believed that the Irish were so below humanity that it did not really matter what happened to them anyway. The pamphlets were crafted so articulately that some of those who were starving actually began to believe these were good solutions. When A Modest Proposal was released it was actually taken literally. For those who were able to pick up on the satirical stand point, they wanted more of his to be printed, because it pointed a laughing fingure in the face of those who had these awful ideas. A Modest Proposal is truly a genius piece, at the very start it describes the terrible conditions, given almost as an entertaining historical piece and then takes the suggestions of the pamphleteers of the past 70 years and mulls over the idea. This pamphlet is one that is a great lesson on the history of what was going on in an entertaining way, which is not an easy thing to find. It clearly describes the situation as well as the suggestions that were given.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere is the old adage \"history repeats itself\". In current times we are in such the situation that we have had to make incredibly tough decisions, who lives where, what will we do when the Earth is no longer inhabitable, it seems the \"end of the Earth\" is approaching faster than we could have ever imagined. It would be a complete shame to see our grandchildren coming up against a situation where they no longer value the life of an entire race of people. Over the past 50 years it has become so abundantly clear that every life is important and pertinent part of society, to go backwards at this point would be completely absurd. A Modest proposal could serve as a grave warning to not repeat what could have been done, to not even consider the killing off of other\'s an option as a solution. Not only will this work be preserved, but it will assist in preserving the human race should it come to that point.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBarber of Seville was what was not yet known as an operatic comedy. It was the very first comedy scripted to be comedic! It had been based on an already famous play by Paisiello, a very dramatic love sick story. It is similar to the styles of then current times because it was based all around the hero, during the Romantic era. During this romantic era the hero was celebrated, with someone to love and fight for, he went against the grain and had better challenging ideas for society. Count Almaviva, the main character, is many of these things, he does everything in his power to be with his beloved Rosina. The entire story is written to go along with the lyrics and music was really a front runner in leading the way for the outlandish performances that would soon came to fruition. It was innovative because it opened the gates for the middle class to feel comfortable and to become the predominate class for the audience, they wanted to cheer for the hero and they loved the upbeat constant tempo. It was so well written, that it still provoked emotion a hundred years later and even now, when performed.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe satirical and comedic driving force of current can tip a hat of thanks to The Barber of Seville, as it brought comedy of this style to the middle class, which most of us are at this point. It is always an important thing to remember to not take one\'s self too seriously. When it comes to one\'s work and passions you must truly fight for what you believe, but if you are not able to smile and laugh along where the journey takes you, you are not truly enjoying all life has to offer. Although the story can be tragic on some parts, after all the man is having such a difficult time getting with his lover, Rossini did such a marvelous service turning it into something so overwhelmingly satisfing. This will also teach the children that humor does not need to be crude or offensive, which much of the culture in recent times has lent itself too. The new generation that we will rise up will understand comedy and the healing powers of laughter when they view this performance.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe Matrix has so much to offer to Serenity. It was released in 1999, a mere decade after the internet was launched. To any young folks reading this essay knows that was a long time ago. It was a time when there was a wellspring of information that offered itself with only a few clicks away. Visual stimulation seemed to take over like a wild fire. With all the technology surrounding us today, we are well aware of how much it can be truly damaging as well as life saving. This film shows the negative connotations that were believed to be brought along with the new types of technology. It was also around the time that new discoveries and theories came to fruition. While some of those have been disproven, many have stayed with us. There are not many ways that The Matrix was typical, only in that it took all of the newness that was going on in society, and what seemed so normal and put it into perspective for it\'s viewers. There are many ways that it was innovative the intense type of special effects and usage of certain effects that hadn\'t been used before, as well as the onslaught of philosophical questions it bores onto one\'s mind. This movie has meaning and entertainment, it shocks and awes on the face of it, but it delves deeply into the questions of humanity.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI believe as we live further from our home planet, Earth, and depend further on technology, it is very important for us to remember the repercussions that could be lurking behind our decisions. Although we do need it for our oxygen and the necessities of life, it is also necessary for everyone to take a step back and consider the big picture of where our choices will take us. Now that we have a chance to start over without the pollution and political parties and all that ruled us before, we need to be weary and tread lightly. While this movie is fast paced enough to keep the attention of the smaller children, for the teenagers and even the older people can watch this movie and have deep discussion in regards to what is happening on Serenity as well as humanity as a whole.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhile I know that even still many will not agree with my decisions, as the curator of Serenity I believe these will be the best to take aboard our ship. There are plenty of things on Earth that ought to be remembered, and even though I wish and in my wildest dreams I can take all of them with us, alas we cannot. By word of mouth as well as a few other ships on our fleet, we will pass on the lessons and beauty of what we have in our memory and use these artifacts I have chose to learn from and apply to our real life.','Final Project: Serenity','','publish','open','open','','final-project-serenity','','','2013-12-10 03:19:13','2013-12-10 09:19:13','',0,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3750',0,'post','',9),(3751,86,'2013-12-10 03:19:13','2013-12-10 09:19:13','Final Project: Serenity\r\n\r\nV\'nai Vazquez\r\n\r\n12/2013\r\n\r\nHumanities 1302\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt is the year 2100 and I, Saturn Nebulous, have been selected as the coveted curator for Serenity, the home, the museum, the future of humanity as we know it.

At the time this type of painting was considered pornographic, many of these same high-society members would have these works painted for them and then keep them hidden in closets and back bedrooms. It is important to remember the differences in the thought process of sexuality. In recent years it has become a norm to see a woman\'s naked body portrayed as an object, and even men have now become objectified. This is not something I believe will ever go away, but it is important to take us back to our roots. A piece so beautiful that can speak to many types of people, such as Venus of Urbino used to be something that was considered vulgar. Let our future generations decide upon what they think is vulgar or art, but let us give them a foundation to stand on when making their decision.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFuture generations ought to care about art and painting, for they will be the ones creating all of the new art that their children and their children\'s children will view and appreciate. We may not be able to take every single painting aboard Serenity, but Venus of Urbino certainly can teach many lessons on anatomy, depth and layer as well as symbolism to inspire and teach those who will be the next artists. With this painting they will be taught how much art can change with the times. They will hopefully be inspired to create things that will stand the test of time, even through literally the end of the Earth. I hope they will be challenged to change others\' perspective on any number of topics by realizing how much perspective has changed from when this piece was originally done.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nA Modest Proposal, formally named \"A Modest Proposal For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being a Burden to Their Parents, or the Country, and for Making them beneficial to the Public\" in short was one man\'s satirical suggested solution to the famine that weighed heavily on the people of Ireland in the 1700s. I see how large your eyes got when you read that, this was not an honest to goodness resolution to the issue. At the time it was written the British were severely oppressing the Irish People. They had limited the Irish ability to export and allowing only a few imports, making them extremely expensive. It was a terrible condition that they were now in. Many thought they had solutions to the problem at large, they wrote pamphlets with their \"grand\" ideas of ways to feed the 1,000s of people dying of hunger, in hopes that if everyone got together to pull off their idea, the nation would be okay. However, these ideas were just fanciful ways of killing off more people to have less mouths to feed, and cannibalism was actually a theme amoung the pamphleteers. These people believed that the Irish were so below humanity that it did not really matter what happened to them anyway. The pamphlets were crafted so articulately that some of those who were starving actually began to believe these were good solutions. When A Modest Proposal was released it was actually taken literally. For those who were able to pick up on the satirical stand point, they wanted more of his to be printed, because it pointed a laughing fingure in the face of those who had these awful ideas. A Modest Proposal is truly a genius piece, at the very start it describes the terrible conditions, given almost as an entertaining historical piece and then takes the suggestions of the pamphleteers of the past 70 years and mulls over the idea. This pamphlet is one that is a great lesson on the history of what was going on in an entertaining way, which is not an easy thing to find. It clearly describes the situation as well as the suggestions that were given.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere is the old adage \"history repeats itself\". In current times we are in such the situation that we have had to make incredibly tough decisions, who lives where, what will we do when the Earth is no longer inhabitable, it seems the \"end of the Earth\" is approaching faster than we could have ever imagined. It would be a complete shame to see our grandchildren coming up against a situation where they no longer value the life of an entire race of people. Over the past 50 years it has become so abundantly clear that every life is important and pertinent part of society, to go backwards at this point would be completely absurd. A Modest proposal could serve as a grave warning to not repeat what could have been done, to not even consider the killing off of other\'s an option as a solution. Not only will this work be preserved, but it will assist in preserving the human race should it come to that point.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBarber of Seville was what was not yet known as an operatic comedy. It was the very first comedy scripted to be comedic! It had been based on an already famous play by Paisiello, a very dramatic love sick story. It is similar to the styles of then current times because it was based all around the hero, during the Romantic era. During this romantic era the hero was celebrated, with someone to love and fight for, he went against the grain and had better challenging ideas for society. Count Almaviva, the main character, is many of these things, he does everything in his power to be with his beloved Rosina. The entire story is written to go along with the lyrics and music was really a front runner in leading the way for the outlandish performances that would soon came to fruition. It was innovative because it opened the gates for the middle class to feel comfortable and to become the predominate class for the audience, they wanted to cheer for the hero and they loved the upbeat constant tempo. It was so well written, that it still provoked emotion a hundred years later and even now, when performed.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe satirical and comedic driving force of current can tip a hat of thanks to The Barber of Seville, as it brought comedy of this style to the middle class, which most of us are at this point. It is always an important thing to remember to not take one\'s self too seriously. When it comes to one\'s work and passions you must truly fight for what you believe, but if you are not able to smile and laugh along where the journey takes you, you are not truly enjoying all life has to offer. Although the story can be tragic on some parts, after all the man is having such a difficult time getting with his lover, Rossini did such a marvelous service turning it into something so overwhelmingly satisfing. This will also teach the children that humor does not need to be crude or offensive, which much of the culture in recent times has lent itself too. The new generation that we will rise up will understand comedy and the healing powers of laughter when they view this performance.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe Matrix has so much to offer to Serenity. It was released in 1999, a mere decade after the internet was launched. To any young folks reading this essay knows that was a long time ago. It was a time when there was a wellspring of information that offered itself with only a few clicks away. Visual stimulation seemed to take over like a wild fire. With all the technology surrounding us today, we are well aware of how much it can be truly damaging as well as life saving. This film shows the negative connotations that were believed to be brought along with the new types of technology. It was also around the time that new discoveries and theories came to fruition. While some of those have been disproven, many have stayed with us. There are not many ways that The Matrix was typical, only in that it took all of the newness that was going on in society, and what seemed so normal and put it into perspective for it\'s viewers. There are many ways that it was innovative the intense type of special effects and usage of certain effects that hadn\'t been used before, as well as the onslaught of philosophical questions it bores onto one\'s mind. This movie has meaning and entertainment, it shocks and awes on the face of it, but it delves deeply into the questions of humanity.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI believe as we live further from our home planet, Earth, and depend further on technology, it is very important for us to remember the repercussions that could be lurking behind our decisions. Although we do need it for our oxygen and the necessities of life, it is also necessary for everyone to take a step back and consider the big picture of where our choices will take us. Now that we have a chance to start over without the pollution and political parties and all that ruled us before, we need to be weary and tread lightly. While this movie is fast paced enough to keep the attention of the smaller children, for the teenagers and even the older people can watch this movie and have deep discussion in regards to what is happening on Serenity as well as humanity as a whole.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhile I know that even still many will not agree with my decisions, as the curator of Serenity I believe these will be the best to take aboard our ship. There are plenty of things on Earth that ought to be remembered, and even though I wish and in my wildest dreams I can take all of them with us, alas we cannot. By word of mouth as well as a few other ships on our fleet, we will pass on the lessons and beauty of what we have in our memory and use these artifacts I have chose to learn from and apply to our real life.','Final Project: Serenity','','inherit','open','open','','3750-revision-v1','','','2013-12-10 03:19:13','2013-12-10 09:19:13','',3750,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3751',0,'revision','',0),(3752,58,'2013-12-10 10:06:56','2013-12-10 16:06:56','<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/guten.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3753\" alt=\"guten\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/guten.png\" width=\"277\" height=\"182\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenbergbible/\">http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenbergbible/</a>\r\n\r\n“The Gutenberg Bible” Extra Credit\r\n\r\nThe Gutenberg bible printed by Johann Gutenberg ca. 1454-55 is the first complete book printed with a movable metal type.

In Gutenbergs time, the standard language of the bible in Western Europe was Latin, and the most common version was St. Jerome’s translation, known as the Vulgate.

This place would be consisting of various shuttles serving different purposes in space, such as the grocery shuttle, the school shuttle, the town hall shuttle, etc. People would travel to my museum shuttle in the same way they would travel to any other shuttle, via their space-car. The first museum shuttle of mine opened up in the colony of Jetsonia, and was built in four mushroom-type structures connected by a central eco-dome that housed a grassy hill and a stage.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more--></p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The four buildings surrounding the dome would each take in one group of four at a time to holographic cubicle type rooms that were sectioned off so that each individual in the group had their own separate room, but were all part of a larger room once the cubicle walls were dropped. Each viewer would then begin to view the four pieces I\'ve chosen for preservation in chronological order, starting with the Arnolfini Wedding portrait, Kant\'s <i>Critique of Pure Reason</i>, then Muybridge\'s <i>Horse in Motion</i> and Jimi Hendrix\'s rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The original Arnolfini Wedding portrait would be kept safe in a state shuttle somewhere downtown, but the piece will be experienced through hologram in the museum. After a short introduction of the painter, time, and place the work was conceived, the spectator would see the portrait\'s setting materialize from the walls in a three-dimensional image. The spectator could then view in great detail the entire room, back to front thanks to the striking detail in the mirror behind the Arnolfinis, and play a scavenger hunt for four details in the piece, such as the tree in the window, the oranges on the table, and the journey of Christ in the mirror. One could walk around the room and see behind the couple, experience the air of the setting that van Eyck created, and as they find the details, they have explained to them what they symbolized in the 15<sup>th</sup> century.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The piece exemplifies the innovation in early Renaissance art to different painting mediums and a striking degree of true-to-life detail in the three-dimensional space. Jan van Eyck produced a masterpiece of both secular and religious themes, unlike most of the religiously motivated art of the late Middle Ages. Without formal training in linear perspective, unlike those in Italy, he portrayed his couple in a three-dimensional space convincingly with a special degree of detail unheard of before him. Future generations could glean from this that art can exist for a variety of reasons, come from a variety of places, and be created in a variety of ways. This piece should incite people to broaden their creative capacities beyond what they see around them.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The time will eventually run out for the scavenger hunt, for which there will be no reward for winning or punishment for losing. The room would go pitch black dark for a moment and an announcement will be made introducing Kant\'s <i>Critique of Pure Reason</i> including the author and his background. Some historical context will be provided, such as the nature of European politics and the newly independent United States of America. The original written work of Kant is not complete, as he wrote to his death, but the information in the presentation will come from various editions, translations, and introductions. Dynamic and three-dimensional text will flow through the hologram room in various sections and diagrams to aid the spectator in understanding at least a broad interpretation of his piece and methodology. They would experience this individually and at the final stage of the tour, have a section allotted with complimentary copies of his book for those who want to delve deeper into his ideas.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">This work portrays a stunning representative of Enlightenment thought and a valuable source of the beginnings of continental philosophy. In future society, this method of thinking may be more popular than it is today, but if it isn\'t, then it\'s even more important to have the dissenting philosophy\'s answer to the questions the predominant thought can\'t answer. Kant was a pivotal part of a large movement in thinking than has influenced many people greatly. The presentation will aim at invoking these facts and the influence of his thinking and give applicable examples to personalize the idea to the spectator.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Once Kant\'s presentation concludes, the cubicle walls will slowly drop into the floor, revealing the group members to one another and the size of the large, dome shaped room. The hologram will begin to change the large room into a desert landscape with a bright blue sky and a glaring sun. The group then is instructed to walk in the direction of the people in the distance and, as they walk, the landscape moves around them as the floor acts as a slow treadmill, simulating a real walk to the site of Muybridge\'s camera rig. Once the group arrives, they will over hear Muybridge and Stanford talking about the situation that led them there, giving a synopsis to the group as to the details of the situation. Then, Muybridge would reference the oncoming horse, thus gathering the groups attention to the direction the holograms of Leland and Eadweard are looking. The group would witness the horse running in front of them and setting off 24 tripwires and thus Muybridge\'s 24 cameras, granting him the stream of photographs know as the <i>Horse in Motion </i>or <i>Sallie Gardner at a Gallop.</i> After this show, and much cheering from Muybridge, the hologram shows on the wall the presentation repeating and describing shortly the bet and providing the group diagrams of the mechanisms and Marey\'s photo-rifle.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">This piece is one of the first works of moving photography and portrays how images and image technology has progressed from streaming photographs into interactive holograms in the future and today. People would experience a more readily available and realistic portrayal of events like they never could before. This would create the massive entertainment outlet of film in the 20<sup>th</sup> century and then onward to digital in the 21<sup>st</sup>. Future generations need to understand this approach toward realism and abstraction from realism in what is true from images. With the hologram technology comes the question of how much of life can be made into a simulation, and those in the future should consider the balance of real and simulated experiences.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">After Muybridge\'s work is finished and the presentation is complete, the groups in each of the four structures will be transported to the eco-dome via slow treadmills like those found in an airport, which one can walk on in order to quicken the journey. The eco-dome will contain, as mentioned, a grassy hill and a stage, on which a robotic Jimi Hendrix with holographic outer details plays his Star-Spangled Banner from start to finish. The four groups will witness and experience this together and among a holographic crowd of spectators. In the sky, the spectators will be able to see close-up shots of Hendrix\'s face and guitar as he uses expert feedback to portray war sounds. A short closing statement on the Vietnam War and the cultural climate in America will be given by a simulated Hendrix and the group will have the option of picking up a free copy of Kant\'s work if they wish to do so.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Hendrix\'s piece is important in the study of abstraction in art and eclectic usage of various means to create sound, such as his use of a right-handed guitar. The counterculture in America is also an important voice in the nuclear arms race between Russia and the USA and the how far the USA\'s policy of containment should go. The global dichotomy created by the two superpowers was one of the final issues that the public was massively involved in in the 20<sup>th</sup> century and this piece should remind spectators of the importance if this aspect of history.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The people would then go back to their smaller buildings, hop into their space-cars, and drive to their space-homes in the space-suburbs. They would put their kids to sleep, curl up in their beds, and go to sleep, possibly dreaming of their experience in the museum.

