Critical Themes

A Music Avant-Garde is a concept in media where the audience is active listening in an interpretive experience of experimental music. The picture above makes one feel attentive, drawn to the screen for what is next to come out of the bagpipes, and feeling the sound vibrations through the image.

Modularity is the ability of media to be broken and reassembled in a variety of ways. In this image, the background’s darkness supports the subjects above. The composition is centered on the subjects, glimmering brightly within the night. Several flickers of light surround the image as it creates a thematic frame to complement the photo.

Form Follows Function is the notion that any matter should be constructed or utilized for its intended purpose. In this photo, it appears that the house was meant to be painted to match the sunset, feeling like it was the contractor’s choice to blend in the art with a sunset in Boulder, Colorado.
