Video
With it being December, I decided to take the long standing tradition of Christmas and put a spin on it. The songs and ideas surrounding Christmas already have a somewhat creepy element about them, so I focused on that and made a "Creepy Christmas"
The video begins innocently; walking around, listening to music and looking at lights. But as the video progresses, the more weird parts become clear and things don't quite seem to be so innocent anymore. Lastly, it's just straight up creepy at the end.
I had a lot of fun making this video, and hope you all enjoy!

Music
Electronic -
Artist(s): Angelika Vee, Alex Leon
Song: All Nighter
This song really stood out to me for electronic style for several reasons. First of all, I am a big fan of Angelika Vee, a youtube performer, and not just for her collaborations. She is a phenomenal singer who sings several genres. In this specific case, Alex Leon works with Vee to create a new sound, which results in the new Electronic style. The technology that Leon uses in tandem with Vee's voice is what allowed for this to occur. For example, all of the instruments, percussion, and effects.
House -
Artist(s): Virtual Riot, Madi
Song: Flutter
Virtual Riot is a well known house music producer, and has created a plethora of work that can be considered phenomenal. In this song, he works with a singer Madi, using synthetic instruments and other technological tools to create the song.
Virtual
Artist(s): Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len
Song: Bouken No Sho Was Deleted
Rin and Len Kagamine are vocaloids like Hatsune Miku, and act as a specific brand of vocaloid music due to their unique coding and sound. They are completely virtual and have acquired a large fan base just like Hatsune Miku.
Nineties
Artist(s): Destiny's Child
Song: Girl
Destiny's Child was a female vocal group that rose to fame during the 90's. Personally, my siblings and I grew up singing all of their songs, and they produced widely successful tracks. As far as technology, they really thrived with pop and soulful genres, which usually used a wide array of instruments and many of their songs had a specific beat depending on the mood intended. Harmonies were also highly incorporated in their songs.
Drum and Bass
Artist(s): Ravel Nightstar
Song: The Drums and Bass of Flower Bless
While not directly one of the listed genres, Drum and Bass is a recent movement that features tracks with a strong and fast percussive beat. Many times, the songs are considered to he "hype" songs, meaning they're supposed to get listeners motivated and fired up. Ravel Nightstar uses a wide variety of technological tools in this piece to create a song that inspires emotions of encouragement and ferocity.

Performance Art
Here it is! The bane of my existence. My performance art was me going around to random people around campus and asking them to watch a video performance that I made.
Afterwards I had them participate in creating my poster for listing positives about ourselves as opposed to only focusing on negatives.

Xerox Copy Project
Here is a pic of my Xerox Machine Project.
I copied my hand, using the fingers as the branches of a tree. In a way, this can symbolize how many different aspects of life stem from what we do ourselves. Another message to be taken is that there are so many different paths all branching out from the same beginning, and through the acts that we carry out, we find ourselves who we are today.
I added more fingies!

30x30 Grid Art
Originally, I planned on making a puzzle, but with the announcement that the grid would need to be 30x30 units, I decided to do a pixel art. This specific picture is one that my siblings and I used to draw when I was really young, so I re-imagined it as a pixel art :D

Flip Book Shenanigans
Hey all
Here is my Flip Book Animation. May not look like much, but believe me when I say that I put everything I had into getting it finished XD
Link
This is a representation and meaning of my tattoo. The cherry blossom branch symbolizes new beginnings, and the three words are the three characteristics that I try to express towards others. These all mean a lot to me and have deeply impacted my life, so I figured I would share it through this project :)