The eco-dome will contain, as mentioned, a grassy hill and a stage, on which a robotic Jimi Hendrix with holographic outer details plays his Star-Spangled Banner from start to finish. The four groups will witness and experience this together and among a holographic crowd of spectators. In the sky, the spectators will be able to see close-up shots of Hendrix\'s face and guitar as he uses expert feedback to portray war sounds. A short closing statement on the Vietnam War and the cultural climate in America will be given by a simulated Hendrix and the group will have the option of picking up a free copy of Kant\'s work if they wish to do so.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Hendrix\'s piece is important in the study of abstraction in art and eclectic usage of various means to create sound, such as his use of a right-handed guitar. The counterculture in America is also an important voice in the nuclear arms race between Russia and the USA and the how far the USA\'s policy of containment should go. The global dichotomy created by the two superpowers was one of the final issues that the public was massively involved in in the 20<sup>th</sup> century and this piece should remind spectators of the importance if this aspect of history.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The people would then go back to their smaller buildings, hop into their space-cars, and drive to their space-homes in the space-suburbs. They would put their kids to sleep, curl up in their beds, and go to sleep, possibly dreaming of their experience in the museum. The next morning, they would wake up, make a cup of coffee, get dressed, brush their teeth, eat breakfast, and go to space-work.</p>','Space-museum and Space-future.','','inherit','open','open','','3755-revision-v1','','','2013-12-10 11:02:14','2013-12-10 17:02:14','',3755,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3756',0,'revision','',0),(3757,58,'2013-12-10 13:37:01','2013-12-10 19:37:01','<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/1st-photo.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3758\" alt=\"1st photo\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/1st-photo.jpg\" width=\"269\" height=\"187\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://viz.cwrl.utexas.edu/files/repr_0.jpg\">http://viz.cwrl.utexas.edu/files/repr_0.jpg</a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a name=\"bmTitlePageTitle\"></a>\"The First Photograph\" Extra Credit\r\n\r\n“View from the Window at Le Gras” by Joseph Nicephore Niepce (French, 1765-1833) Heliograph on pewter1826-1827.

is now the year 2100 and planet Earth has become inhabitable.  Left to their own devices, the people of Earth have run the planet into the ground.  Fortunately, a few select scholars along with a few members of the upper class had the foresight to preserve what they have come to view as some of the most significant symbols of humanity.  Among these are Donatello’s <i>David</i>, Alexander Pope’s <i>Essay on Man</i>, Giacomo Puccini’s <i>Madama Butterfly</i>, and Stanley Kubrick’s <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>.  As part of the fleet that will be embarking into space, it has been decided that a museum ship of sorts will be built to properly preserve and display these works in an effort to share them with the coming generations and allow for their continuing influence for years to come.<!--more--></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            Donatello’s <i>David</i> was created in somewhere between 1430 and 1440.  An exact date has yet to be determined.  Artists of the time like Donatello helped to shape the beginnings of the art world as we know it today.  Donatello drew away from the typical image of David.  Many, such as Michelangelo, depicted David as a more masculine man and not the sinewy young boy Donatello created.  Donatello’s <i>David</i> is a symbol of freedom and liberty, both of which were challenged by the very family that commissioned the work.  This statue is a great representation of Humanist art as shown by the pose, medium, and nudity of the statue.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            For this piece, the lower of level of the three rooms has been designated for its display.  Due to its size and weight, it is near impossible to put the actual statue on the ship.  Therefore, a hologram projection will be used to display <i>David</i>.  Patrons will be able to change the size of the statue as well as rotate it in an effort to allow the best possible viewing.  Details such as the pose, the differing shade of the hair, etc. will all be more easily seen.  On a wall near the “statue” will be a computerized plaque detailing the history of the statue as well as biographical information of Donatello.  By being computerized, patrons will be able to choose from different languages.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            In 1734, Alexander Pope created a written work that was considered to be a masterpiece of its time.  This work was titled <i>An Essay on Man</i>.  Pope went into great detail discussing the psychology of humankind.  It was written in couplets written in iambic pentameter and was thought to be a piece of something much larger that Pope never completed.  It was his literary genius that encouraged his fellow man to think for themselves and to question the world around them.  Pope’s strides in his work encouraged his fellow writers.  It is because of this that <i>Essay</i> has been designated for preservation.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            The room directly over that of <i>David</i> will hold <i>Essay on Man</i> and any associated information.  In the far corner of the room, will be a bust of Alexander Pope.  Nearby will be a hard copy of the written work encased in a glass box on a pedestal – to insure its safety and preservation – under which will be a small plaque detailing the work.  Next to that will be another pedestal holding a computerized display that will allow virtual page turning as well as a spoken version with the option to select from a list of different languages.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            As the world of music began its transition into the modern era, Giacomo Puccini was beginning his rise to fame with the creation of numerous renowned operas.  Among the most famous was <i>Madama Buterfly</i> which was written in 1903.  Based on a story written by John Luther Long and a play by David Belasco, <i>Butterfly</i> details the tragic love story and eventual rejection of a young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, and her prearranged husband, B.F. Pinkerton.  This story is a classic, relatable story for people of all ages.  Puccini’s use of tonal fluctuations to express emotion and tell the story grew within the musical community.  Puccini’s ability to tell his story with his music, to create a gateway for the growth of musical history, and for showing the importance of cultural diversity and understanding are among the important reasons for the preservation of this work.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            In 1971, Stanley Kubrick created one of the most influential movies in cinematic history from a book written by Anthony Burgess in 1962.  That movie was <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>.  This movie came at a time when science fiction was increasingly popular.  A sci-fi punk psychological thriller, <i>Clockwork</i> studies the questionable subject of operant condition/brainwashing and takes the genre to a whole new level.  Is the concept of “eye for an eye” justifiable?  Is revenge ever okay?  In this movie Alex, played by Malcom McDowell, is a hoodlum wreaking havoc on the city.  When he is arrested his is subjected to brainwashing which leaves him weak and powerless when he is released back into the public.  When discovered by the husband of the woman he killed, he is then subjected to the same treatment he put his victims through previously.  With cinematic genius and production creativity aided by John Barry, Stanley Kubrick is able to force the viewing public to address the psychology, the repercussions of these techniques, and to engage critical thinking skills unlike any other movie.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"></p>\r\n            In an effort to adequately project the greatness of Puccini’s <i>Madama Butterfly </i>and Kubrick’s <i>A Clockwork Orange, </i>an entire half of the ship has been designated for a theater.  This full size screen will alternate showings of <i>Butterfly</i> and <i>Clockwork</i> on a daily basis.  Since it would be difficult to house a full troupe and accompanying orchestra, the music for the opera in its entirety will be broadcast over speakers just as the movie will.  There will theater seating much like that seen in theaters of the 21<sup>st</sup> century to accommodate up to 75 people at a time.  Attached to each seat will be individual headphones with language settings to accommodate those who do not speak English or Italian (the languages of the two productions).  Before each showing will be a brief history of each along with a short biography of its creator.\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 200%;font-family: \'Times New Roman\',\'serif\'\"> </span></p>','Final Project - Jessie German','','inherit','open','open','','3747-autosave-v1','','','2013-12-10 20:17:11','2013-12-11 02:17:11','',3747,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3764',0,'revision','',0),(3766,79,'2013-12-11 00:48:28','2013-12-11 06:48:28','<p align=\"RIGHT\">Jordan Pinion</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" align=\"CENTER\">Final Project</p>\r\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-480x320.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3784\" alt=\"planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-480x320\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-480x320-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"RIGHT\"><a href=\"http://top1walls.com/walls/space/planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-1600x832.jpg\">http://top1walls.com/walls/space/planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-1600x832.jpg</a></p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Time-stamp 2100:12:02 / 1230 E-24hr – Ping:trace; 204.855.05.01</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Requisition Request</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">From: Sgt Pinion, Jordan A.

For museum purposes, each “wall” of the Holodeck is dedicated to an individual piece of work and accompanying information. “Wall” is used because Holodeck space is measured from the outer limits of the Holodeck, as far inward as one hundred meters. This means that a platoon or even a single person could, and should stand directly in the center of the Holodeck, having only to turn and face the desired “wall” in order to call up and view is contents. Holodeck sensors detect which direction the person or platoon is currently facing, and magnify content as is necessary or requested on the active wall. Narration and oration may be done either via the ships AI, or in the event that a trained instructor is present, by amplified word of mouth.

Unfortunately, no physical originals exist, although data is often extensive, comprised of images, dimensions, 3D scans, historical information and relevant content tiles.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The first wall depicts the advance concepts of Leon Battista Alberti\'s <i>On Painting</i>, in addition to the actual text (both scanned and transcribed in digital format), as well as examples of the concept at work. The goal of this lesson, is to exemplify the birth of calculated reproduction, mathematics within art, and perfection of form through calculation. <i>On Painting</i> ushered in the Renaissance, through its theory, relying heavily on the aspects of dimension, proportion and distance. It even influenced Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps the greatest scientific and artistic mind of the time. The key point for this lesson is that this is where mathematics became integrated with our art, and thus our culture, shaping us into what we are today.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The next wall depicts in great detail <i>The Anatomy Lesson</i> by Rembrandt, in addition to several of his other works, as well as relevant pieces of the time having to do with the birth of medicine as a science. The goal of this lesson is two fold, both to exemplify the Baroque style of painting and for its importance in the introduction and propagation of the scientific revolution, which is literally the genesis of life as we now know it. Not to mention the implications of the applications of science in the field of medicine. It is also important to note that the ensuing scientific revolution had a profound influence on the artistic minds of the time, prompting almost fanatical attention to not just the appearance of the natural world, but also its machinations.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Wall number three consists of Goethe\'s <i>Faust</i> both in its written prose, as well as a programmed viewing of several renditions of the play and cinema adaptations. <i>Faust </i>was typical of the time in its reference to religious iconography, its celebration of the human condition and its dark warning about the price of knowledge, in addition to the celebration of the romantic hero. Users are expected to take away from this, the lessons that all knowledge has a price, and that the innate human condition and good intention of our race will not fail us, even as we are exiled from our own home. This piece is meant to be more symbolic in its lesson than the others, quietly adapted to fit the needs of the current populace.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The final wall is reserved for Darren Aronofsky\'s <i>Pie. </i>Depicted on this wall is the cinematic production itself, as well as tiles containing screenplay, scripts, writer/director notes, deleted scenes, behind the scenes and relevant data on Pi, Fractal Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Universal Pattern Law. (As well as a bitchin soundtrack). This work represented just how far the human mind had come since its first glimpse into the universal language of mathematics.

There is going to be three rectangular shape compartments halls in this space-ship, having just one entrance door and three exit doors. The first three halls will be like having two halls in one large hall measuring 100x100ft in length and breadth, while the other two halls will measure 50x100ft each. The first two in one hall will accommodate at least hundred and fifty visitors. Each of the two in one halls will take up to seventy five people. And the two separate halls will accommodate fifty people each. There would be a studio, where the Time Capsule Proposal written by me will be translated in two other languages apart from English, for the visitors to be well communicated to, i.e. French and Spanish Language.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nThe first Time Capsule Proposal (TCP1) “Letters from Mexico” by Hernan Cortes, which will be in the first two in one hall, will be display on the design wall in the hall, with a war-zone music in the background, the Biography of Hernan Cortes will be display, there would be a written script like pamphlet for all the visitors to look at, showing the expeditions made by Hernan Cortes, how he was known to be a Spanish conquistador who led the most historical expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire, and brought large portions of the mainland Mexico under the rule of the king of castle in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. Photographs will be displayed in the museum how Cortes conquers the mighty Aztec Empire with a match of 500 men and 11 ships. History of the Aztec Empire and how they were known for their rich tradition, and cultural values, and having a strong warriors will be display.  The visitors will be educated, and given the reason why the piece of work was innovative in its time because Hernan Cortes amongst his peers was the first to lead an expedition that brought down such a mighty Empire.\r\n\r\nThe TCP3 which is Title: “The Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter” by Alexander Gardner, will be display in the two in one second hall. The both TCP1 and TCP3 to some extent in terms of corpses look similar. That is why I prefer the tcp1 and tcp3 be in the same hall but demarcated by a transparent glasses. The different wounded soldiers’ photographs and dead corpses in the battlefield of Gettysburg will be display in the museum. These will further educate the visitors, to feel and see the impact and side effects of war on a nation, such as the war embarked upon by the America government against the North Vietnam since 1950’s. This museum ground will teach visitors the disadvantages of war. Photographs of dead people in the different stages of the war will be display on the wall for visitors to see, with a war music background in the scene. There would be that sober reflection, people begin to reminiscence what actually led to war? Why should people go to war? Why not use method of dialoguing to resolved problems instead of embarking on war? These and so many other questions would be asked by the visitor that will come into this museum ground. The motive of the Alexander piece of photographic work is to tell people that there is nothing interesting about war. The Biography and artistic work of Alexander Gardner will be communicated to the visitors. Visitors will also be educated on the photographic work of Alexander, and how to take a shot of wounded soldiers in the battlefield, the different positioning and stages.\r\n\r\nFor the TCP2, this is Title: “Agony in the Garden” by El Greco’s. The painting of El Greco’s will be display in second hall measuring 50x100ft with the accommodation 50 people. The hall will be categorized with painting of El Greco’s with detain contained in all the four Gospel accounts. The painting of Jesus kneeling down which illustrate the agony, pain and suffering he went through in the Garden of Gethsemane, the painting of the symbolic meaning of an angel who bore the chalice i.e. the golden cup which symbolizes the Passion and refers to an allusion to Christ’s words; ‘O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done’ (Matthew 26:42). Christ, kneeling in prayer in front of a great rock, faces the angel who gives him strength (Luke 22:41, 43). Beneath the angel, seemingly encased in the mist or cloud on which the heavenly messenger kneels, are the sleeping figures of the disciples Peter, James Major, and John (Matt.26:37;Mark 14:33). At the right, in the distance, Judas approaches, leading the guards of the chief priests who will take Christ captive (John 18:3). The visitors will be handed with a pamphlet given a vivid description of each stage. The essence of this museum is to educated and enlighten the visitor on the work of El Greco’s, and how he introduce both the horizontal and vertical composition to his work. The idea of the museum is to teach the people the most astonishing risk taking by El Greco’s in his Painting when he include in his painting the sense of discontinuous space created by the apparent enclosure of the sleeping disciples within the cloud underneath the angel: the viewer looks through a sort of whirlwind on which the angel is poised and sees Christ’s followers “a stone’s cast” away (Luke 22:41). The swirling oval of mist, which insulates the disciples from the supernatural event that is transpiring, is balanced at the upper right by a fog that is passing over the edge of the rock. The glaring divine light that emanates from above the angel creates unusually brilliant effects on the red robe of Christ; the robe’s sharply faceted planes range hue from almost white, on his shoulder, to deepest crimson, in the shadows about his left leg”.\r\n\r\nFinally, the last hall, which is the third hall, will be the work of Lil Hardy and Louis Armstrong, TCP4; Title: “Hotter Than That”. The idea of this museum for this piece of work will be more of entertainment and education. The Biography and History of Louis Armstrong will be display in a pamphlet that will be handed to any visitor that came in, with the different event attended in his life time. The pictures of Louis Armstrong playing the trumpet in different stages will be available for the visitor to see. Songs of Armstrong like “the Struttin with Some Barbecue”, “Wild Man Blues”, and \" Head Blues” will be played in the background along with “Hotter Than That”. Visitors will be given history of how swing came about? And how the work “Hotter Than That”, one of Louis Armstrong masterpieces by the band: Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings made him a famous musician by 1925-28, by this, Armstrong emerged as the first great jazz soloist, he single-handedly invented a compelling, propulsive, rhythmic inflection in his playing that came to be called “Swing”. The visitors will be lecture on who the father of Jazz was, that Armstrong was considered as the most influential jazz musician of all time when he taught the whole world about swing and also had a profound effect on the development of jazz. Armstrong was a great trumpeters not only a trumpeter but trombonists, saxophonists, singers (such as Billie Holiday) and even a pianists just like the wife lil Hardy who played the Piano in Hotter Than That. The visitors will also be educated about Armstrong artistic and technical prowess to jazz music, what makes his work innovative?, his technique in compelling swing; his brilliant technique; his sophisticated, daring sense of harmony; his ever-Mobil, expressive attack, timbre, and inflection; his gift for creating vital melodies; his dramatic, often complex sense of solo design; and his outsize musical energy in jazz music will be communicated to the visitors.\r\n\r\nWith this process of analysis, in the museum built in a space-ship, the visitors that would attend, will be more educated, entertained, and feel the impact of the true objectives meaning, and the historical context of all the Tcps display in this museum.','Final Project Essay: Building a museum in a space-ship using the four Tcps','','publish','open','open','','final-project-essay-building-a-museum-in-a-space-ship-using-the-four-tcps','','','2013-12-11 16:45:07','2013-12-11 22:45:07','',0,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3768',0,'post','',4),(3769,75,'2013-12-11 06:26:46','2013-12-11 12:26:46','<p align=\"center\">“The way I want to build my Museum in a Space-Ship”.</p>\r\nThe four Time Capsule Proposals for this semester which I wrote about were as follows:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>“Letters from Mexico” by Hernan Cortes.</li>\r\n	<li>“Agony in the Garden” by El Greco’s.</li>\r\n	<li>“The Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter” by Alexander Gardner.</li>\r\n	<li>“Hotter Than That” by Lil Hardy/Louis Armstrong.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nThere is this idea, the way I want to build my museum in a space-ship around the Four Time Capsule Proposal in this Semester listed above.

