First Post

My full name is Matthew Scott Tenenbaum and I am in my senior year of college as a new media production major. I was born on August 10th 1997. I am from Long Island New York and work as a personal trainer/ audio engineer/recording artist. I have done part time work for Atlantic records as an A&R. I belong to Theta Chi Fraternity at UT and came here mostly because of the warm weather. I enjoy helping others and always willing to learn/try new things. I have been in many situations from which I have gained experience that has helped me out a great deal in life. I am a very hard worker and learn quickly when given assistance. As I continue my journey towards graduating from the University of Tampa I hope to keep achieving the goals I set for myself. I will always strive to be the best version of myself even if that means making sacrifices when necessary.

Artist Research 3

Yayoi Kusama While looking for an artist to research i was immediately drawn to Yayoi Kusama because of her use of vibrant colors and immersive works of art. Growing up she had a mental illness which in cases made her hallucinate so she was able to use that in the creation of her art. Being a Japanese artist, the use of some traditional inspired works is used in her art. Kusama views her most recent works of art as diary entries and if it wasn't for polka dots saving her life she would have killed herself. Spending 37 years of your life in a mental institution can take a toll on you. What i find so facinating about her work is that she immerses herself in it with matching clothes. It's as metaphorical as it is appealing. "I convert energy of my life into dots of the universe". Her way of thinking is truly one of a kind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8mdIB1WxHI

Artist Statement

Ocean life is at risk everyday due to human pollution. My main goal with this project was to hopefully restore that feeling of sadness/regret to how we treat the planet. Sea creatures have no choice but to live in this garbage that we keep dumping in the ocean and sometimes even mistake it for food. We don't realize how rapidly we are destroying our planet. Action must be taken and sometimes art installations have the ability to boost movements towards a better future. This installation was meaningful to me because as i was taking the videos i noticed that most of these animals did not seem happy. Humans are playing a vital role in the natural order of the world and it is only a matter of time before we completely destroy our planet. Without the ocean blue, there is no you.
