ABOUT

HELLO, MY NAME IS TONY BRAVO. I’M ORIGINALLY FROM NEW YORK, BUT CURRENTLY I AM STUDYING ‘DIGITAL MEDIA’  AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ATHENS. THIS FALL SEMESTER 07′ I DECIDED TO TAKE AN INTERNET ART CLASS THAT A PROFESSOR BY THE NAME OF MARK CALLAHAN WAS RUNNING, AND I AM GLAD I DID. ( SINCE I HAD TAKEN MARK BEFORE, AND WAS IMPRESSED BY HIS THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE AND HIS EXPERIENCE @ CRANBROOK IN RHODE ISLAND –> I FELT THAT I COULD LEARN A LOT IN HIS CLASS.) ANYWAYS, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT… I DECIDED TO CREATE “THE DAILY DOODLE” FOR HIS CLASS BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO LEARN CSS AND WORK ON MY DESIGN SKILLS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IN RELATION TO ‘NET-ART’, I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE FUN TO CREATE A SITE THAT WOULD GIVE THE GENERAL PUBLIC THE ABILITY TO VIEW MY ‘DAILY DOODLES’ AND CRITIQUE THEM SIMILAR TO THE WAY ART SCHOOL CRITIQUES ARE OFTEN DONE. I FELT THAT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO TEST THE LIMITS, AND MAKE THE ART EXPERIENCE MORE HYBRID. GENERALLY 2D FORMS OF ART ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE DIGITAL WORKS OF ART. HOWEVER, I FEEL THE “DAILY DOODLE” IS A ‘DIGITAL FORUM FOR ARTISTS’ THAT COMMEMORATES MY LOVE OF DRAWING DOODLES. AND SO, IT IS THAT CONCEPT WHICH HAS DRIVEN ME TO PURSUE THE ‘DAILY DOODLE’. ( AND ALTHOUGH, IN IT’S INCEPTION I WANTED “THE DAILY DOODLE” TO BE A USER BASED ‘ARTIST COMMUNITY’ WHERE ANY ARTIST COULD CREATE DAILY DOODLES AND GET CRITIQUED BY OTHER ARTISTS.) I AM STILL HAPPY WITH WHAT I HAVE DONE. *** WHO KNOWS MAYBE IN THE FUTURE THERE WILL BE A “DAILY DOODLE COMMUNITY” ***. //// OH YEAH!! ////. SO ANYWAYS, IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COLLABORATE WITH ME ON THIS CONCEPT OR SOMETHING ELSE *PLEASE COMMENT IN THE BOX BELOW… I LOOK FORWARD TO READING YOUR FEEDBACK….