There would be a studio, where the Time Capsule Proposal written by me will be translated in two other languages apart from English, for the visitors to be well communicated to, i.e. French and Spanish Language.\r\n\r\nThe first Time Capsule Proposal (TCP1) “Letters from Mexico” by Hernan Cortes, which will be in the first two in one hall, will be display on the design wall in the hall, with a war-zone music in the background, the Biography of Hernan Cortes will be display, there would be a written script like pamphlet for all the visitors to look at, showing the expeditions made by Hernan Cortes, how he was known to be a Spanish conquistador who led the most historical expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire, and brought large portions of the mainland Mexico under the rule of the king of castle in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. Photographs will be displayed in the museum how Cortes conquers the mighty Aztec Empire with a match of 500 men and 11 ships. History of the Aztec Empire and how they were known for their rich tradition, and cultural values, and having a strong warriors will be display.  The visitors will be educated, and given the reason why the piece of work was innovative in its time because Hernan Cortes amongst his peers was the first to lead an expedition that brought down such a mighty Empire.\r\n\r\nThe TCP3 which is Title: “The Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter” by Alexander Gardner, will be display in the two in one second hall. The both TCP1 and TCP3 to some extent in terms of corpses look similar. That is why I prefer the tcp1 and tcp3 be in the same hall but demarcated by a transparent glasses. The different wounded soldiers’ photographs and dead corpses in the battlefield of Gettysburg will be display in the museum. These will further educate the visitors, to feel and see the impact and side effects of war on a nation, such as the war embarked upon by the America government against the North Vietnam since 1950’s. This museum ground will teach visitors the disadvantages of war. Photographs of dead people in the different stages of the war will be display on the wall for visitors to see, with a war music background in the scene. There would be that sober reflection, people begin to reminiscence what actually led to war? Why should people go to war? Why not use method of dialoguing to resolved problems instead of embarking on war? These and so many other questions would be asked by the visitor that will come into this museum ground. The motive of the Alexander piece of photographic work is to tell people that there is nothing interesting about war. The Biography and artistic work of Alexander Gardner will be communicated to the visitors. Visitors will also be educated on the photographic work of Alexander, and how to take a shot of wounded soldiers in the battlefield, the different positioning and stages.\r\n\r\nFor the TCP2, this is Title: “Agony in the Garden” by El Greco’s. The painting of El Greco’s will be display in second hall measuring 50x100ft with the accommodation 50 people. The hall will be categorized with painting of El Greco’s with detain contained in all the four Gospel accounts. The painting of Jesus kneeling down which illustrate the agony, pain and suffering he went through in the Garden of Gethsemane, the painting of the symbolic meaning of an angel who bore the chalice i.e. the golden cup which symbolizes the Passion and refers to an allusion to Christ’s words; ‘O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done’ (Matthew 26:42). Christ, kneeling in prayer in front of a great rock, faces the angel who gives him strength (Luke 22:41, 43). Beneath the angel, seemingly encased in the mist or cloud on which the heavenly messenger kneels, are the sleeping figures of the disciples Peter, James Major, and John (Matt.26:37;Mark 14:33). At the right, in the distance, Judas approaches, leading the guards of the chief priests who will take Christ captive (John 18:3). The visitors will be handed with a pamphlet given a vivid description of each stage. The essence of this museum is to educated and enlighten the visitor on the work of El Greco’s, and how he introduce both the horizontal and vertical composition to his work. The idea of the museum is to teach the people the most astonishing risk taking by El Greco’s in his Painting when he include in his painting the sense of discontinuous space created by the apparent enclosure of the sleeping disciples within the cloud underneath the angel: the viewer looks through a sort of whirlwind on which the angel is poised and sees Christ’s followers “a stone’s cast” away (Luke 22:41). The swirling oval of mist, which insulates the disciples from the supernatural event that is transpiring, is balanced at the upper right by a fog that is passing over the edge of the rock. The glaring divine light that emanates from above the angel creates unusually brilliant effects on the red robe of Christ; the robe’s sharply faceted planes range hue from almost white, on his shoulder, to deepest crimson, in the shadows about his left leg”.\r\n\r\nFinally, the last hall, which is the third hall, will be the work of Lil Hardy and Louis Armstrong, TCP4; Title: “Hotter Than That”. The idea of this museum for this piece of work will be more of entertainment and education. The Biography and History of Louis Armstrong will be display in a pamphlet that will be handed to any visitor that came in, with the different event attended in his life time. The pictures of Louis Armstrong playing the trumpet in different stages will be available for the visitor to see. Songs of Armstrong like “the Struttin with Some Barbecue”, “Wild Man Blues”, and \" Head Blues” will be played in the background along with “Hotter Than That”. Visitors will be given history of how swing came about? And how the work “Hotter Than That”, one of Louis Armstrong masterpieces by the band: Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings made him a famous musician by 1925-28, by this, Armstrong emerged as the first great jazz soloist, he single-handedly invented a compelling, propulsive, rhythmic inflection in his playing that came to be called “Swing”. The visitors will be lecture on who the father of Jazz was, that Armstrong was considered as the most influential jazz musician of all time when he taught the whole world about swing and also had a profound effect on the development of jazz. Armstrong was a great trumpeters not only a trumpeter but trombonists, saxophonists, singers (such as Billie Holiday) and even a pianists just like the wife lil Hardy who played the Piano in Hotter Than That. The visitors will also be educated about Armstrong artistic and technical prowess to jazz music, what makes his work innovative?, his technique in compelling swing; his brilliant technique; his sophisticated, daring sense of harmony; his ever-Mobil, expressive attack, timbre, and inflection; his gift for creating vital melodies; his dramatic, often complex sense of solo design; and his outsize musical energy in jazz music will be communicated to the visitors.\r\n\r\nWith this process of analysis, in the museum built in a space-ship, the visitors that would attend, will be more educated, entertained, and feel the impact of the true objectives meaning, and the historical context of all the Tcps display in this museum.','Final Project Essay: Building a museum in a space-ship using the four Tcps','','inherit','open','open','','3768-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 06:26:46','2013-12-11 12:26:46','',3768,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3769',0,'revision','',0),(3770,80,'2013-12-11 10:54:30','2013-12-11 16:54:30','The New World\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn 2103 astronomers noticed a huge asteroid that was on track to impact earth and completely destroy it.

In 2110 the new world leaders decide to put all their faith in the new world on the moon. The idea was brought up that a particular area of the new world should be built to dedicate and view all the great things of the past. A team was put together and sent around the world to document, photograph and video every possible point, and record history of the best four things to ever happen to this world. First on the list is Thomas More’s Utopia. The world leaders really enjoyed More’s ideas and considered about using his ideas to run the new world. Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, the Italians insisted that this was put in the great vault. The Americans were hesitant at first, but was convinced when the Italians said we could continue using it in the Loony Tunes. The Statue of Liberty was the third stop for the team; they wanted to show what this statue meant to people and show it from the birth to its final destination. The new world leaders also stated they wanted the statue come with them and to find every way possible to bring it.  With the final choice of the new world leaders they were very passionate in placing Gary Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket on display and wanted to have people experience what those men went through so they take the new world for granted.\r\n\r\nIn 2112 the moon has been completely drilled out and is ready the next stage in phase two.

While you are in his world you should take one moral from his world, it could always be worse, you could really live there.\r\n\r\nWhen entering the world of Mozart, you start your life as a friend of Mozart so you can really understand his brilliance. Imagine yourself standing next to him when he made the decision to write the music to The Marriage of Figaro in 1786.

Once you have finished your virtual life you can walk 2 miles north and go in the statue itself.

Needless to say everything that could go wrong went wrong. When team Die Hard flew towards the asteroid it was clipped by flying debris the size of a large truck and everyone but Bruce Willis was sucked out of the ship. Bruce was able climb back into the damaged ship and continues flying the battered ship. When Bruce reached the asteroid and went to drop the bomb the release mechanism malfunctioned and did not release as it was suppose to. So with all the carnage going on he is still able make a phone call to someone not important at all to tell them he was going to crash the ship into the asteroid. After his 15 minute phone call he final reached the asteroid and tried to crash his ship into it but somehow completely missed it. After not hearing anything back Bruce Willis and still seeing the asteroid still on track, the pre-selected people were placed on a ship and sent to the new world.

Most of the planet has been destroyed by nuclear bombs. The survivors have taken to space to find another planet to inhabit. For the past 100 years the people have been building space stations to live. Now that the final Mother ship has been built and about to deploy into space. I had the responsibility to build a archive on the mother ship to bring items from the our past to place in a museum on the Mother ship. I have chosen to bring virtual 3d version replicas of the Aztec Calendar stone, Mary Wollstonecrafts – Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Fredrick Chopin’s – Nocturne Op9 No.2, and A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles. In each of these exhibits it will also have wall displays and go into great detail about each item and the history of inventors. I believe these items will a great reminder of where we came from and educational for future generations to learn from so we do not repeat the past.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\nOn the second story of the Mother ship is where the museum will be, it will contain a 3d virtual Planetarium that will hold 50 people at a time. The first part of the exhibit will be over the Aztec Calendar Stone. Where the people can learn about the Stone and the civilization that made it and how they used to solar system to guide them. While they learn that the Aztec Calendar Stone was created by a civilization of Mesoamerica called the Aztecs. People believe it was carved in the 15th century around 1479. “It was a massive carving, 3 feet thick, almost 12 feet across, and weighing almost 25 tons. It was carved from basalt – solidified lava.” (Aztec-History.com) “The first calendar of the Aztec people was called the xiuhpohualli, the counting of years. This was a 365 day year, of course very helpful for planning your farming and predicting the weather.” (Aztec-History.com) “Then to bring the year up to 365 days there were 5 \"unlucky\" days added. Each year would also be divided into 4 seasons.” (Aztec-History.com) This stone impecible for its time, it was made to guide and let the people know when the seasons were coming to allow them to prepare their crops, and when to hold their festivles to the gods. The Aztec Calendar stone is very significant to the future generations. If future generations don’t know of how their ancestors lived and learn from the trial and errors that they have made in the past, the future generations are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. This will be a very educational exhibit.\r\n\r\nThen they will enter another 3d Virtual realtiy room that will hold 50 people where they will learn about Fredrick Chopin. Where they can actually see and feel like they are really there listening to him play as if they were actually there in the 1830’s. Here they will learn that The Nocturne Op.9 No.2 by Frederic Chopin pertaining to “Music Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 Chopin Nocturnes, Opus 9 Written 1830-1832 as a dedication to Madame Camille Pleyel” ( Prezi.com) Madame Camille Pleyel shown in the picture above. “Thanks to the more direct contact between the hammer and the string, the simple escapement action, constantly improved by Camille Pleyel and Kalkbrenner, assured a more exact control than the “double escapement” invented and patented (1822) by Erard” (Eigeldinger). Chopin created over 200 works of art in his life time. Chopin’s work especially Nocturne Op.9 No.2 should be preserved for future generations because Chopin is without a doubt, one of a kind, and still to this day his music will move you. Chopin’s work was received as a musical genius of the time.\r\n\r\nNext they would enter a theater where they will watch A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles. Where they learn the history about A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles and that it was released to the public to view in 1958. This was a film that gave viewers a whole new view of what kind of corruption was going on around the border. It was like the elephant in the room that no one wanted to talk about. “Beyond subverting generic conventions and American-held stereotypes, Welles makes another interesting move by imbuing the American characters in Touch of Evil with homoeroticism while concretizing the heterosexuality of Vargas. For an audience of 1958, when the national rhetoric espoused homosexuality as deviant and un-American, Quinlan’s homosexuality can be seen as another mechanism that flips the U.S.-Mexico binary.” (Welles) Future generations should be aware of political people that have been around for a long time; usually they become corrupt, and will try and do anything to get away with dishonorable acts, legal or not, to preserve their status in the population. Also to stand their ground for what they believe in, and not be in fear of their life because of how they are and what they believe.\r\n\r\nThen in the final part of the exhibit they will enter another Virtual reality room where they will sit and watch an animated 3d image of Mary Wollstonecraft reading you her book Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Where they will learn about The Vindication of the rights of woman by Mary Wollstonecraft and was published in 1790. Mary Wollstonecraft’s book was the first of its kind. She was a woman trapped in a controlled man’s world, and denied her potential in society. During this time it was much unheard of a professional woman writer. “The professional woman writer, the independent intellectual woman, was in fact an emerging species and Wollstonecraft played an important role in defining it.”(Woolf, p.102) This is why I strongly believe this book should be saved for preservation. This book is very significant for the future generations. The future generations must learn of the past trials and tribulations of the past. Until all bans on peoples rights and freedoms no matter what your race, gender, age are lifted people will not really be free to live a free life.\r\n\r\nAfter attending these exhibits would set up rooms where the people can go and talk and interact about the individual exhibits. I hope the people will come away with a greater knowledge of the past and the lost world that they came from. Also to take with them the knowledge to not make the same mistakes again. To become a peaceful, and resourceful society in the great solar system.\r\n\r\nWork Cited:\r\nEigeldinger, Jean-Jacques. \"Chopin And Pleyel.\" Clavier Companion 2.3 (2010): 10-12.

The first part of the exhibit will be over the Aztec Calendar Stone. Where the people can learn about the Stone and the civilization that made it and how they used to solar system to guide them. While they learn that the Aztec Calendar Stone was created by a civilization of Mesoamerica called the Aztecs. People believe it was carved in the 15th century around 1479. “It was a massive carving, 3 feet thick, almost 12 feet across, and weighing almost 25 tons. It was carved from basalt – solidified lava.” (Aztec-History.com) “The first calendar of the Aztec people was called the xiuhpohualli, the counting of years. This was a 365 day year, of course very helpful for planning your farming and predicting the weather.” (Aztec-History.com) “Then to bring the year up to 365 days there were 5 \"unlucky\" days added. Each year would also be divided into 4 seasons.” (Aztec-History.com) This stone impecible for its time, it was made to guide and let the people know when the seasons were coming to allow them to prepare their crops, and when to hold their festivles to the gods.\r\nThe Aztec Calendar stone is very significant to the future generations. If future generations don’t know of how their ancestors lived and learn from the trial and errors that they have made in the past, the future generations are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. This will be a very educational exhibit.\r\n\r\nThen they will enter another 3d Virtual realtiy room that will hold 50 people where they will learn about Fredrick Chopin. Where they can actually see and feel like they are really there listening to him play as if they were actually there in the 1830’s.

Chopin created over 200 works of art in his life time. Chopin’s work especially Nocturne Op.9 No.2 should be preserved for future generations because Chopin is without a doubt, one of a kind, and still to this day his music will move you.

