Heba Amin-Identity and Urban Infrastructure
This, for me, is still very much a thought, a part of a larger concept to be explored. I am interested in failed, abandoned spaces and how they affect human emotion and behavior. The idea with this exploration is to insert the viewer into the imagery as a way to contemplate the issues presented. I found interesting the comments on loneliness and the lack of identity of the mass/crowd. From here I want to alter the timeline of some of the silhouettes where some freeze in time while others delay or have altered states of time. I also want to explore the idea of surveillance, and the suggestion of the zoomed panning of the original picture is one that I find extremely interesting. I will post a new video after I alter some of those things.

Heba Amin: The Most EVIL Person in the WORLD
Bush's state of the union address in 2002 which coined the ridiculous phrase "axis of evil" opened endless opportunities for art-making. The phrase resurfaced for me with the latest outpour of idiotic headlines regarding Ahmadinejad's US visit:
"EVIL HAS LANDED"......
I was interested in creating a composite of the leaders of the six evil countries (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Cuba, North Korea) to create the ultimate EVIL! My first approach was to extract a group of pixels from each image (using the "drunk" object so that they are grouped together), output them in a new matrix, and create a new image consisting of pixels from all six original images. The end result is an abstract, unrecognizable face.
The second approach was to extract portions of each of the six original matrices, output them as matrix layers in the new matrix. The "srcdimstart" object and the "srcdimend" object were used to specify the coordinates of the matrix from the original image, and the "dstdimstart" and "dstdimend" to specify the location in the new matrix. The end result is a collage made up of squares of the different parts of the six EVIL leaders. This approach creates a more recognizable face than the first. I also incorporated the option to view the layering collage in color or black and white, as well as the option for the user to freeze the frame and/or delete the image to start over, allowing the user to participate in the making of the new faces.
(doesn't this oddly look like Bush?)
