In the article "Black and Blue: American Artist Is Redefining How We Think About Race in the Digital Age" by Alex Greenburger. the author explores the ways in which art is evolving with modern technology and emerging political and social issues.

I think this relates to our franken animal assignment in which we explored some parts of our identity with the goal of infusing "us" into our art. I think it is also very powerful for artists to use their work to make a statement that goes towards something bigger than themselves

(be as specific as possible, ie. swimming pools in Philadelphia) - hair accessories - neutral / fits a minimalist aesthetic - worn in hair - can be patterned - examples of hair accessories I own or wear - 10-20 examples How many? (example 10… less is more because you will be processing each image you collect!) Where to source ( online - google maps, instagram)?