Bradly</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">This is a formal requisition request for use of the holodeck during non-training and non maintenance hours for instructional and educational purposes. As I am sure you are aware, after the events of 20 years ago, much of our history, our art... our humanity, has been lost. Some of us believe forever. That being said, earlier today at around 0800 hours, one of our deep space probes made contact with an orbiting, non-contaminated satellite (aptly named “TimeCap501”) over ground zero. It would seem that one of the last survivors within the United States National Archives managed to expedite some cultural data to the bird before succumbing to the techno-cyte virus. Upon further examination of the files therein, I have found four pieces of historical significance, in addition to a plain text file. The text file proved to be a journal of sorts. I won\'t go into detail, but the one responsible for saving this data wished for them to be a lesson to us all. And I agree with him. Full report and recommendation for historical article data preservation will follow no later than 2100:12:16 / 2300 E-24hr</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more--></p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The Holodeck is a massive stadium sized room located one deck above the hangar, and one below the SLD (Sub-Light Drive). It is capable of interpreting data fed into the ships AI in order to manifest lifelike hologram replications. The capabilities of the Holodeck are limited only to the skill and imagination of the one coding the specific simulation scenario. Although it may be noted that holograms are incapable of acquiring mass, therefore to provide the illusion of a solid object, physical obstacles may be placed in the Holodeck, and are then “disguised” by the programming to fit the current scenario. It may also be noted that being powered and operated by the ships AI, other sensory data may be linked to any HUD (Heads up Display) operating on the ships network. For example, if a user decides to toggle IR (Infrared) mode on a HUD or sensor whilst inside a scenario depicting organic life, the HUD will register positive for heat signatures (despite the fact that they are, in fact, holograms). The Holodeck is also capable of regulating oxygen levels, gravity and light and temperature.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">While initially intended for training exercises, the Holodeck is being re-purposed during non-training and non-maintenance hours to serve as a historical museum and educational aid. For museum purposes, each “wall” of the Holodeck is dedicated to an individual piece of work and accompanying information. “Wall” is used because Holodeck space is measured from the outer limits of the Holodeck, as far inward as one hundred meters. This means that a platoon or even a single person could, and should stand directly in the center of the Holodeck, having only to turn and face the desired “wall” in order to call up and view is contents. Holodeck sensors detect which direction the person or platoon is currently facing, and magnify content as is necessary or requested on the active wall. Narration and oration may be done either via the ships AI, or in the event that a trained instructor is present, by amplified word of mouth. All data of cultural and artistic concern are protected through several redundancies and back-ups. Unfortunately, no physical originals exist, although data is often extensive, comprised of images, dimensions, 3D scans, historical information and relevant content tiles.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The first wall depicts the advance concepts of Leon Battista Alberti\'s <i>On Painting</i>, in addition to the actual text (both scanned and transcribed in digital format), as well as examples of the concept at work. The goal of this lesson, is to exemplify the birth of calculated reproduction, mathematics within art, and perfection of form through calculation. <i>On Painting</i> ushered in the Renaissance, through its theory, relying heavily on the aspects of dimension, proportion and distance. It even influenced Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps the greatest scientific and artistic mind of the time. The key point for this lesson is that this is where mathematics became integrated with our art, and thus our culture, shaping us into what we are today.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The next wall depicts in great detail <i>The Anatomy Lesson</i> by Rembrandt, in addition to several of his other works, as well as relevant pieces of the time having to do with the birth of medicine as a science. The goal of this lesson is two fold, both to exemplify the Baroque style of painting and for its importance in the introduction and propagation of the scientific revolution, which is literally the genesis of life as we now know it. Not to mention the implications of the applications of science in the field of medicine. It is also important to note that the ensuing scientific revolution had a profound influence on the artistic minds of the time, prompting almost fanatical attention to not just the appearance of the natural world, but also its machinations.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Wall number three consists of Goethe\'s <i>Faust</i> both in its written prose, as well as a programmed viewing of several renditions of the play and cinema adaptations. <i>Faust </i>was typical of the time in its reference to religious iconography, its celebration of the human condition and its dark warning about the price of knowledge, in addition to the celebration of the romantic hero. Users are expected to take away from this, the lessons that all knowledge has a price, and that the innate human condition and good intention of our race will not fail us, even as we are exiled from our own home. This piece is meant to be more symbolic in its lesson than the others, quietly adapted to fit the needs of the current populace.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The final wall is reserved for Darren Aronofsky\'s <i>Pie. </i>Depicted on this wall is the cinematic production itself, as well as tiles containing screenplay, scripts, writer/director notes, deleted scenes, behind the scenes and relevant data on Pi, Fractal Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Universal Pattern Law. (As well as a bitchin soundtrack). This work represented just how far the human mind had come since its first glimpse into the universal language of mathematics. It also perfectly captures the spirit and feel of Modernist Cinema as well as surrealist techniques. Also present in <i>Pi</i> is the same cautionary message of forbidden knowledge.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">What is most important about these works as a collection, are their lessons concerning the growth of the human mind, our perception of the universe around us, and our explosive scientific evolution to where we are today, a space-faring race once again in a frontier environment very much synonymous to the conditions that spurred our scientific and artistic curiosity at the start. These pieces are to be revered not only as exceptional pieces of human history, but as a record of our races craving for knowledge and drive to define and redefine our perceived reality.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Observation of this museum / educational aid is to be treated as a military cultural stand-down. The Commanding Officer has deemed this new data to be exceptionally important to our race, and definitively in need of preservation and understanding. As such, all units aboard the USS Providence are required to attend a museum session within the Holodeck at least once a year as part of Annual Training. Coordination of Cultural Annual Training is the responsibility of each units senior leadership. Attending Cultural Annual Training is seen as a reverent occasion, one that should be reflected deeply upon and not taken lightly. Strict drill formation and dress uniform will be used during all sessions. Failure to comply with the requirements set forth is in direct violation of the ships good order and discipline, as well as failure to follow a direct order, and as such may be subject to NJP (Non Judicial Punishment) including, but not limited to reduction of grade, forfeiture of liberty hours, forfeiture of liberty contraband and forfeiture of all personal belongings for a term no less than 1 standard Earth year.</p>','The Triumph of Intelligence','','inherit','open','open','','3766-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 16:41:26','2013-12-11 22:41:26','',3766,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3782',0,'revision','',0),(3777,1,'2013-12-11 16:37:50','2013-12-11 22:37:50','<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/guten.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3753\" alt=\"guten\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/guten.png\" width=\"277\" height=\"182\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenbergbible/\">http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenbergbible/</a>\r\n\r\n“The Gutenberg Bible” Extra Credit<br>\r\nThe Gutenberg bible printed by Johann Gutenberg ca. 1454-55 is the first complete book printed with a movable metal type.

Because of its uniqueness and its significance to the arts and humanities, Joseph Nicephore first photograph is among the Ransoms Centers and indeed the worlds treasures. Taken by Niepce in either 1826-1827, the image depicts the view from an upstairs window at his estate, Le Gras, which is located in the Burgundy region of France. This single photographic plate represents the origin of today’s photography, film, and other media arts.<br><br>\r\n<!--more-->\r\nNiepce began his experiments with photography around1816, concurrently pursing two paths of exploration. He invented a new method of printmaking by copying engravings using only light and chemistry. Niepce also sought to capture direct views of nature by using the same process in combination with a camera obscura, an optical device used by artist as a drawing aid. After experimenting with paper, glass, and stone supports for various resins that hardened when exposed to light, Niepce began to use pewter plates in 1826. Sometime during that year or the next he coated his pewter plate with bitumen of Judea ( an asphalt derivative of petroleum) and loaded it into the camera obscura looking out the window of his second story workroom. After the exposure of at least eight hours, he removed the plate and washed it with a mixture of white petroleum and oil of lavender to dissolve the areas of bitumen that had not been hardened by the light. It produced the image we see today of the courtyard, trees, and the buildings of Niepce’s estate. Niepce called his invention “heliography,” or sun drawing.\r\n<br><br>\r\nIn 1829 Niepce began a collaboration with the Parisian artist Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre to improve the process, but Niepce died in 1833 before it was completed. In 1839, after six more years of independent research and experimentation, Daguerre announced his improved photographic technique, the “daguerreotype.” Niepce’s role in photography’s invention was overshadowed by Daguerre and by the Englishman William Fox Talbot, who announced his own photographic process in 1839.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAfter a public display in an exhibition in London in 1898, Niepce’s heliograph lay in obscurity for over 50 years, forgotten by its owners. In 1952 the photography historian Helmut Gernsheim was able to establish the plate’s history and discover where descendants of the heliograph’s last owner had stored it. Through his subsequent publications, Gernsheim returned Niepce to his rightful place as the inventor of photography. When Harry Huntt Ransom purchased Gernsheim’s photography collection in 1963, Gernsheim donated Niepce’s heliograph. Today, view from the Window at Le Gras- the world’s earliest successful photograph from nature- is on permanent display at the Ransom Center.\r\n<br><br>\r\nIn collaboration with the Ransom Center in 2002, the Getty Conservation Institute conducted the first scientific study of the heliograph’s material makeup, determined its state of conservation, and repaired the original gilt wood frame. The Getty Conservation Institute also designed and constructed a new protective case for the heliograph, which provides constant monitoring of its condition and environment. This was a great exhibit, I learned a lot about the beginning of photography.','The First Photograph','','inherit','open','open','','3757-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 16:39:56','2013-12-11 22:39:56','',3757,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3780',0,'revision','',0),(3781,1,'2013-12-11 16:40:59','2013-12-11 22:40:59','<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/radial.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3761\" style=\"width: 279px;height: 179px\" alt=\"radial\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/radial.png\" width=\"128\" height=\"179\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/events/2013/magnumsymposium/images/radical_160.gif\">http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/events/2013/magnumsymposium/images/radical_160.gif</a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a name=\"bmTitlePageTitle\"></a>             \"Radical Transformation\" - Extra Credit\r\n\r\nRadical Transformation Magnum photos into the digital age. Magnum Photos photographer have produced some of the most memorable images of the last century, shaping history and revolutionizing photography’s influence on modern culture. Founded in1947, it was the first cooperative agency to be established and operated by photographers, thus insuring unprecedented creative, editorial, and economic independence. It’s founders, including the renowned photographers Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, David “Chim” Seymour, and George Rodger, united in their pursuit of creative freedom and their commitment to sharing their images with the world. Membership in this collective empowered photographers to document conflict and liberation, revolution and reform, while preserving their own powerfully distinct points of view. Over the last 65 years, Magnum has flourished despite the impact of radical technological, economic, and cultural transformations on the publishing and media.<br><br>\r\n<!--more-->\r\nEstablished during the post-war golden age of the picture magazine, Magnum first found its audiences in the readers of life, Holiday, Look, Paris Match, and the Picture Post. While photographers on the assignment customarily submitted their film to editors, who used the photographs to illustrate pre-determined story concepts, the founders of Magnum wished to be central to the editorial process rather than serving the vision of the magazines. Their newly founded agency would allow photographers to explore the world on their own terms, developing and marketing their own photo stories, while owing the rights and controlling the use of their own images. Operating within the new model, Magnum photographers witnessed and interpreted many of the defining moments of the twentieth century.\r\n<br><br>\r\nJust as the picture magazines reached their peak of influence in the 1950’s, television began to take over as the dominate form of mass communication. The offshoot Magnum Films, operating from 1964 to 1970, was perhaps most directly aimed at reclaiming some of the television market, while more Magnum photographers began to conceive of the book as the ideal vehicle for their images. They aspired to reach the fullest expression of their personal vision through extended documentary projects, convinced independently and conducted outside the traditional framework of the photojournalism. The editorial market continued to shrink just as photography began to enjoy an elevated status in the art world, with photographers finding new audiences in the museums and galleries.\r\n<br><br>\r\nOver the last decade, new technologies have dramatically changed the way photographic imagery is captured, distributed, and consumed. In this new environment, Magnum photographers have kept pace, experimenting with a variety of multimedia platforms to publish their work. This exhibition investigates the evolution of Magnum Photos from print photojournalism to the digital age, revealing a global cooperative in continual flux, persistently exploring new relationships between photographers, their subjects, and their viewers. Drawn from the vast collections of prints from the agency’s New York bureau placed on deposit at the Harry Ransom Center in 2009, the exhibition highlights ways in which these photojournalists and artist, these visual reporters and poets, have continually reinvented themselves.\r\n<br><br>\r\nThis exhibition was organized by Jessica S. McDonald, Nancy Inman and Marlene Nathan Meyerson Curator of Photography, and Roy L. Flukinger, senior Research Curator of Photography, at the Ransom Center.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->','The Radical Transformation','','inherit','open','open','','3760-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 16:40:59','2013-12-11 22:40:59','',3760,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3781',0,'revision','',0),(3783,1,'2013-12-11 16:43:01','2013-12-11 22:43:01','<p align=\"RIGHT\">Jordan Pinion</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" align=\"CENTER\">Final Project</p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"RIGHT\"><a href=\"http://top1walls.com/walls/space/planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-1600x832.jpg\">http://top1walls.com/walls/space/planets-spaceships-science-fiction-vehicles-1513313-1600x832.jpg</a></p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Time-stamp 2100:12:02 / 1230 E-24hr – Ping:trace; 204.855.05.01</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Requisition Request</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">From: Sgt Pinion, Jordan A.

Bradly</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">This is a formal requisition request for use of the holodeck during non-training and non maintenance hours for instructional and educational purposes. As I am sure you are aware, after the events of 20 years ago, much of our history, our art... our humanity, has been lost. Some of us believe forever. That being said, earlier today at around 0800 hours, one of our deep space probes made contact with an orbiting, non-contaminated satellite (aptly named “TimeCap501”) over ground zero. It would seem that one of the last survivors within the United States National Archives managed to expedite some cultural data to the bird before succumbing to the techno-cyte virus. Upon further examination of the files therein, I have found four pieces of historical significance, in addition to a plain text file. The text file proved to be a journal of sorts. I won\'t go into detail, but the one responsible for saving this data wished for them to be a lesson to us all. And I agree with him. Full report and recommendation for historical article data preservation will follow no later than 2100:12:16 / 2300 E-24hr</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more--></p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The Holodeck is a massive stadium sized room located one deck above the hangar, and one below the SLD (Sub-Light Drive). It is capable of interpreting data fed into the ships AI in order to manifest lifelike hologram replications. The capabilities of the Holodeck are limited only to the skill and imagination of the one coding the specific simulation scenario. Although it may be noted that holograms are incapable of acquiring mass, therefore to provide the illusion of a solid object, physical obstacles may be placed in the Holodeck, and are then “disguised” by the programming to fit the current scenario. It may also be noted that being powered and operated by the ships AI, other sensory data may be linked to any HUD (Heads up Display) operating on the ships network. For example, if a user decides to toggle IR (Infrared) mode on a HUD or sensor whilst inside a scenario depicting organic life, the HUD will register positive for heat signatures (despite the fact that they are, in fact, holograms). The Holodeck is also capable of regulating oxygen levels, gravity and light and temperature.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">While initially intended for training exercises, the Holodeck is being re-purposed during non-training and non-maintenance hours to serve as a historical museum and educational aid. For museum purposes, each “wall” of the Holodeck is dedicated to an individual piece of work and accompanying information. “Wall” is used because Holodeck space is measured from the outer limits of the Holodeck, as far inward as one hundred meters. This means that a platoon or even a single person could, and should stand directly in the center of the Holodeck, having only to turn and face the desired “wall” in order to call up and view is contents. Holodeck sensors detect which direction the person or platoon is currently facing, and magnify content as is necessary or requested on the active wall. Narration and oration may be done either via the ships AI, or in the event that a trained instructor is present, by amplified word of mouth. All data of cultural and artistic concern are protected through several redundancies and back-ups. Unfortunately, no physical originals exist, although data is often extensive, comprised of images, dimensions, 3D scans, historical information and relevant content tiles.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The first wall depicts the advance concepts of Leon Battista Alberti\'s <i>On Painting</i>, in addition to the actual text (both scanned and transcribed in digital format), as well as examples of the concept at work. The goal of this lesson, is to exemplify the birth of calculated reproduction, mathematics within art, and perfection of form through calculation. <i>On Painting</i> ushered in the Renaissance, through its theory, relying heavily on the aspects of dimension, proportion and distance. It even influenced Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps the greatest scientific and artistic mind of the time. The key point for this lesson is that this is where mathematics became integrated with our art, and thus our culture, shaping us into what we are today.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The next wall depicts in great detail <i>The Anatomy Lesson</i> by Rembrandt, in addition to several of his other works, as well as relevant pieces of the time having to do with the birth of medicine as a science. The goal of this lesson is two fold, both to exemplify the Baroque style of painting and for its importance in the introduction and propagation of the scientific revolution, which is literally the genesis of life as we now know it. Not to mention the implications of the applications of science in the field of medicine. It is also important to note that the ensuing scientific revolution had a profound influence on the artistic minds of the time, prompting almost fanatical attention to not just the appearance of the natural world, but also its machinations.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Wall number three consists of Goethe\'s <i>Faust</i> both in its written prose, as well as a programmed viewing of several renditions of the play and cinema adaptations. <i>Faust </i>was typical of the time in its reference to religious iconography, its celebration of the human condition and its dark warning about the price of knowledge, in addition to the celebration of the romantic hero. Users are expected to take away from this, the lessons that all knowledge has a price, and that the innate human condition and good intention of our race will not fail us, even as we are exiled from our own home. This piece is meant to be more symbolic in its lesson than the others, quietly adapted to fit the needs of the current populace.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The final wall is reserved for Darren Aronofsky\'s <i>Pie. </i>Depicted on this wall is the cinematic production itself, as well as tiles containing screenplay, scripts, writer/director notes, deleted scenes, behind the scenes and relevant data on Pi, Fractal Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Universal Pattern Law. (As well as a bitchin soundtrack). This work represented just how far the human mind had come since its first glimpse into the universal language of mathematics. It also perfectly captures the spirit and feel of Modernist Cinema as well as surrealist techniques. Also present in <i>Pi</i> is the same cautionary message of forbidden knowledge.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">What is most important about these works as a collection, are their lessons concerning the growth of the human mind, our perception of the universe around us, and our explosive scientific evolution to where we are today, a space-faring race once again in a frontier environment very much synonymous to the conditions that spurred our scientific and artistic curiosity at the start. These pieces are to be revered not only as exceptional pieces of human history, but as a record of our races craving for knowledge and drive to define and redefine our perceived reality.</p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Observation of this museum / educational aid is to be treated as a military cultural stand-down. The Commanding Officer has deemed this new data to be exceptionally important to our race, and definitively in need of preservation and understanding. As such, all units aboard the USS Providence are required to attend a museum session within the Holodeck at least once a year as part of Annual Training. Coordination of Cultural Annual Training is the responsibility of each units senior leadership. Attending Cultural Annual Training is seen as a reverent occasion, one that should be reflected deeply upon and not taken lightly.

