About me

Hi everyone! My name is Lucy Jones and I'm a junior majoring in art history with a focus on museum studies and minoring in French. This term I'm doing an academic internship for credit and working as a gallery guard at the wriston art galleries on campus and working at the circulation desk at the Mudd library. My classes are: this new media art class, intro to the art museum, and my capstone course. I'm doing my capstone early so I can study abroad in Paris, France for the academic year. In my free time I love to take walks, listen to music, and talk/hang out with my friends. I don't consider myself an artist, but I love learning about how and why artists create art. Over the course of this class I hope to have fun creating things and become more tech-savvy. A McLuhan quote that intrigues me is " All media are extensions of some human faculty- psychic or physical." (McLuhan, 26) Over the next couple pages he includes blown up images of body parts like toes,...

Soundscape Blog Post

Hi everyone! Unfortunately, I am sick right now so I won't be in class to present my soundscape, but I can post and talk about it here. Here's the link Lucy Jones audio | Listen on audio.com If it doesn't work let me know! Revised link: https://audio.com/lucy-jones-4/audio/voicemail-81b576d9-6f78-5fc1-8c40-e223a729203e-1 The McLuhan quote I thought of when creating this is on page 118 where he writes: ""Speak that I may see you" Electronically recorded voiceprints, like fingerprints, are now being accepted as evidence by some courts. Five people were asked to say "you". One was asked to repeat it. Which two voiceprints were made by the same speaker?" In thinking of everyday and everything we do as music; I downloaded the last voicemail I got from my grandfather before he passed away. It'll be five years ago this Summer. Hearing his voice again is strange after helping my mom cancel his subscriptions and call everyone saved in his blac...

Flickr Project Reflection

Hi everyone! Honestly, I really procrastinated doing this project. Doing the readings was fun for me, but actually taking the photos felt daunting. I kept prioritizing other things, and it made me anxious about if I was going to finish the project on time. However inefficient, I found inspiration in that process of procrastination. What McLuhan was saying on page 92 about environment and separation, antisocial behavior, visual rhyming, and amateurism popped into my head while I was on a walk around midnight last night. I had spent an hour or two with people pre-gaming and going bar hopping, but I left early because I felt childish for being sober. Bless their hearts they were very kind and didn't pressure me at all! I just spent my time looking around and feeling like by not drinking I was engaged in some sort of antisocial behavior. Not that sobriety is anything special; I just felt like every place we went had a visual rhyme to them, and in those environments, I was out of place...
