Week 9: Exploration The first image shows pictures of the baby kookaburra which I wouldn’t be able to capture myself. I may use the images from the video for my video to show the beginning. http://www.wiresnr.org/kookaburra.html The second video is from YouTube. I would love to include the Australian song into my video because I remember having to learn the song in primary school and the image used in the following video was cartoon which is what I would like to create. Something like a cartoon base imagination mixed with the real self-taken images. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p2VitpGRalw The third video image has the kookaburra laugh audio. When I sit in my No-Place the first thing I hear before noticing the bird is the kookaburra laugh. It’s so loud and can be annoying when you’re trying to get a peaceful time. But the laugh is what people hear and notice than they would look up at the trees to try and spot the kookaburra. http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/laughing-kookaburra

Week 9 was the most enjoyable week for me because I enjoy looking at artwork and thinking “this can’t be a painted or create by a human being”. The historical artwork that I’ve posted for week 9 is beyond just a pretty picture. The artwork is called Ashurbanipal lion hunting which can be found at the British museum but its origin is from the Northern Iraq (Babylon) where I come from. Looking at the history behind it and the fine details left me wanting to go to the UK and see it. The artwork itself include a lion which is “Hosting the Non-Human”. Week 9 has allowed me to use my imagination and creativity to push boundaries and my thinking for my final assignment.

Other species within the environment such as animals and insect contribute to the human form of expression through art and it allows humans to experience different perception by pushing boundaries. Including animals in the art is the environment pushes boundaries with exploration of the living. The more the artist engages with the “others” the other relating an artwork can be.
