Episode 4

-Krukowski begins by discussing the issue of music file sharing. What is your opinion of this issue? Should music be freely available or should one have to pay? 

In my opinion music shouldn’t be freely available because to produce music needs lot of time and cost money. Music has become a business where some people make their living. Even paying  a Quarter to play a music from machine is understandible because that machine produce a source of income to the owner.  Furthermore artist has spent huge amount of money to produce music and it required labor such as music editor, videographer and many more. For an artist produce music has been there job and every job is required to pay.

Sound has been a big part of my life for relaxation, enjoyment and avoid the noise from surrounding. One of the example i posted above the sound of rain drizzle, I played this sound every night before I go to bed. Not just this sound gives me relaxation and it also nostalgic. I was born in Dharamshala , India. Over there it always rain, Since i was little child I used to fall sleep through sound of rain and still I need that sound because I’m used to it and can’t fall sleep  without it. therefore this sound carry a heavy weight in my life.

Furthermore sound also helps me avoid noise from my neighbor. Every weekend my neighbor had party and they blast music from early morning to night dark which is frustrating because those are my only  day off. The loud music annoys me but it could be joyful to some. What i meant to say is sound could be pleasant or noise, it depends to the listener.

-What is Krukowski’s main point about how we experience time in the “real” world versus are experiences with “digital” time? Why are these differences significant?      Krukowski’s describe the real world as a live time and digital time as a machine time.

1. Berger mention “Naked is the oneself but nude is seen by others and yet not recognized by oneself”because of others individual interest and desire. These two are  significant difference, one is treating women an object and not letting exercise their freedom, on the other hand nakedness is done by there own wish, i don’t see any issue. people  have right to to do anything with there own body. nakedness  could  could be helpful   for study. nakedness have shown in my  anatomy subject for more deep understanding of human reproductive system or study human body in general.
2. The western work of art depicted and defined inequality between men and women, men as superior and dominate over women ,treating women as an object for painter art to satisfy the mens desire. However the present society have completely change. women and men are equivalent in terms of power and freedom. women can denied if something they don’t getting pleasure doing. there is still nudity this days but the difference is those nudity have posted by their own wish for advertisement of brands or to gain popularity such as models.
3. The significance of mirror in painting is a symbol of vanity. women look at mirror to picture herself how the mens looked at her. first thing she saw her as sight, sight for men. The painting of female to painter own pleasure. Nakedness have become a uniform for women means nakedness has consider same as wearing clothes. Berger discuss  some painting of men and women where men look at women eyes as true lover but the women eye had looked  to the spectator meaning the painting is for mens spectator pleasure. The number of female nude painting is enormous in Europe but i believe that number had decrease this days.

The art above called  “comedian” made by artist Maurizio Catalan has become one of most debatable art last year. The art is literally just a real banana which is duct tape to the white plain wall. The art gained  popularity   not because the meaning or history behind it. The popularity of this art gain because the art was sold for $120,000. This topic had become headline for many news channel and was trending in all over social media. Some people find it funny and some have inspired by the art.  The amount that art was sell for many people have get fascinated about the art and started analyzing and finding meaning behind this art.   The huge success  of this art express the people enthusiastic  over art.  most of People have made a replica of the art and hang to their wall as decoration.

1. People sees a painting and tents the meaning of painting through habits and conventions. Our generation will look at painting as different way as compare to people form 19th century because our way of living has drastic change. People look at the painting a see meaning through their own experience. Therefore is not natural.
2. The camera has changed our by giving more closer look of painting and showing a different perspective. Through the device the painting come to us rather than we physically present where the painting is , Berger mentioned “seeing the painting as physically present will make feel the authenticity of the painting and could show you the real meaning. As well as seeing a painting in screen can deceive the meaning of the painting actual meaning. Berger says “stillness and silence  of painting can be striking” means painting can’t speak but it will make you thinking and start questioning yourself standing at one place.
3. When he describe painting a “form of information” means painting could be source of information. Later he mention “picture were like words rather than holy relic ” after he shows the painting of artist Caravaggio to the group of children who doesn’t know anything about the artist  was able to know the sexuality of artist by looking at the picture and taking out the detail of image comparing to their own experience or their  knowledge. Reproduction of art had made accessibly to many people. Through this art has loss a real value of art. People had art hanging in wall and comparing themself and others to the art.
