Response to Learning to Love You More

Browse the website Learning to Love You More by artist Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher:

http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/

and offer your responses. How is the relationship to media technology articulated in this art project different from the ones suggested by some of the other texts we've examined in class? For extra-credit, do one of the assignments and post a full description of what you did and your reflection on the process.

***Sorry, this post somehow didn't appear on the website until Sunday even though I posted it on Friday (thanks, Candice, for alerting me to this problem). So to adjust for lost time, your comments are not due until class on Wednesday. By the way, excellent job on your essay presentations. I am excited to see so many percolating ideas and hope that the provocative intersections between many of your topics provide seeds for fruitful exchanges. One note, remember to keep your presentations to *5* short and sweet minutes, so that we have adequate time for feedback.

Miranda July definitely has a unique way of commentating on the concept of media technology an art. The image of an old couple kissing definitely sets the tone of the website; it’s an embracing of each other, chosen from randomized submissions from all over the world. I feel that in this way, using a person’s random submission of their parents kissing as the background of the website, is an essential point to how we’re able to use technology to embrace others, and remembering and reminding us of the beauty of human interaction in our everyday lives.

The other texts that we’ve examined has definitely been a real criticism of media technology, often times just focusing on its negative aspects, such as its inability to present reality and experiences. But I feel like this art project focuses a lot on bringing out the positive aspects of media technology to incorporate into our lives. She uses technology to sort of get us thinking about aspects of our lives that are often overlooked. The love between our parents, reflecting on our past by writing out advice, or thinking about parts of your life you wish you could change. I think that instead of focusing on how photographs don’t capture the experiences, she uses them to remind us and forces us to reflect on situations. We do, in fact, get an impact of our lives from technology, but a positive one, not a negative. I think that the impact and intention behind utilizing media technology is uplifting and more powerful, instead of just a 5-page criticism on how telepresence does not amount to reality.

For extra-credit, I also chose to do assignment #50, which is to take a flash photo under my bed. This struck me because I always neglect what is under my bed, only placing things there when they don’t contribute to the neat-ness of my room. It was very fascinating to kind of revisit exactly what was growing under there (kidding). Turns out it was just a bunch of old shoes that I don’t normally wear everyday, including some flip-flops I rediscovered. It’s really amazing the random stuff you find under there, and the things in your life that you neglect daily. I was decently surprised that I had found things I really loved in the past. Old shoes I used to wear everyday, and it really just let me realize how quickly we move onto other things and leave behind others. This really made me kind of regret losing contact with a lot of people from high school already. But doing this was a good activity, because it really made me evaluate what I keep important, and what I kind of just shove “under my bed.”

Miranda July and technology are friends. July uses her website as a means of inspiring cinephiles and others alike. July utilizes technology’s ability to span the world to spread her ideas; people as far as Spain have turned in their “homework” to her website. Like her other works, July’s website fosters unlikely connections by allowing viewers to e-mail those who submitted their assignments. The title alone reveals July’s optimistic attitude towards technology and the internet. “Learning to Love You More” suggests that it is a site for exploring one’s heart and as a result of visiting this site one can expect great, happy outcomes. The assignments are not mentally straining or physically impossible, but they do test one’s creativity (assignment 49) and they ask for people to be honest with themselves (assignment 53). Unlike the authors and filmmakers we have looked at in class, July does not criticize technology, fear its future, or frown on its actions. Rather, July embraces technology’s vast capabilities to show others how friendly technology can be.

In response to the written question, I think this website is relevant in discussion with “Disembodied Telepresence”. In Kracauer’s work, he explores the idea that communication over long distance through technology is inherently a downgrade from real interaction. With this website, however, there is an effort to make internet connections between random people and make interesting real relationships by each individual user.

I first browsed the website after Miranda July’s lecture at the BAM before Thanksgiving and found it very interesting. I chose Assignment #27, take a picture of the sun, because it involved photography, could be done individually, and seemed more interesting then the underside of my bed. I ended up taking a picture from the roof of my house just as the sun came over the Berkeley Hills. The process of taking the picture required me to get up early, climb up to my roof, and sit in the cold until the sun came up. I could tell it was getting close, because the tops of the Unit 1 dorms were getting sunlight, and the light slowly moved down closer to me. When it finally came, the sun was spectacular. Overall, the experience was very interesting, which is probably what Miranda July was attempting for me to get out of it.

When I first clicked on the link to July's website and saw the elderly couple kissing, I was surprised and amused at the same time. The photograph seemed so characteristic of what Miranda July would do and what she advocates for. Looking at the different assignments on the site, I found many of them to be very interesting and random. Many of them use technology in a way to draw connections between two people. For example, there was an assignment that asked for a photograph of two strangers holding hands, and another that asked the reader to draw his friend's friend. Many of the assignments also had to do with family relationships or self love. There was an assignment that asked for a family portrait of two families, and one that asked the reader to heal herself. Overall, the assignments ask us to do what we would normally never think to do ourselves. They are seemingly random and disconnected acts, but they all relate in the sense that they evoke an emotion, usually love or happiness. This is different from the way technology is used in the texts that we are reading. In "Disembodied Telepresence" Dreyfus writes about the lost sense of reality and closeness that one receives through technology. However, in LTLYM, technology is used to draw people closer together. I think this surprising use of technology is what makes Miranda July's site, as well as her films, so interesting and quirky.

