If we talk about technology this exist since the man set on earthand during the centuries we have use it but nowdays when life is fast and we have to be very productive for the world is now a need.
Art have always been affected by technological advances and that is what let it be as varied as it is.For example if the painting
This year I had to use it much because in my workshop we make videos and photoshop, is focused on new technologies and the use we can make of it in art .
We work with problems of the 21st century and we try to give it a new spin .
I have been using a lot of different softwares including adobe premier pro for video edition, photoshop; photo edition, cubase;audio edition, fruty loops;bases creation and guitar rig that is a filter for sounds.
A few years ago I wasn't intrested in technologies as a way to explore the possibilities we have with it, even I knew just about small and easy softwares that comes with a camera or a printer if you buy one, in my past I didn't have a computer before 13 , I wasn't so expert even in easy office programs but al my technology knowledge started this year in my workshop. I had to buy my own personal computer because I needed to work with many softwares I' ve never used beforea and everyone there had one. They could complete the tasks very well.(in process)
In my opinion and according to my experience this year, technology can help a lot but some problems can happen and we sometimes depend much of technology to the point we don't know what to do if something fails ome . Some accidents I've had during this two years with presentaions and process have been technological problems, there is a grade of uncertainly while you use it, not always it works as it must.(in process)

Piñera, Arrete, Marco, Frei
Oh what a great topic, I feel really dissatisfied with all the candidates,I think my vote will be for no one because their proposals does not convince me. I see that politic years after back to democracy have been a disorder and thown the parties appart.The differences will always be there because humans have not the same ideas but we can look for agreements but now I see every one candidate and cannot find something that make me feel safe and say they are really good or they will guide the country in a very good way or if thoy will know how to continue the good benefits that concertacion have done. Personally I don`t want to see Chile stucked or moving back. I feel Bachelet have done her job well and she did something that is really useful, she was carefull in the times chile had a lot of money and saw the crisis as an opportunity to give all the kept money. In my opinion people in chile, people who does not have good education think the government has some functions that it doesn't have, they don't understand some elemental things about politic and some candidates take advantage of that point.
I didn't register myself because I wasn't interested in politic because I thought, and I still do, that they are not my taste and I won't let them (none)to govern.I think I got wrong my decision because I talked to someone about it and that person gave me very good reasons for voting , so I'm regretful for it, the netx time I will do that, now I know that a grain of sand can make a difference.

Damien Hirst says anyone can be like Rembrandt. But does art world agree?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/nov/14/damien-hirst-rembrandt-art-comment
Damien Hirst was very hard criticized for his last exhibition, for his paintings and because he have said that anyone can be like Rembrandt or as good as a famous artist from the past just working hard. The critics said that he is not worried about being a "decent artist" and just say things others don't agree.The thing is, you are good working hard but there are others that have special skills and ease for art.
I choose this topic first of all because it is about art and in my opinion is very intresting the discuss because it faces you to the figure of the genius in art, a figure that have been there for centuries,a very long myth or maybe reality.
To mention the article discussion I think with hard work you can improve a lot but the special thing maybe is what is in your head, you can be technically good but not as good in other things. I f you work and you have talent you will certainly feed your artistic skills, the wonderful thing is the universe that lies within you, the technique is just the way for taking out the imagination. No one can be like other, I think as ana rtist you should worrie about yourself, about being like you want to be or making the things you want to do not to compare yourself with another, everyone is so different and has different experiences wich modifies the way you see the world and the way you express yourself.

Chilean artists go to...
We are lucky to be studying at the Universidad de Chile but not all the things are right,the nowdays situation is that the building and the rooms are not appropiated for the class , sometimes,we have to adapt places for having better performances.
I think all the building needs to be redesigned except for the canteen and the auditorium, they are new and don´t need anything else but for example in my class, we need some kind of space for making performances, photos or vídeos and we have to do it the tasks at home at an unscripted studio. This is fun but sometimes oneself doesn´t have the equipment and the quality of your work is not as good as it could be.
The toilets in this faculty are not good,almost all the time there is bad smell and is wet.
Another point is the furnishings, the chairs we have and the tables are like the last things other faculties threw away and I think they have been there for many years, have been the same, never replaced for new ones.The things have been painted by layers and layers.
On past thursday I saw a room with pcs at the ICEI, and I htought we could have better computers with the programms as photoshop that is the singlest we need. People not always have the requests in their computers for having some kind of heavy softwares.
If I could improve my faculty I'll make a better library with more copies and a nicer place. Then , obviously the rooms will be built with strong materials and stright walls for workshop presentations, Big space for lighning, all these if people that use it could be able to respect and being responsible with what they have. I f we don't care about good things and destroy them will never have a good art faculty.

Ireland agus England
If I had the opportunity to travel another country probably will visit the UK because there are two countries that I love; England and Ireland. One of the reasons why I love these countries is the landscape and the cultures.
Talking aout Ireland I love the strange accent and the irish, for me is a very difficult language and I think it is for everyone who doesn´t know to speak.I like too the celtic culture, the music is amazing and have the spirit of the wind blowing and the rain.For me Ireland is mistic because of its celtic mythology and the intresting and curious places from ancient religions like wicca. This places are extended not just in Ireland, are in the whole british islands like stonehenge or big stones organized forming strange roads or drawings through the fields, this megalitic monuments are from prehistoric times.
From England I like the musical life, they have many festivals and concerts of really good band not including that they have the beatles, led zeppelin, pink floyd, ironmaiden,judas priest, queen and all that historical bands that have made very important contributions, also the london symphonic orchestra is considered one of the best world orchestras.
Another wonderful thing is the architecture of the places, the modern and the ancient, I think it reflex moments of history and takes you through the time.
The only thing I don't like is the weather, is almost all the time cloudy and rainy, I hate the extreme summer heat from chile but I like the sun, I like when the sun appears.
PD: I talked about the uk and I din't count wales and scotland, these are not my favorite ones but I would visit them too.

Banksy in the gun sight: Banksy artwork painted over in Hackney
http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/sep/03/banksy-artwork-painted-over-hackney
Banksy is a very well known artist, he paints on walls, he is a graffitti artist.Last week the Hackney council sent a group of workers to paint over a graffitti done eight years ago. People from Stoke Newington didn't agree with the decision, they were devasted because every graffitti was removed from the streets and the authorities never consult to the owner of the building that had the painting on, they said the tried to contact her. The responses they gave(the council) were "Hackney council does not make a judgment call on whether graffiti is art or not, our task is to keep Hackney's streets clean." And that is The point, they just make their work but don't worrie about the artistic value of the things, is easy to make a difference between somethin according to the landscape and well painted and that also has a sense in comparison of scrawls or messages that have no sense and just are done for people who want to scratch.