Bradly</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">This is a formal requisition request for use of the holodeck during non-training and non maintenance hours for instructional and educational purposes. As I am sure you are aware, after the events of 20 years ago, much of our history, our art... our humanity, has been lost. Some of us believe forever. That being said, earlier today at around 0800 hours, one of our deep space probes made contact with an orbiting, non-contaminated satellite (aptly named “TimeCap501”) over ground zero. It would seem that one of the last survivors within the United States National Archives managed to expedite some cultural data to the bird before succumbing to the techno-cyte virus. Upon further examination of the files therein, I have found four pieces of historical significance, in addition to a plain text file. The text file proved to be a journal of sorts. I won\'t go into detail, but the one responsible for saving this data wished for them to be a lesson to us all. And I agree with him. Full report and recommendation for historical article data preservation will follow no later than 2100:12:16 / 2300 E-24hr</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more--></p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The Holodeck is a massive stadium sized room located one deck above the hangar, and one below the SLD (Sub-Light Drive). It is capable of interpreting data fed into the ships AI in order to manifest lifelike hologram replications. The capabilities of the Holodeck are limited only to the skill and imagination of the one coding the specific simulation scenario. Although it may be noted that holograms are incapable of acquiring mass, therefore to provide the illusion of a solid object, physical obstacles may be placed in the Holodeck, and are then “disguised” by the programming to fit the current scenario. It may also be noted that being powered and operated by the ships AI, other sensory data may be linked to any HUD (Heads up Display) operating on the ships network. For example, if a user decides to toggle IR (Infrared) mode on a HUD or sensor whilst inside a scenario depicting organic life, the HUD will register positive for heat signatures (despite the fact that they are, in fact, holograms). The Holodeck is also capable of regulating oxygen levels, gravity and light and temperature.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">While initially intended for training exercises, the Holodeck is being re-purposed during non-training and non-maintenance hours to serve as a historical museum and educational aid. For museum purposes, each “wall” of the Holodeck is dedicated to an individual piece of work and accompanying information. “Wall” is used because Holodeck space is measured from the outer limits of the Holodeck, as far inward as one hundred meters. This means that a platoon or even a single person could, and should stand directly in the center of the Holodeck, having only to turn and face the desired “wall” in order to call up and view is contents. Holodeck sensors detect which direction the person or platoon is currently facing, and magnify content as is necessary or requested on the active wall. Narration and oration may be done either via the ships AI, or in the event that a trained instructor is present, by amplified word of mouth. All data of cultural and artistic concern are protected through several redundancies and back-ups. Unfortunately, no physical originals exist, although data is often extensive, comprised of images, dimensions, 3D scans, historical information and relevant content tiles.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The first wall depicts the advance concepts of Leon Battista Alberti\'s <i>On Painting</i>, in addition to the actual text (both scanned and transcribed in digital format), as well as examples of the concept at work. The goal of this lesson, is to exemplify the birth of calculated reproduction, mathematics within art, and perfection of form through calculation. <i>On Painting</i> ushered in the Renaissance, through its theory, relying heavily on the aspects of dimension, proportion and distance. It even influenced Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps the greatest scientific and artistic mind of the time. The key point for this lesson is that this is where mathematics became integrated with our art, and thus our culture, shaping us into what we are today.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The next wall depicts in great detail <i>The Anatomy Lesson</i> by Rembrandt, in addition to several of his other works, as well as relevant pieces of the time having to do with the birth of medicine as a science. The goal of this lesson is two fold, both to exemplify the Baroque style of painting and for its importance in the introduction and propagation of the scientific revolution, which is literally the genesis of life as we now know it. Not to mention the implications of the applications of science in the field of medicine. It is also important to note that the ensuing scientific revolution had a profound influence on the artistic minds of the time, prompting almost fanatical attention to not just the appearance of the natural world, but also its machinations.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Wall number three consists of Goethe\'s <i>Faust</i> both in its written prose, as well as a programmed viewing of several renditions of the play and cinema adaptations. <i>Faust </i>was typical of the time in its reference to religious iconography, its celebration of the human condition and its dark warning about the price of knowledge, in addition to the celebration of the romantic hero. Users are expected to take away from this, the lessons that all knowledge has a price, and that the innate human condition and good intention of our race will not fail us, even as we are exiled from our own home. This piece is meant to be more symbolic in its lesson than the others, quietly adapted to fit the needs of the current populace.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The final wall is reserved for Darren Aronofsky\'s <i>Pie. </i>Depicted on this wall is the cinematic production itself, as well as tiles containing screenplay, scripts, writer/director notes, deleted scenes, behind the scenes and relevant data on Pi, Fractal Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Universal Pattern Law. (As well as a bitchin soundtrack). This work represented just how far the human mind had come since its first glimpse into the universal language of mathematics. It also perfectly captures the spirit and feel of Modernist Cinema as well as surrealist techniques. Also present in <i>Pi</i> is the same cautionary message of forbidden knowledge.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">What is most important about these works as a collection, are their lessons concerning the growth of the human mind, our perception of the universe around us, and our explosive scientific evolution to where we are today, a space-faring race once again in a frontier environment very much synonymous to the conditions that spurred our scientific and artistic curiosity at the start. These pieces are to be revered not only as exceptional pieces of human history, but as a record of our races craving for knowledge and drive to define and redefine our perceived reality.</p>\r\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Observation of this museum / educational aid is to be treated as a military cultural stand-down. The Commanding Officer has deemed this new data to be exceptionally important to our race, and definitively in need of preservation and understanding. As such, all units aboard the USS Providence are required to attend a museum session within the Holodeck at least once a year as part of Annual Training. Coordination of Cultural Annual Training is the responsibility of each units senior leadership. Attending Cultural Annual Training is seen as a reverent occasion, one that should be reflected deeply upon and not taken lightly. Strict drill formation and dress uniform will be used during all sessions. Failure to comply with the requirements set forth is in direct violation of the ships good order and discipline, as well as failure to follow a direct order, and as such may be subject to NJP (Non Judicial Punishment) including, but not limited to reduction of grade, forfeiture of liberty hours, forfeiture of liberty contraband and forfeiture of all personal belongings for a term no less than 1 standard Earth year.</p>','The Triumph of Intelligence','','inherit','open','open','','3766-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 16:44:22','2013-12-11 22:44:22','',3766,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3785',0,'revision','',0),(3786,1,'2013-12-11 16:45:07','2013-12-11 22:45:07','<p align=\"center\">“The way I want to build my Museum in a Space-Ship”.</p>\r\nThe four Time Capsule Proposals for this semester which I wrote about were as follows:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>“Letters from Mexico” by Hernan Cortes.</li>\r\n	<li>“Agony in the Garden” by El Greco’s.</li>\r\n	<li>“The Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter” by Alexander Gardner.</li>\r\n	<li>“Hotter Than That” by Lil Hardy/Louis Armstrong.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nThere is this idea, the way I want to build my museum in a space-ship around the Four Time Capsule Proposal in this Semester listed above. There is going to be three rectangular shape compartments halls in this space-ship, having just one entrance door and three exit doors. The first three halls will be like having two halls in one large hall measuring 100x100ft in length and breadth, while the other two halls will measure 50x100ft each. The first two in one hall will accommodate at least hundred and fifty visitors. Each of the two in one halls will take up to seventy five people. And the two separate halls will accommodate fifty people each. There would be a studio, where the Time Capsule Proposal written by me will be translated in two other languages apart from English, for the visitors to be well communicated to, i.e. French and Spanish Language.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nThe first Time Capsule Proposal (TCP1) “Letters from Mexico” by Hernan Cortes, which will be in the first two in one hall, will be display on the design wall in the hall, with a war-zone music in the background, the Biography of Hernan Cortes will be display, there would be a written script like pamphlet for all the visitors to look at, showing the expeditions made by Hernan Cortes, how he was known to be a Spanish conquistador who led the most historical expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire, and brought large portions of the mainland Mexico under the rule of the king of castle in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. Photographs will be displayed in the museum how Cortes conquers the mighty Aztec Empire with a match of 500 men and 11 ships. History of the Aztec Empire and how they were known for their rich tradition, and cultural values, and having a strong warriors will be display.  The visitors will be educated, and given the reason why the piece of work was innovative in its time because Hernan Cortes amongst his peers was the first to lead an expedition that brought down such a mighty Empire.\r\n\r\nThe TCP3 which is Title: “The Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter” by Alexander Gardner, will be display in the two in one second hall. The both TCP1 and TCP3 to some extent in terms of corpses look similar. That is why I prefer the tcp1 and tcp3 be in the same hall but demarcated by a transparent glasses. The different wounded soldiers’ photographs and dead corpses in the battlefield of Gettysburg will be display in the museum. These will further educate the visitors, to feel and see the impact and side effects of war on a nation, such as the war embarked upon by the America government against the North Vietnam since 1950’s. This museum ground will teach visitors the disadvantages of war. Photographs of dead people in the different stages of the war will be display on the wall for visitors to see, with a war music background in the scene. There would be that sober reflection, people begin to reminiscence what actually led to war? Why should people go to war? Why not use method of dialoguing to resolved problems instead of embarking on war? These and so many other questions would be asked by the visitor that will come into this museum ground. The motive of the Alexander piece of photographic work is to tell people that there is nothing interesting about war. The Biography and artistic work of Alexander Gardner will be communicated to the visitors. Visitors will also be educated on the photographic work of Alexander, and how to take a shot of wounded soldiers in the battlefield, the different positioning and stages.\r\n\r\nFor the TCP2, this is Title: “Agony in the Garden” by El Greco’s. The painting of El Greco’s will be display in second hall measuring 50x100ft with the accommodation 50 people. The hall will be categorized with painting of El Greco’s with detain contained in all the four Gospel accounts. The painting of Jesus kneeling down which illustrate the agony, pain and suffering he went through in the Garden of Gethsemane, the painting of the symbolic meaning of an angel who bore the chalice i.e. the golden cup which symbolizes the Passion and refers to an allusion to Christ’s words; ‘O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done’ (Matthew 26:42). Christ, kneeling in prayer in front of a great rock, faces the angel who gives him strength (Luke 22:41, 43). Beneath the angel, seemingly encased in the mist or cloud on which the heavenly messenger kneels, are the sleeping figures of the disciples Peter, James Major, and John (Matt.26:37;Mark 14:33). At the right, in the distance, Judas approaches, leading the guards of the chief priests who will take Christ captive (John 18:3). The visitors will be handed with a pamphlet given a vivid description of each stage. The essence of this museum is to educated and enlighten the visitor on the work of El Greco’s, and how he introduce both the horizontal and vertical composition to his work. The idea of the museum is to teach the people the most astonishing risk taking by El Greco’s in his Painting when he include in his painting the sense of discontinuous space created by the apparent enclosure of the sleeping disciples within the cloud underneath the angel: the viewer looks through a sort of whirlwind on which the angel is poised and sees Christ’s followers “a stone’s cast” away (Luke 22:41). The swirling oval of mist, which insulates the disciples from the supernatural event that is transpiring, is balanced at the upper right by a fog that is passing over the edge of the rock. The glaring divine light that emanates from above the angel creates unusually brilliant effects on the red robe of Christ; the robe’s sharply faceted planes range hue from almost white, on his shoulder, to deepest crimson, in the shadows about his left leg”.\r\n\r\nFinally, the last hall, which is the third hall, will be the work of Lil Hardy and Louis Armstrong, TCP4; Title: “Hotter Than That”. The idea of this museum for this piece of work will be more of entertainment and education. The Biography and History of Louis Armstrong will be display in a pamphlet that will be handed to any visitor that came in, with the different event attended in his life time. The pictures of Louis Armstrong playing the trumpet in different stages will be available for the visitor to see. Songs of Armstrong like “the Struttin with Some Barbecue”, “Wild Man Blues”, and \" Head Blues” will be played in the background along with “Hotter Than That”. Visitors will be given history of how swing came about? And how the work “Hotter Than That”, one of Louis Armstrong masterpieces by the band: Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings made him a famous musician by 1925-28, by this, Armstrong emerged as the first great jazz soloist, he single-handedly invented a compelling, propulsive, rhythmic inflection in his playing that came to be called “Swing”. The visitors will be lecture on who the father of Jazz was, that Armstrong was considered as the most influential jazz musician of all time when he taught the whole world about swing and also had a profound effect on the development of jazz. Armstrong was a great trumpeters not only a trumpeter but trombonists, saxophonists, singers (such as Billie Holiday) and even a pianists just like the wife lil Hardy who played the Piano in Hotter Than That. The visitors will also be educated about Armstrong artistic and technical prowess to jazz music, what makes his work innovative?, his technique in compelling swing; his brilliant technique; his sophisticated, daring sense of harmony; his ever-Mobil, expressive attack, timbre, and inflection; his gift for creating vital melodies; his dramatic, often complex sense of solo design; and his outsize musical energy in jazz music will be communicated to the visitors.\r\n\r\nWith this process of analysis, in the museum built in a space-ship, the visitors that would attend, will be more educated, entertained, and feel the impact of the true objectives meaning, and the historical context of all the Tcps display in this museum.','Final Project Essay: Building a museum in a space-ship using the four Tcps','','inherit','open','open','','3768-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 16:45:07','2013-12-11 22:45:07','',3768,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3786',0,'revision','',0),(3788,1,'2013-12-11 16:46:09','2013-12-11 22:46:09','<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/royalty-free-spaceship-clipart-illustration-1073913.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3774\" alt=\"royalty-free-spaceship-clipart-illustration-1073913\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/royalty-free-spaceship-clipart-illustration-1073913-285x300.jpg\" width=\"476\" height=\"254\" /></a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.illustrationsof.com/1073913-royalty-free-spaceship-clipart-illustration\">http://www.illustrationsof.com/1073913-royalty-free-spaceship-clipart-illustration</a></p>\r\nIn the year 2100, the Earth in no longer habitable to live on after World War 3. Most of the planet has been destroyed by nuclear bombs. The survivors have taken to space to find another planet to inhabit. For the past 100 years the people have been building space stations to live. Now that the final Mother ship has been built and about to deploy into space. I had the responsibility to build a archive on the mother ship to bring items from the our past to place in a museum on the Mother ship. I have chosen to bring virtual 3d version replicas of the Aztec Calendar stone, Mary Wollstonecrafts – Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Fredrick Chopin’s – Nocturne Op9 No.2, and A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles. In each of these exhibits it will also have wall displays and go into great detail about each item and the history of inventors. I believe these items will a great reminder of where we came from and educational for future generations to learn from so we do not repeat the past.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\nOn the second story of the Mother ship is where the museum will be, it will contain a 3d virtual Planetarium that will hold 50 people at a time. The first part of the exhibit will be over the Aztec Calendar Stone. Where the people can learn about the Stone and the civilization that made it and how they used to solar system to guide them. While they learn that the Aztec Calendar Stone was created by a civilization of Mesoamerica called the Aztecs. People believe it was carved in the 15th century around 1479. “It was a massive carving, 3 feet thick, almost 12 feet across, and weighing almost 25 tons. It was carved from basalt – solidified lava.” (Aztec-History.com) “The first calendar of the Aztec people was called the xiuhpohualli, the counting of years. This was a 365 day year, of course very helpful for planning your farming and predicting the weather.” (Aztec-History.com) “Then to bring the year up to 365 days there were 5 \"unlucky\" days added. Each year would also be divided into 4 seasons.” (Aztec-History.com) This stone impecible for its time, it was made to guide and let the people know when the seasons were coming to allow them to prepare their crops, and when to hold their festivles to the gods. The Aztec Calendar stone is very significant to the future generations. If future generations don’t know of how their ancestors lived and learn from the trial and errors that they have made in the past, the future generations are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. This will be a very educational exhibit.\r\n\r\nThen they will enter another 3d Virtual realtiy room that will hold 50 people where they will learn about Fredrick Chopin. Where they can actually see and feel like they are really there listening to him play as if they were actually there in the 1830’s. Here they will learn that The Nocturne Op.9 No.2 by Frederic Chopin pertaining to “Music Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 Chopin Nocturnes, Opus 9 Written 1830-1832 as a dedication to Madame Camille Pleyel” ( Prezi.com) Madame Camille Pleyel shown in the picture above. “Thanks to the more direct contact between the hammer and the string, the simple escapement action, constantly improved by Camille Pleyel and Kalkbrenner, assured a more exact control than the “double escapement” invented and patented (1822) by Erard” (Eigeldinger). Chopin created over 200 works of art in his life time. Chopin’s work especially Nocturne Op.9 No.2 should be preserved for future generations because Chopin is without a doubt, one of a kind, and still to this day his music will move you. Chopin’s work was received as a musical genius of the time.\r\n\r\nNext they would enter a theater where they will watch A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles. Where they learn the history about A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles and that it was released to the public to view in 1958. This was a film that gave viewers a whole new view of what kind of corruption was going on around the border. It was like the elephant in the room that no one wanted to talk about. “Beyond subverting generic conventions and American-held stereotypes, Welles makes another interesting move by imbuing the American characters in Touch of Evil with homoeroticism while concretizing the heterosexuality of Vargas. For an audience of 1958, when the national rhetoric espoused homosexuality as deviant and un-American, Quinlan’s homosexuality can be seen as another mechanism that flips the U.S.-Mexico binary.” (Welles) Future generations should be aware of political people that have been around for a long time; usually they become corrupt, and will try and do anything to get away with dishonorable acts, legal or not, to preserve their status in the population. Also to stand their ground for what they believe in, and not be in fear of their life because of how they are and what they believe.\r\n\r\nThen in the final part of the exhibit they will enter another Virtual reality room where they will sit and watch an animated 3d image of Mary Wollstonecraft reading you her book Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Where they will learn about The Vindication of the rights of woman by Mary Wollstonecraft and was published in 1790. Mary Wollstonecraft’s book was the first of its kind. She was a woman trapped in a controlled man’s world, and denied her potential in society. During this time it was much unheard of a professional woman writer. “The professional woman writer, the independent intellectual woman, was in fact an emerging species and Wollstonecraft played an important role in defining it.”(Woolf, p.102) This is why I strongly believe this book should be saved for preservation. This book is very significant for the future generations. The future generations must learn of the past trials and tribulations of the past. Until all bans on peoples rights and freedoms no matter what your race, gender, age are lifted people will not really be free to live a free life.\r\n\r\nAfter attending these exhibits would set up rooms where the people can go and talk and interact about the individual exhibits. I hope the people will come away with a greater knowledge of the past and the lost world that they came from. Also to take with them the knowledge to not make the same mistakes again. To become a peaceful, and resourceful society in the great solar system.\r\n\r\nWork Cited:\r\nEigeldinger, Jean-Jacques. \"Chopin And Pleyel.\" Clavier Companion 2.3 (2010): 10-12.

