COP NOTES - Holly Hendon, Fatima Al Qadiri, DEAN!


Fatima Al Qadiri - D-Medley

Personally I'm not too into the techno-electronic music, however I thought that her music videos were very interesting!





Holly Hendon - Chorus/Home (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHujh3yA3BE || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_3mCDJ_iWc)

  • There is something about the poorly made, glitchy and strange 3D CGI aesthetics. I feel that they have their own charm about it. They aren't visually appealing, though looking at these videos, it slightly scares me how normal it seems.
  • Perhaps it might be because I grew up, exposed to all these sort of digital vibes and technology (emoticons, symbols etc). Also from the COP lectures on Modernism and Post-modernism, there is some sense and connection to the current age and time. We live in a world filled with convenience, technology, mass-production, consumerism etc. 





Dean - Put my hands on you

  • He is a Korean R&B musician, however what attracts me to his work (aside from his music) are his music videos. His music videos has a certain minimal aesthetic to it. He either works around either really indie/vintage or futuristic themes. The cinematography is usually very faded and the colours are quite monotonous or within close hues. 
  • Not only are these things online, though I could see it everywhere. We live in an era where we are constantly bombarded with information through magazines, television, billboards (imagine Times Square). Though generally I feel that this idea of 'aesthetics' and 'digital era' is quite interesting as it seems to be spreading like a wildfire online.
