Self Portrait Part 2
Artist Book
I have realized that not many people outside of these Organizations know much about stepping or strolling. To me it is an art form done through body movements that shows unity amongst the members. I hope to have shed light on a subject that is so important for me. I am also very happy that this type of art form has been passed down from black organizations to Latin/Latino organizations as well, unifying us as a minority group.

Artist Presentation
For this presentation we chose to work with Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Don Ritter. Both artists were chosen because they both use digital media and interactive technology. They incorporate the audience into their artworks by having them manipulate the effects. Therefore, the theme of the presentation is human interaction and behavior using digital interactive technology.
The educational value of this exhibit is very beneficial. Both artists use technology that is advancing by the minute and has played an important role in the art world, because of some controversial issues. The artists that we chose to display just go to show that technology is a very powerful medium and it helps to keep the art world alive as technology progresses.
The workload was divided fifty/fifty and split the work evenly. The easiest way to divide the work was to choose two artists that would work well with each other then do independent research, later meet up and combine it and do extra necessary research.