As this collective consciousness of billions enter into the adolescence of the species Earth can no longer offer proper nourishment. Life has become too easy and we are now in a period of stagnation and distraction as masters of a tiny brush dot on the vast canvas of the universe. Conflict and suffering have been abolished and people grow bored with idleness. Life has become a pointless matter of easy birth and painless death. With this in mind, we have decided to send colonists far and wide to create a mature sketch of humanity across this virgin cosmos. These colonists have been accustomed to lives of luxury supplemented by easy access to food, shelter, and love. The paucity of resources in space will be discouraging to many, but this challenge is necessary because in the words of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, “<span style=\"color: #000000;\">that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.</span>” <!--more--></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> However in sending this multinational, multi-ethnic, multi-gendered conglomerate into space we must prepare them for the limits of humanity. Thus a museum has been proposed to hopefully capture the breadth of achievements made by artists struggling through the baby-steps of humanity. Because humanity now exists at a point where reality and the ideal are one and the same, this capsule will explore a time before such unity, where reality was difficult and people used their ideals as a form of escape and inspiration. This should free the colonists from their ignorance in matters of suffering, and teach them ways to cope this new life they\'ve chosen. The capsule will be divided into two themes: Optimism and Realism. In the Optimism section will be a recreation of The Forbidden City and recorded performances of Swan Lake. In the Realism section will be a reading room for Don Quixote and a section for Stalker.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> The Forbidden City was such a large architectural project that copying it in it\'s entirety would be impractical. Also, the original materials used would decay without constant maintenance. So instead the facsimile would use resistant modern materials that try to emulate the feel of the original work. The centerpiece throne room with a few administrative buildings, and a garden area with an indoor lake would be made. There will be virtual kiosks that recreate the full experience of the city in each of the period buildings, but the open area would ideally be a place for people to experience and meditate in a real environment. The purpose of this exhibit would be as a space for people to escape their worries about life for a while and feel a sense of calm and serenity. The point of the physical structures would be to recreate the feel of the location without being obtrusive, but the virtual tour would be more elaborate with educational guides on the history and political background of the Forbidden City. Visitors could be given the choice of either a solo tour or connecting with other users to explore the Forbidden City together. AI characters would populate the virtual city so that it\'s not entirely vacant, and people could switch between the Qing and Ming dynasty and see how the culture changed over time. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> A wing would lead from this display to a theater showing hologram projections of Swan Lake. The holograms would be recorded performances from different ballet troupes so that the audience could understand how the creative vision for the piece was not ironclad and open to interpretation. A small workshop would exist to teach the audience about conventions of ballet, and there would be practice sessions where people could audition for live performances. It will be exciting to see how space travel and the backgrounds of performers affect new interpretations of Swan Lake.

This, I believe, will be an effective way to save the lives of people from the upper class of each race as well as restoring these four works for their entertainment.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nOn my museum spaceship that is a replica of Wright’s Guggenheim Museum, I will have three floors with one work per floor. These works will be in chronological order, starting with <i>History of the New World </i>on the bottom. The interior of my spaceship will be an exact replica of the famous museum, with the ramp and the Non-objective paintings that adjourn it. Each area of the museum will have a medium to long introductory sign on the left as people enter that has basic but lengthy information explaining the origins and early history of each work. On the walls of my spaceship, the paintings will be in the exact order as people remember them at the museum on Earth. To get to the museum, these wealthy people will take a recycled spaceship left over from NASA from their living platforms to the museum. At the front desk of the museum, a holographic version of a woman will greet you in every language that there was on Earth. For especially easy convenience, brochures will also be provided in people’s native languages. The entry way will be traditional as everybody will be entering on the first floor. Since all the tours will only allow thirty people at a time, there will be a reception room with coffee for people to drink while they wait for people to go to the next floor. The tour will conclude by having people be beamed from the top of the museum to their homeland platforms.\r\n\r\nThe exhibits that make up all three floors will be directly across from the entryway to the marvelous outer space. On the first floor, visitors’ travels will take them back to the remarkable journey that poor Italian explorer Girolamo Benzoni experienced. The visitors will gain insight to Benzoni’s journey as they will hear narrators read via audio segments of his memoir <i>History of the New World. </i>They will have the ability of experiencing Benzoni’s passionate journey to the New World as recorded in their native languages. During their visit to this exhibit, visitors will have the opportunity to see how Benzoni agreed to embark with foreign explorers and slaveholders on their New World voyage as well as experiencing the guilt he felt when capturing the slaves. Each audio station will be accompanied by a two to three sentence audio caption. Also, I will have Benzoni’s actual engraved woodcuts displayed with captions of what he was trying to engrave. There will also be a giant map with dots and dashes representing the journey that Benzoni embarked on when going to the New World from Europe to North America. My goal for this exhibit will be to give my museum spectators a visual and audio prospective of Girolamo Benzoni’s journey to the Americas from 1541 to 1556. Above all the visual and audio stations, I will have a large display case with pages from <i>History of the New World </i>open for viewing. In the overall exhibit, I hope my spectators gain insight into Benzoni’s remarkable journey over sixteen years along with the travel and hardships\r\n\r\nThe next floor will also consist of Non-objective paintings that will surround the next exhibit, which will be the beloved <i>Messiah </i>by George Fredric Handel. The first storytelling piece of music, or oratorio, will be performed by choirs that will be volunteering in shifts. This exhibit will be held in an auditorium half the size of a university or college lecture hall. This auditorium will have surround sound coming from the back so everybody can hear the singers clearly.   I will also, like the <i>Benzoni </i>exhibit, be providing headphones in many languages of choice that will give an introductory speech before the musical presentation. This method will ensure that people on the ship will have no communication breakdowns while enjoying this exhibit.\r\n\r\nThis speech will include how the oratorio was written in 1741 as a romantic-era composition that was based on the King James Bible written in 1611. Other information that will be provided will entail how this narrative musical piece is written in three parts that will explain the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Also, the recording will explain how Handel had played the <i>Messiah </i>until his death in 1759. What viewers have to look forward to besides the composition is an interactive quiz at the end. This quiz will be entertaining because, in the end, everybody will receive an infinite lifetime certificate as well as free prizes like candy. I can guarantee that everybody will be laughing and learning as they share the joyous offering has to offer as a very entertaining and unforgettable experience.\r\n\r\nUnlike the first two exhibits, I will have the exhibit of Matthew Brady’s Civil War photography be less interactive. This exhibit will consist of Brady’s innovative Civil War photographs, which were the first photographs to portray horrific war images realistically, displayed in a semi-circle. These photos will also give credit to Alexander Gardner, who was the primary photographer of these photos. As an introductory station, I will have a series of letters displayed so spectators can diversify between methods of communication between soldiers and their families. Even before that, I will have an automated sensor that detects when people enter the room. When the sensor goes off, a brief introduction about the history of photography will start playing. What people can look forward to at the end is getting to take photographs of themselves in Union infantry attire. Like on the army bases, there will be a photo booth to take photos at. However, there will not be a photographer because a sensor will be installed at the booth. It is in my best interest to see that people on my museum ship have enjoyable experiences learning about photography, its origins, and how Brady was innovative in this discipline by stirring emotions visually among army families.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright’s design of the Guggenheim Museum is the ideal design of the museum ship because it restores a piece of history as well as providing unique transportation between all floors. The ramp is a great source of transportation between all floors, and is a memorable design that has provided the same concept on planet Earth. Based on its irregular design, I believe that my museum ship will totally be one of the outstanding fleets amongst the spaceships that are out there. I strongly argue for the preservation of this museum design because it is a great layout for the restoration of my three other preserved works. I think my spectators will admire how this museum is organized chronologically. As far as the paintings on the wall, I also plan on putting them in chronological order from the bottom of the ramp to the top. That way, the viewers can learn how Non-objective Art has transformed over time.\r\n\r\nThe mission of my museum will be to make sure that none of Earth’s precious jewels of art will be left behind. I will ensure high secure protection of all my works by installing technologically-advanced chips on the back of every single artifact. Because of these safety regulations, everybody can enjoy the comfort of this museum without having to worry about security threats. Having said, it is my obligation to fulfill a successful and fun-filled learning environment aboard this ship. I hope that this can be achieved by everyone and hope that I will have multiple visitors.

In the year 2097, news reporters have been breaking into shows live recorded on USB drives continuously to inform us that magma and volcanoes will erupt in three years time. In the past few days, volcanoes have been reported to have exploded and wipe out one-third of Asia’s population. In outer space, the sun’s gravitational pull has slowly increased and has increase volcano eruption and to create more volcanoes on Earth. The heat from the sun has also caused all four oceans to evaporate over the three-year span. The primary cause of this evaporation is massive amounts of lava flowing into the majority of rivers, oceans, and seas. On land, numerous earthquakes have damaged buildings, causing debris, and wiping out hundreds of people. On a daily basis, news commentators have wondered and been worried about Earth’s precious works of art, music, and literature. I, being a concerned citizen myself, have a great idea of restoring those prized possessions. Come 2100, I will have completed a spaceship in the shape and design of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum that will restore itself as a work and three other works: Girolamo Benzoni’s <i>History of the New World, </i>Handel’s <i>Messiah, </i>and Matthew Brady’s Civil War photography.

Each side of the octagon would be occupied by a brief visual history of the work selected for preservation, and an exhibit for that work would occupy the following side, with the first side obviously being the entrance/exit. Side 2 would be a visual timeline for <i>King Lear</i>, ultimately ending with the thesis that the play is about the importance of love, particularly familial love. Side 3 would contain a room where clips of the filmed production of the play starring James Earl Jones would play, alongside clips of Akira Kurosawa’s <i>Ran</i>, an adaptation of the play set in feudal Japan. Since there is obviously limited hard drive space on the ship, neither production would have a complete version uploaded to the exhibit. There will also be tablets handed out at the entrance of the exhibit, where the tourist can read digital copies of <i>King Lear</i> in Side 4 with a handful of reading chairs for comfortable reading.\r\n\r\nSide 4 will be a timeline of all the key events in the history of the Palace at Versailles, culminating in the thesis that the palace is a symbol of not only the marvels of architecture that man can achieve, but also for the importance of equality and the distribution of wealth. Side 5 would contain a chamber that extended into the center of the octagon, where 5 tourists at a time could enter the Animus, a virtual reality program where the participant experiences the three key periods of time that the Palace of Versailles existed during (Absolute Monarchy, French Revolution, and modern period) through the eyes of people who lived during the time. Obviously this will all be based on historical writings and inferences, but each simulation will be constructed with the highest level of detail and accuracy possible.\r\n\r\nSide 6 will contain a visual timeline of Mary Shelley’s <i>Frankenstein</i>, leading up to the idea that the novel is about the importance of responsibility and ethics within science and discovery. This, of course, would tie into the current situation where artificial intelligence, a human creation, has forced humanity to flee earth. For the sake of space, Side 6 would also contain an area to download and read <i>Frakenstein </i>on the tablets provided at the beginning of the tour, as well as screens showcasing clips from the James Whale and Kenneth Brannagh film adaptations of the novel, in order to show the various different ways in which the novel has been adapted and interpreted.\r\n\r\nFinally, side 7 would contain a screening room for Abbas Kiarostami’s <i>Close-Up</i>, which would house up to ten people at a time. The outer portion of the exhibit would feature clips from various interviews and retrospectives about the film played on monitors, and the aforementioned tablets would have dowloadable versions of the screenplay. The film represents the importance of cinema, and in a broader sense, art, in our lives, and how at shapes and directs us.\r\n\r\nAfter completing the tour, the visitors have the option of “purchasing” and downloading text versions of <i>King Lear, Frankenstein, </i>and <i>Close-Up </i>onto their own personal computers within their dormitories aboard their respective ships, for future use.\r\n\r\nI believe that these four works exemplify all that the human race could aspire to in the future, particularly if we are driven off-planet by artificial intelligence or other wise.

