Art and Identity Entry September 13/10

The journal aspect of my Fine 290 course will be presented in a BLOG format. I have not used this blog since my trip to Berlin, and it is the perfect way to touch on important notes/ideas discussed throughout this course.

DAY ONE-Intro to our professor Bojana Videkanic

• The issue of identity would not exist without the so-called Post modern age
• Identity can be seen as an interface
• each person can be formed or institutionalized
• does the preface "ART" excuse people from behaviours/morals

Lesson from First Lecture
