Performance Art
For my performance art I wanted to experiment with pop culture, technology, and how people relate to it. I chose to preform the "Dougie" a dance made popular by the music group Cali Swag District, The song has been all over youtube and plays at most clubs and bars at some point in the night. The dance is a side to side swag, followed by rubbing your head back with your hands like you are "Super Fresh". I went to different locations and did the dougie, reactions from people passing by were mixed but most just seemed a little confused. I think most people are unaware of the dougie, or just were not feeling my swag. Haters.
Below is a the video on how to dougie for reference.

Grid Project
For my grid project I used spare change to create a ying yang symbol, pennies and nickels were used. If you want to try and take some meaning out of what I did I guess you could say that money balances out the world.
Great Depression
The great depression was when the stock market crashed, the world was sent into turmoil people were out of work unable to provide for their families.
In 2008 we went through a recession. It was tough people lost their jobs, but people were still mainly able to provide for their families and survive until things turned around.
Currently the state of the US economy is still suffering and some areas and the only true solution is to adapt to how the world is changed and start living progressively into a new direction.