The history books label it as the War of 42 or the War of the Neutrals. In the year 2XXX the totally Credible North Korean Korean Central News Agency reveled a poll that ranked Canada as number one peaceful country, by exactly 42 votes. Finland, Iceland, and Switzerland disagreed with the results and demanded the votes to be recounted. Canada, New Zealand, and The Vatican City refused. The neutral began forming neutral alliances, the non-neutral realized that this was their opportunity to gain new allies and soon the world was divided. On Day 42, one intercontinental warhead detonated in an unknown location in Canada (because no one cares enough about Canada to find out where), and exactly 41 missiles hit the North Korean Korean Central News agency. 12 hours after the first detonation, the doomsday device activated and the fallout began wasting away at each and every resource. Our leader foresaw the event years before the end and sent a secret code with the Hagia Sofia’s coordinates for all those that could earn their salvation. 24 hours after the doomsday devices detonation, Rapture leaves earth’s orbit towards the unknown.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe Works\r\n\r\nThe Main core of the ship revolves around the Hagia Sophia; additional pods were built around and under the main core. Sadly much of the art from the Hagia Sophia could not be saved as the Museum was plundered when war was at its height. Fountunately our leader was inspired by a curious drug dealing humanitarian professor (that gave him extra credit for all his hard work), to save some of history’s greatest contributions to mankind. As we mark our centennial anniversary of our colony, our leader’s favorite clone will be opening four new pods dedicated to each of the pieces our leader wished to display.\r\n\r\nThe first pod will be dedicated to the play Nut Cracker.\r\n\r\nThe center of pod “Flower” will be a 50 foot decorated “Christmas” Tree that will slowly spin and rock to the rhythm of Waltz of Flowers. In sub pod “Plum Fairy”, a newly built hologram theater that will house a maximum of 1000 visitors. Thanks to the technology everybody keeps on using in used in Assassins Creed, we are able to display three of the greatest performances if the Nutcracker for everyone to enjoy. Children can choose to actually participate in the play during the weekend screening and during Weloveleaderday, as they help??? Defeat the evil Rat king. In sub pod “Reed Flutes” will have the history of the nutcracker and the original reason our leader choose to save the piece.\r\n\r\nThe Nutcracker will help future generations revisit an older time where fairy tales, music, and dance are starting to be seen as one piece. The Nutcracker’s charming ballet soothes the eyes and raises the spirits with its elegant music, stunning choreography that captures the winter holiday spirit flawlessly.\r\n\r\nThe Second Pod will display <i>Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica</i>\r\n\r\nIn the “gravity”, Newton’s work will be located in the center of the pod in an anti-gravity chamber (ironic). The room will have zero gravity with the exceptions of orbs that are representing planets and the center of the pod. Visors will be informed of Newton’s works and how they contribute to society and explain the basic idea of the ride. Visitors are encouraged to jump towards the orbs and sling from one orb to another using nothing but gravitational force and attempt to reach the center room. For the lazier bunch, one can jump directly to the trolley and ride to the center of the room. In The center room many of the theories will be discussed into greater detail, and the uses they have in everyday applications.\r\n\r\nNewton’s Mathematica Principia‘s is one of the most important accomplishments of mankind. It is impossible to ignore Newton’s contributions, since they are imbedded in a wide scope of subjects ranging from economics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, biology, engineering, and even philosophy.\r\n\r\nThe third Pod will be dedicated to <i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</i> is a unique piece that is still relevant in the future. Even though we survived the cold war, many of the dangers present today. Dr. Strangelove is preserved to remind future generation of the dangers and responsibilities we must take to ensure our stability, how easy it is to find ourselves in a lose –lose scenario, how we will respond to such actions, and how easily it can all go wrong.\r\n\r\nThe “war room” pod will be based on Dr. Strangelove’s movie “war room” with the song “When Johnny comes homes come” will be played in the background. The war room will feature the warhead trajectory of the War of Neutrals and of the doomsday’s missiles. Recorded evidence of the weapons detonating, history of the atomic bomb, and a brief intro to nuclear deterrence will also be displayed for all visitors.\r\n\r\nThe sub pod “Hi there” will feature the digitally re-mastered movie in the theater. Each seat will have headphones will have different audio for other languages.\r\n\r\nIn the sub pod “Dear John” will feature the same movie but it will be analyzed scene by scene by staff, and have the information be compared and contracted to important events throughout history.\r\n\r\nIn the third sub pod “Doomsday Device” will a game room that will have massive chess boards that will have specific pieces arranged in certain orders to demonstrate deterrence theory and the history of war. The games will allow the first and only exception to gambling. Players must place a wager and must win two out of three games or collect the most points. The first board (1 point) will have nothing but pawns and knight and a single king. The next board (2 points) will be composed of mostly well placed rooks and highly guarded kings. The final board (3 points) will be composed of nothing but queens and kings. In this game players will not be allowed to you to see half of the player’s board. The first board represents warfare that depended on mostly hand to hand combat that will feature a slow game that will be focused on mostly trading pieces similar to checkers. The second board represents the trench warfare that was used in World War 1, where mostly machine guns and strategic positioning will feature a quick game where pieces will be instantly lost if a position is lost. The final board will represent the cold war, each action must be carefully decided and planed since it could led you to being placed in a check mate. To remind the players of the dangers of nuclear war, players in check will be allowed to move and place the other player’s king in check leading to a double loss and allowing the wager to be kept and allowing the next group of players to collect a larger wager. Players are forced to negotiate and trust each other or risk it all.\r\n\r\nThe Final pod will be dedicated to the sarcophagus lid of Pakal.\r\n\r\nThe final pod will be labeled the “Wonder Room”, will feature a room that will display the single lid of Pakal in the center.  The tour guide will go into further detail and inform why the lid of Pakal is the most important piece of Mayan art, since our leader belived that it captures the essence of the Mayan culture. It tells us the story of one of the greatest Mayan ruler Pakal, the relationship between his people and him, and the Mayan’s view of death. By the end of the “Wonder Room” tour our leader hopes to remind visitors of the rich culture our old home we once had, and where we are now.','Welcome to the World of tomorrow!','','inherit','open','open','','3807-revision-v1','','','2013-12-16 16:43:46','2013-12-16 22:43:46','',3807,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3821',0,'revision','',0),(3822,95,'2013-12-16 18:18:53','2013-12-17 00:18:53','<p style=\"text-align: left\">During  the world grew more populated with new generations and generations of people, the demand for natural resources flew past the amount of what was avalible. It was clear to everyone that humanitie\'s demise was at hand. From there, a new style of living was required if the human race was going to be able to survive.  The world joined together and gathered their greatest technology to sport this new lifestyle, one that would break the norm entirely. Which was the direct connection from the human brain into \"cyber-space\".  A bridge from a person\'s  whole nurological system that gets tied into a high human-akin bipedal robot; one that could withstand the conditions of working in other planets. This idea would require many decades to grow into the living conditions.  This kind of strict branching would mean that you were stripped of many valued freedoms, even to the point where people where assigned jobs. Any sort of job that dealt with other planets would require having to be tied to a machine that sent and recived metadata relevant to the host\'s most minute brain frequencies. And outside jobs were assigned to just about everyone at this time, regardless of gender or age.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\nAs many more decades go by, the idea of \'human\' becomes more and more distant as individuals are \'Mentally Transported\' between bodies and robotic husks used for the jobs at hand. It took much effort, but it was agreed that the importance of humanity must be upheld. Fallowing this movement was a large set of entertainment purposed \'Play grounds\'. This is what was instead of having the host\'s mind beamed into another body, their neurological copycat was placed inside of a computerized server that would simulate early world events, such as the events and items we have today, or even before then. This concept quickly exploded as people were able to experience euphoric events at spontaneous speeds. And against a crowded strict outer space environment, people spent most of their times \'jacked in\' their work station, and this jeopardized a lot of progress for the world powers. Eventually there were chambers specifically made to house the human body as a whole. leaving their mind constantly in the system at all times. They would be able to quickly beam people from their \'lives\' and back into their jobs. Decades will pass and even more efforts to keep as much as their humanity will be brought up.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\nEventually cultural stagnation threatens the system and overall well being of the human race, the virtual world in cyber space will be programmed with many useful facilities and  terminals that would greatly encourage right brain development. The very first of these will be \'Play Grounds\' strictly dedicated to study well preserved ideas and arts. These four special facilities would be open to anyone who desires not to work, but rather would re-create individualism and styles. These key exhibits would be Octavio Paz’ Labyrinth of Solitude, Lumière Brothers\' Demolition of a Wall, Bach\'s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major, And Brunelleschi’s Dome in Florence. These four \'playgrounds\' will spread an idea of knowledge in a handsome range of Literature, philosophy, sculpture, architecture,  music, and even film. Having have been fully preserved in either idea or concept; they made a huge importance in recapturing humanity.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\nThese works would be displayed in their own cyber world in a theme that bests supports the lesson behind it. Since the idea of \'learning\' how to be creative is one of the end goals, the playground apart of them will end up being decently manipulative, based  on the work.

Date is: December 10th, 5,013 CE Earth Calendar.\r\nProtocol: Museum Tour; Time Capsule. Standby…\r\n\r\nWelcome to The Museum’s Time Capsule Chamber. I am Mira, and you are all in for a real treat. The Museum is the site of preservation for all the cultural marvels developed since the beginning of our 100 year voyage, but it wasn’t always this way. In fact, for several years, we didn’t even have art. For thousands of years, our society on Earth was divided between the Military and the Artisans, selected in childhood for the role they would eventually fill. There was no need for any other, for all manual labor and food production was automated, except for Strategy and Culture, and it had been determined that the two shouldn’t mix. On a dark day, we perfected Unmanned Warfare, leading to the Great War. The surface of Earth was destroyed, and the only surviving humans were in Site 1, the vector for a planned colonization route, now the last bastion of Humanity. The Great War left us without any art or artists, and we were forced to begin our grand trek without a culture, sense of identity, or a way to express ourselves, until the day we discovered a small radio signal that led us to a secret satellite, the Time Capsule, a remnant of an age thousands of years ago. Thanks to the finds we keep here in the Time Capsule Chamber, we were able to save ourselves and all of humanity. Come follow me, and I’ll show you some of our greatest achievements.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\nThe Time Capsule Chamber is a circular room and is divided into two primary chambers; the room you are in, which houses the artifacts themselves, and an outer ring that has been quartered into four rooms for the purpose of studying the four artifacts. Yes, everyone, in addition to the Time Capsule Chamber being the central part of The Museum, it is also a school. It used to be that only children had any artistic inclination and so study here was compulsory, but now that the culture has been renewed, anyone can choose whether or not to participate. Even you can choose to after the tour, if you wish!\r\n\r\n\r\nLet us go to the large central column, the Historic Display, where we hold the artifacts. Unfortunately, we only have holograms and digital copies of them, since the originals have long-since been lost, but it’s a miracle that even these are left. They are the Tale of Genji, Madonna with the Long Neck, Chopin’s Black Keys, and Spirited Away. Their data was found in a primitive data storage device known as a ‘U.S.B. port’, but with our superior technology we were able to extract the data and display it with these holograms. The original device and the Time Capsule are held in a vault in the center of the Historic Display next to the data-core, which holds millions of back-up files for the artifacts. As we move around the Chamber, the artifact will be to your left with a small description underneath it with information about the author and the history. The room corresponding to its study will be to your right, which you can observe through the two-way mirror and intercom system we have installed. Please do not disturb the students as we embark on our tour of ancient history. If you wish, after the tour is concluded, you may buy a copy of the artifacts for a mere cost of 200 Credits. Now, off we go!\r\n\r\n\r\nThe first piece we have is the Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu in roughly 1010 CE. This was actually the first recorded novel, and was also the first recorded novel written by a woman. In this story we have the archetypal protagonist and antagonist, along with a story arc and a theme. It is also important as it provides some insight into the society of an ancient society, along with a subtle critique of that society. We want to use this story to encourage freedom of expression as well as drawing influence from the society in one’s work. To your right, there is currently a reading. They are using the format of the story to not only write stories, but also poems and songs.<br><br>\r\nThe next piece is Madonna with the Long Neck, made by Parmigianino in 1535. We did not alter this painting in any way. Prior to holographic technology and even computer technology, there were ‘painters’ who created art with materials and a hard surface. Note the realistic appearance of the woman and baby, and the clear distinction between foreground and background. According to the historic archives, this was indicative of works of art from the Renaissance, as extrapolated from descriptions of lost works of art such as The Last Supper and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Like those paintings, there is much influence of Iconography, where a symbol is inlaid into the painting; here is iconography of the religion Catholicism. However, as you may have noticed, there are several severe distortions, such as the baby being bloated to the size of a small child, the extreme small size of the man in the background, and the long neck and fingers of the woman. According to the Time Capsule, this was done intentionally and was indicative of the Mannerist style, a subset of Renaissance painting styles. In this style, painters would exaggerate features and flatten the overall painting to convey certain emotions. The baby is large because he is seen as important and is the center of attention. The woman’s neck and fingers are long to convey a sense of grace. Now, if you look to your right, you will see that there is a painting session where they are dissecting individual aspects; some are making things based on Realism, some based on Iconography, some based on Mannerism, and some a combination of the three.\r\n\r\n\r\nWe now have arrived at the third artifact in the Chamber. This is a holographic music sheet containing Black Keys, a musical piece by Chopin written between 1829 and 1833. The piece itself was meant to be used to help tutor students, so it has many practical uses for today’s musicians. As it came with a recording of the song, we were able to decipher the music sheet and use it as a template for further written music. Black Keys was a highly innovative piece for its time, as the Time Capsule describes pieces prior to Chopin as being basic and clunky, while this piece allows for a much more flowing style. It was played entirely on Black Keys, hence the name, and so requires much more precise movements as they are higher and thinner. Along with the song was a new style of finger positioning to allow a rolling wrist motion and allow greater finger mobility, allowing the piano player to play much more complex melodies. However, perhaps more significant than the piece itself is the set it once belonged to, the Etudes. They were written during a tumultuous time in Chopin’s life, when his homeland was embroiled in a failed uprising. The Revolutionary Etude was a piece that most highly represented this, and according to the Time Capsule, it was infused with many emotions and represented the Romantic Era, where art and music were more evocative of emotions. In the study room, that’s actually what they’re working on; making a song that is inspired by an emotion.\r\n\r\n\r\nAnd now we are at the last, and perhaps most important artifacts in this room. This is Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. This movie managed to bring many things together. It is packed with symbolism, drew influence from many different cultures, has a strong moral lesson, and is also a strong template for effective storytelling in general. Because it utilizes many elements available in the previous artifacts, study here is typically assigned to older students. From this film, we are able to see some insight into the once-predominant Eastern and Western cultures and how they were able to be brought together to make something beautiful. In the study room, they are currently drafting up characters for a story. They are encouraged to look into their own family and cultural history. A result of this form of teaching has led to a resurgence in many different cultures that were once lost.\r\n\r\n\r\nOne of the most important things brought here is the ability as well to combine these art mediums and lessons together to make something greater. Music can be combined with poems to make lyrical songs, film can be combined with music to evoke more emotions, there can be a wide variety of artistic styles in films, and many more combinations.<br><br>\r\nThat concludes our tour.

The history books label it as the War of 42 or the War of the Neutrals. In the year 2XXX the totally Credible North Korean Korean Central News Agency reveled a poll that ranked Canada as number one peaceful country, by exactly 42 votes. Finland, Iceland, and Switzerland disagreed with the results and demanded the votes to be recounted. Canada, New Zealand, and The Vatican City refused. The neutral began forming neutral alliances, the non-neutral realized that this was their opportunity to gain new allies and soon the world was divided. On Day 42, one intercontinental warhead detonated in an unknown location in Canada (because no one cares enough about Canada to find out where), and exactly 41 missiles hit the North Korean Korean Central News agency. 12 hours after the first detonation, the doomsday device activated and the fallout began wasting away at each and every resource. Our leader foresaw the event years before the end and sent a secret code with the Hagia Sofia’s coordinates for all those that could earn their salvation. 24 hours after the doomsday devices detonation, Rapture leaves earth’s orbit towards the unknown.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe Works\r\n\r\nThe Main core of the ship revolves around the Hagia Sophia; additional pods were built around and under the main core. Sadly much of the art from the Hagia Sophia could not be saved as the Museum was plundered when war was at its height. Fountunately our leader was inspired by a curious drug dealing humanitarian professor (that gave him extra credit for all his hard work), to save some of history’s greatest contributions to mankind. As we mark our centennial anniversary of our colony, our leader’s favorite clone will be opening four new pods dedicated to each of the pieces our leader wished to display.\r\n\r\nThe first pod will be dedicated to the play Nut Cracker.\r\n\r\nThe center of pod “Flower” will be a 50 foot decorated “Christmas” Tree that will slowly spin and rock to the rhythm of Waltz of Flowers. In sub pod “Plum Fairy”, a newly built hologram theater that will house a maximum of 1000 visitors. Thanks to the technology everybody keeps on using in used in Assassins Creed, we are able to display three of the greatest performances if the Nutcracker for everyone to enjoy. Children can choose to actually participate in the play during the weekend screening and during Weloveleaderday, as they help??? Defeat the evil Rat king. In sub pod “Reed Flutes” will have the history of the nutcracker and the original reason our leader choose to save the piece.\r\n\r\nThe Nutcracker will help future generations revisit an older time where fairy tales, music, and dance are starting to be seen as one piece. The Nutcracker’s charming ballet soothes the eyes and raises the spirits with its elegant music, stunning choreography that captures the winter holiday spirit flawlessly.\r\n\r\nThe Second Pod will display <i>Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica</i>\r\n\r\nIn the “gravity”, Newton’s work will be located in the center of the pod in an anti-gravity chamber (ironic). The room will have zero gravity with the exceptions of orbs that are representing planets and the center of the pod. Visors will be informed of Newton’s works and how they contribute to society and explain the basic idea of the ride. Visitors are encouraged to jump towards the orbs and sling from one orb to another using nothing but gravitational force and attempt to reach the center room. For the lazier bunch, one can jump directly to the trolley and ride to the center of the room. In The center room many of the theories will be discussed into greater detail, and the uses they have in everyday applications.\r\n\r\nNewton’s Mathematica Principia‘s is one of the most important accomplishments of mankind. It is impossible to ignore Newton’s contributions, since they are imbedded in a wide scope of subjects ranging from economics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, biology, engineering, and even philosophy.\r\n\r\nThe third Pod will be dedicated to <i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</i> is a unique piece that is still relevant in the future. Even though we survived the cold war, many of the dangers present today. Dr. Strangelove is preserved to remind future generation of the dangers and responsibilities we must take to ensure our stability, how easy it is to find ourselves in a lose –lose scenario, how we will respond to such actions, and how easily it can all go wrong.\r\n\r\nThe “war room” pod will be based on Dr. Strangelove’s movie “war room” with the song “When Johnny comes homes come” will be played in the background. The war room will feature the warhead trajectory of the War of Neutrals and of the doomsday’s missiles. Recorded evidence of the weapons detonating, history of the atomic bomb, and a brief intro to nuclear deterrence will also be displayed for all visitors.\r\n\r\nThe sub pod “Hi there” will feature the digitally re-mastered movie in the theater. Each seat will have headphones will have different audio for other languages.\r\n\r\nIn the sub pod “Dear John” will feature the same movie but it will be analyzed scene by scene by staff, and have the information be compared and contracted to important events throughout history.\r\n\r\nIn the third sub pod “Doomsday Device” will a game room that will have massive chess boards that will have specific pieces arranged in certain orders to demonstrate deterrence theory and the history of war. The games will allow the first and only exception to gambling. Players must place a wager and must win two out of three games or collect the most points. The first board (1 point) will have nothing but pawns and knight and a single king. The next board (2 points) will be composed of mostly well placed rooks and highly guarded kings. The final board (3 points) will be composed of nothing but queens and kings. In this game players will not be allowed to you to see half of the player’s board. The first board represents warfare that depended on mostly hand to hand combat that will feature a slow game that will be focused on mostly trading pieces similar to checkers. The second board represents the trench warfare that was used in World War 1, where mostly machine guns and strategic positioning will feature a quick game where pieces will be instantly lost if a position is lost. The final board will represent the cold war, each action must be carefully decided and planed since it could led you to being placed in a check mate. To remind the players of the dangers of nuclear war, players in check will be allowed to move and place the other player’s king in check leading to a double loss and allowing the wager to be kept and allowing the next group of players to collect a larger wager. Players are forced to negotiate and trust each other or risk it all.\r\n\r\nThe Final pod will be dedicated to the sarcophagus lid of Pakal.\r\n\r\nThe final pod will be labeled the “Wonder Room”, will feature a room that will display the single lid of Pakal in the center.  The tour guide will go into further detail and inform why the lid of Pakal is the most important piece of Mayan art, since our leader belived that it captures the essence of the Mayan culture. It tells us the story of one of the greatest Mayan ruler Pakal, the relationship between his people and him, and the Mayan’s view of death. By the end of the “Wonder Room” tour our leader hopes to remind visitors of the rich culture our old home we once had, and where we are now.','Welcome to the World of tomorrow!','','publish','open','open','','welcome-to-the-world-of-tomorrow','','','2013-12-16 16:43:46','2013-12-16 22:43:46','',0,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3807',0,'post','',8),(3808,89,'2013-12-11 23:13:12','2013-12-12 05:13:12','','rocket','','inherit','open','open','','rocket','','','2013-12-11 23:13:12','2013-12-12 05:13:12','',3807,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/rocket.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3809,89,'2013-12-11 23:19:31','2013-12-12 05:19:31','&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/rocket.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3808\" alt=\"rocket\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/rocket-300x187.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://youtu.be/Fw1XJbV2HK0\">Welcome!</a>\r\n\r\nTurns out the Russian’s did have over 50 secret doomsday devices with Cobalt Thorium G!

Dr. Strangelove is preserved to remind future generation of the dangers and responsibilities we must take to ensure our stability, how easy it is to find ourselves in a lose –lose scenario, how we will respond to such actions, and how easily it can all go wrong.\r\n\r\nThe “war room” pod will be based on Dr. Strangelove’s movie “war room” with the song “When Johnny comes homes come” will be played in the background. The war room will feature the warhead trajectory of the War of Neutrals and of the doomsday’s missiles. Recorded evidence of the weapons detonating, history of the atomic bomb, and a brief intro to nuclear deterrence will also be displayed for all visitors.\r\n\r\nThe sub pod “Hi there” will feature the digitally re-mastered movie in the theater. Each seat will have headphones will have different audio for other languages.\r\n\r\nIn the sub pod “Dear John” will feature the same movie but it will be analyzed scene by scene by staff, and have the information be compared and contracted to important events throughout history.\r\n\r\nIn the third sub pod “Doomsday Device” will a game room that will have massive chess boards that will have specific pieces arranged in certain orders to demonstrate deterrence theory and the history of war. The games will allow the first and only exception to gambling. Players must place a wager and must win two out of three games or collect the most points. The first board (1 point) will have nothing but pawns and knight and a single king. The next board (2 points) will be composed of mostly well placed rooks and highly guarded kings. The final board (3 points) will be composed of nothing but queens and kings. In this game players will not be allowed to you to see half of the player’s board. The first board represents warfare that depended on mostly hand to hand combat that will feature a slow game that will be focused on mostly trading pieces similar to checkers. The second board represents the trench warfare that was used in World War 1, where mostly machine guns and strategic positioning will feature a quick game where pieces will be instantly lost if a position is lost. The final board will represent the cold war, each action must be carefully decided and planed since it could led you to being placed in a check mate. To remind the players of the dangers of nuclear war, players in check will be allowed to move and place the other player’s king in check leading to a double loss and allowing the wager to be kept and allowing the next group of players to collect a larger wager. Players are forced to negotiate and trust each other or risk it all.\r\n\r\nThe Final pod will be dedicated to the sarcophagus lid of Pakal.\r\n\r\nThe final pod will be labeled the “Wonder Room”, will feature a room that will display the single lid of Pakal in the center.  The tour guide will go into further detail and inform why the lid of Pakal is the most important piece of Mayan art, since our leader belived that it captures the essence of the Mayan culture. It tells us the story of one of the greatest Mayan ruler Pakal, the relationship between his people and him, and the Mayan’s view of death. By the end of the “Wonder Room” tour our leader hopes to remind visitors of the rich culture our old home we once had, and where we are now.','Welcome to the World of tomorrow!','','inherit','open','open','','3807-revision-v1','','','2013-12-11 23:19:31','2013-12-12 05:19:31','',3807,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3809',0,'revision','',0),(3810,83,'2013-12-11 23:26:01','2013-12-12 05:26:01','[caption id=\"attachment_3811\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/earth.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-3811\" alt=\"http://zevenstorms.deviantart.com/art/earth-destruction-86143067\" src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/earth-300x212.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" /></a> http://zevenstorms.deviantart.com/art/earth-destruction-86143067[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe time has finally come, it is time to evacuate planet earth. For over 500 years our planet\'s best scientist and geologists have worked secretly preparing and getting everything ready for the big move to our neighboring planet. Planet Earth has become so contaminated with toxins and poisons that it is no longer a safe place for humans to live in. There have been many attempts to save the planet but society does not want to believe what they cannot physically see therefore we have damaged our planet and have to leave Earth and start over. “The seas and oceans are being poisoned by chemical products, oils, industrial and human waste. On land, especially in the industrial countries where most waste is actually \"manufactured\", there is increasingly little room to bury it and even when buried, noxious elements leach out and destroy the health of the area.” (Environmental Damage)<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAmong the scientist and engineers that have studied surrounding planets finding the best one to accommodate our human bodies, I was appointed to find the most important works of history that will travel with us. We want our future generations to know past works of art and how their inventions, art, and music shaped our world into what it came to be. The four works I am responsible for, Laura Cereta’s Defense of the Liberal Instruction of Women, Francois Boucher’s “Venus Consoling Love, Lumiere Brother’s “Break at the Lumiere Factory, and lastly, Leonard Bernstein’s “A West Side Story”. Each of these works brought something different to our world and should be preserved in any way that we can.\r\n\r\nNow first thing I have to decide is what type of space am I going to hold these works in? I choose a spaceship that is 100 meters long. This will ensure that we are able to hold the works of art as well as the experts that will be in charge of teaching our people on the history of these priceless works. There will be different floors similar to a how a ship is constructed. There will be the corridors and the floor for dining and the works will be hidden away in the bottom locked away and only the person with the highest security clearance will have access to the room. In this bottom floor there will be 4 rooms. Each room having a different work.\r\n\r\nThe first room names the Cereta room will have all the letters ever published and unpublished that we were able to collect over the years that we knew we were preparing for this big move. Laura Cereta is important because she brings the strong feminism and strong will. She stood for something she believed in and represents intelligent women all over the world. Woman should read her work and history and be inspired to never give up on your dreams.\r\n\r\nThe second room “Room of Love” contains the original painting of Venus Consoling Love locked in a glass bullet proof frame bolted into the wall with a copy enlarged on the opposite side and all the history of Francois Boucher and his style of art and his upbringing. This work is important because it shows a new style of art. This nude art was not accepted in the best way but Boucher did not give up, he continued to paint in this new style and for that it should preserved.\r\n\r\nThe third room of the Lumiere brothers will be a theatre replaying the many short videos that the brothers created and the reactions and articles from that time so that people can get an idea of how this work was accepted. This was the beginning of cinema and for that reason alone it should be preserved, This is a story about two brothers who put their heads together and perfected an idea that someone previous had dismissed and didn\'t think would ever work out.\r\n\r\nThe last room will display Bernstein\'s West Side Story and it will have the history and dialogue of the musical and during the time that people are coming through to see these works, there will be actors playing out the play. This musical is important and should be preserved because of its style of music. Bernstein was not very popular at the time that this came out and he brought this new idea of different styles of music and he ran with it and created some of the best sounds ever made.\r\n\r\nWhen this space-ship lands on the new planet the people will be moved to a tent for decontamination. They will be stripped of clothes and examined for any cuts, bruises or defects they will then be given new attire that is safe for both human body and the new environment. After this process the people will be briefed on what has happened and what is to come. There is no smoking, littering, or any thing that could harm the planet. This is our new home and we must cherish and take care of it because we don’t know if we will get another opportunity to make this big move again. The people will be told that this new environment is going to be nothing but positive and at the beginning it may seem as though everyone is being controlled it is only in the best interest.\r\n\r\nAfter the briefing the people will be shown to their small homes and told that there will be different schools to sign up for to learn about the history of our previous planet that we may have missed during our stay. These classes will be divided into language. Once these classes are over there will be a new wave of people coming in from Earth and these people will be in charge of briefing them on the plans of the planet. This will continue for five years until everyone is brought over and then the new planet will be known as the peace planet. There will be no war or poverty just simplicity and happiness. Everyone will work together to make food and provide and there will be no greed or violence.\r\n\r\nWork Cited\r\n“Environmental Damage” http://jahtruth.net/envird.htm','Final Project','','publish','open','open','','final-project-7','','','2013-12-11 23:45:31','2013-12-12 05:45:31','',0,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3810',0,'post','',10),(3811,83,'2013-12-11 23:23:54','2013-12-12 05:23:54','','earth','http://zevenstorms.deviantart.com/art/earth-destruction-86143067','inherit','open','open','','earth','','','2013-12-11 23:23:54','2013-12-12 05:23:54','',3810,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/earth.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3812,83,'2013-12-11 23:24:12','2013-12-12 05:24:12','   [caption id=\"attachment_3811\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/earth.jpg\"><img src=\"http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/earth-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"http://zevenstorms.deviantart.com/art/earth-destruction-86143067\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3811\" /></a> http://zevenstorms.deviantart.com/art/earth-destruction-86143067[/caption]The time has finally come, it is time to evacuate planet earth.

Date is: December 10th, 5,013 CE Earth Calendar.\nProtocol: Museum Tour; Time Capsule. Standby…\n\nWelcome to The Museum’s Time Capsule Chamber. I am Mira, and you are all in for a real treat. The Museum is the site of preservation for all the cultural marvels developed since the beginning of our 100 year voyage, but it wasn’t always this way. In fact, for several years, we didn’t even have art. For thousands of years, our society on Earth was divided between the Military and the Artisans, selected in childhood for the role they would eventually fill. There was no need for any other, for all manual labor and food production was automated, except for Strategy and Culture, and it had been determined that the two shouldn’t mix. On a dark day, we perfected Unmanned Warfare, leading to the Great War. The surface of Earth was destroyed, and the only surviving humans were in Site 1, the vector for a planned colonization route, now the last bastion of Humanity. The Great War left us without any art or artists, and we were forced to begin our grand trek without a culture, sense of identity, or a way to express ourselves, until the day we discovered a small radio signal that led us to a secret satellite, the Time Capsule, a remnant of an age thousands of years ago. Thanks to the finds we keep here in the Time Capsule Chamber, we were able to save ourselves and all of humanity. Come follow me, and I’ll show you some of our greatest achievements.\n\n<!--more-->\nThe Time Capsule Chamber is a circular room and is divided into two primary chambers; the room you are in, which houses the artifacts themselves, and an outer ring that has been quartered into four rooms for the purpose of studying the four artifacts. Yes, everyone, in addition to the Time Capsule Chamber being the central part of The Museum, it is also a school. It used to be that only children had any artistic inclination and so study here was compulsory, but now that the culture has been renewed, anyone can choose whether or not to participate. Even you can choose to after the tour, if you wish!\n\n\nLet us go to the large central column, the Historic Display, where we hold the artifacts. Unfortunately, we only have holograms and digital copies of them, since the originals have long-since been lost, but it’s a miracle that even these are left. They are the Tale of Genji, Madonna with the Long Neck, Chopin’s Black Keys, and Spirited Away. Their data was found in a primitive data storage device known as a ‘U.S.B. port’, but with our superior technology we were able to extract the data and display it with these holograms. The original device and the Time Capsule are held in a vault in the center of the Historic Display next to the data-core, which holds millions of back-up files for the artifacts. As we move around the Chamber, the artifact will be to your left with a small description underneath it with information about the author and the history. The room corresponding to its study will be to your right, which you can observe through the two-way mirror and intercom system we have installed. Please do not disturb the students as we embark on our tour of ancient history. If you wish, after the tour is concluded, you may buy a copy of the artifacts for a mere cost of 200 Credits. Now, off we go!\n\n\nThe first piece we have is the Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu in roughly 1010 CE. This was actually the first recorded novel, and was also the first recorded novel written by a woman. In this story we have the archetypal protagonist and antagonist, along with a story arc and a theme. It is also important as it provides some insight into the society of an ancient society, along with a subtle critique of that society. We want to use this story to encourage freedom of expression as well as drawing influence from the society in one’s work. To your right, there is currently a reading. They are using the format of the story to not only write stories, but also poems and songs.\nThe next piece is Madonna with the Long Neck, made by Parmigianino in 1535. We did not alter this painting in any way. Prior to holographic technology and even computer technology, there were ‘painters’ who created art with materials and a hard surface. Note the realistic appearance of the woman and baby, and the clear distinction between foreground and background. According to the historic archives, this was indicative of works of art from the Renaissance, as extrapolated from descriptions of lost works of art such as The Last Supper and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Like those paintings, there is much influence of Iconography, where a symbol is inlaid into the painting; here is iconography of the religion Catholicism. However, as you may have noticed, there are several severe distortions, such as the baby being bloated to the size of a small child, the extreme small size of the man in the background, and the long neck and fingers of the woman. According to the Time Capsule, this was done intentionally and was indicative of the Mannerist style, a subset of Renaissance painting styles. In this style, painters would exaggerate features and flatten the overall painting to convey certain emotions. The baby is large because he is seen as important and is the center of attention. The woman’s neck and fingers are long to convey a sense of grace. Now, if you look to your right, you will see that there is a painting session where they are dissecting individual aspects; some are making things based on Realism, some based on Iconography, some based on Mannerism, and some a combination of the three.\n\n\nWe now have arrived at the third artifact in the Chamber. This is a holographic music sheet containing Black Keys, a musical piece by Chopin written between 1829 and 1833. The piece itself was meant to be used to help tutor students, so it has many practical uses for today’s musicians. As it came with a recording of the song, we were able to decipher the music sheet and use it as a template for further written music. Black Keys was a highly innovative piece for its time, as the Time Capsule describes pieces prior to Chopin as being basic and clunky, while this piece allows for a much more flowing style. It was played entirely on Black Keys, hence the name, and so requires much more precise movements as they are higher and thinner. Along with the song was a new style of finger positioning to allow a rolling wrist motion and allow greater finger mobility, allowing the piano player to play much more complex melodies. However, perhaps more significant than the piece itself is the set it once belonged to, the Etudes. They were written during a tumultuous time in Chopin’s life, when his homeland was embroiled in a failed uprising. The Revolutionary Etude was a piece that most highly represented this, and according to the Time Capsule, it was infused with many emotions and represented the Romantic Era, where art and music were more evocative of emotions. In the study room, that’s actually what they’re working on; making a song that is inspired by an emotion.\n\n\nAnd now we are at the last, and perhaps most important artifacts in this room. This is Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. This movie managed to bring many things together. It is packed with symbolism, drew influence from many different cultures, has a strong moral lesson, and is also a strong template for effective storytelling in general. Because it utilizes many elements available in the previous artifacts, study here is typically assigned to older students. From this film, we are able to see some insight into the once-predominant Eastern and Western cultures and how they were able to be brought together to make something beautiful. In the study room, they are currently drafting up characters for a story. They are encouraged to look into their own family and cultural history. A result of this form of teaching has led to a resurgence in many different cultures that were once lost.\n\n\nOne of the most important things brought here is the ability as well to combine these art mediums and lessons together to make something greater. Music can be combined with poems to make lyrical songs, film can be combined with music to evoke more emotions, there can be a wide variety of artistic styles in films, and many more combinations.\nThat concludes our tour. Thank you for your patronage, and I hope you have learned something today and obtained a greater appreciation for art and culture.','JacobKeasbey-FP \"The Time Capsule\"','','inherit','open','open','','3805-autosave-v1','','','2013-12-11 23:24:27','2013-12-12 05:24:27','',3805,'http://jeanatacc.com/2011/?p=3813',0,'revision','',0),