July’s Learning to Love you More website gives people an opportunity to examine their daily lives, surroundings, interactions, make connections and also dive deeper into one’s soul. Previous technologies mentioned can definitely offer the same experience, but authors only view them in an objectified way for practical purposes and daily functioning. July takes advantage of the versatility of the internet, which allows people to display multiple mediums and forms of expression, through songs, photographs, video, images, and text. In addition, Learning to Love You More acts as a forum for people all over the globe to share their comments, criticism, and extend love and acceptance to each other.

Upon visiting the site for the first time, I didn’t expect to see a picture of an old couple embracing and kissing each other. It embodied the title of the website very well and thought it was very Miranda July to do so. The site may seem simplistic, lacking exuberant visuals or a complex site set up, but it relays a sense of authenticity and honesty to me. I’m not sure how to explain it, but I think the pink/beige and orange create a very warm and appealing tone, while overlapping picture and texts makes me feel they really do need some help with their site.

I chose assignment 27 because taking pictures of the skyscape and sun has become one of my favorite pastimes. Every time I go home, I make a visit to the beach and coast and always snap a few pictures of all around. The sun has found its way into one of my usual subjects. For the past several years, I keep my camera on me to catch the magnificent spectacle of the sun and its rays shining through and bouncing off clouds. It always makes me nostalgic reminds me of happy times and many lazy afternoons at Ocean Beach with important people in my life. I guess Miranda July succeeded in helping more people find connections.

Learning To Love You More is a pretty basic website in my opinion. It’s not flashy with a lot information and links, and what’s there is simple. The highlighting of the words reminded me of how Miranda July checked off the list in the presentation, a little out of the ordinary. But the purpose of the website is not to be attractive and get a certain number of page hits per day to get advertising. The website is meant to let you do something personal in a creative and hopefully fun way. It’s a place for others to share their personal experiences with strangers. The website is meant to bring you closer to yourself and to strangers who also did the assignments. The fact that it’s on a website doesn’t distance you from others like Disembodied Telepresence suggests. It’s a good venue for sharing the assignments people completed; anyone can see it as opposed to if it were in a museum. It could be done a little more professionally, but I think that would go against Miranda July’s personality.

Extra Credit:
When I looked down the list, there were several that seemed interesting, but I chose to do the one that seemed the most relevant to my life, assignment #35: ask your family to describe what you do. Since I moved away from home and came to college, I have been slowly trying to loosen my parents’ grip on me. Mainly, I don’t tell them a lot of what I do when I’m here at Berkeley. And when I do try to include them, I still don’t tell them the entire story. It’s partly because they are so conservative and old fashioned, but part of it is building my independence from them. The responses I got back were funny, at least to me. My mom thinks all I do is study and e-mail my friends. But with AIM and facebook and my cell phone, I haven’t e-mailed a single friend in over a year. And I sure don’t spend enough time studying. My dad was more accurate, but in his response he expressed his difficulty coping with the fact that I don’t live at home (in other words, he has no control over what I do.) He also wrote, “Hopefully not too much crazy stuff.” I thought that was funny because he knew I would be the one reading it. And then my older brother’s response was about as general as you can get. I think that was because he would have rather spent his time doing something else. Time after time I have proven that I can handle tough situations, but my parents still think of me as their baby. This assignment helped me see that I need to fill them in more and not be afraid of their reaction, at least so that they won’t worry about me living on my own as much. It’s good to know that my parents don’t think I’m getting into trouble and have faith in me as a student. But it makes me not want to disappoint them all the more.

The website is for once not a completely useless technological endeavor, as Boredom or Disembodied Telepresence infer about technology, as it encourages one to connect with themselves and wrap up in their own emotional world. Doing some of the assignments can heal, as writing or thinking about “Saddest Song”, “Advice”, or “Phone Call” can actually get one in touch with what they want in life, what they should have done, where to go, or how they feel about something. It’s sort of practical, and it allows people to network with one another – maybe not directly, but by identifying with others’ experiences.

Of course, as per the usual emotional artist, Miss July’s website gets too flowery and inane, and her random things like “under bed photos” and “hand-holding” just get too irritatingly square. Also, her “Defeat Bush” and “Go and Protest” assignments just go to show what a loopy demagogue she is, and really have no significance when it comes to loving yourself more. It’s immature of her to alienate people who really want to utilize her site to love themselves more by pandering to the far left. Inserting her own political agenda in there just offends and irritates people like me who aren’t necessarily Republicans but don’t come close to identifying with the smear “hate” speech and irrational unproductive dialogue exemplified by Michael Moore and that radical left type. We also feel excluded because having those “assignments” precludes and assumes the audience agrees with her (and is that type of audience), which is rude because some of us don’t. But on the flipside, I’d do one of her assignments for my own personal psychological gain, and then donate money and time for one of the things on George W. Bush’s “assignments” (agenda). The far-left damages the Democratic Party, and you can thank people like Michael Moore and Miranda July for garnering Mr. Bush an election victory in 2004 (if you’re unhappy, that is). I don’t mean to make this all about politics, but I thought I’d write about what consumed and overtook me about her site after going through it.

What the assignment should be is “Tell Bush what he can do better,” because he’s there ladies and gentlemen, and he’s going to be there for a while, and won’t be defeated. He certainly deserves constructive criticism though, as do all presidents. Also, he’s more likely to listen to protesting from Liebermann Democrats and moderates (rational people interested in dialogue), and will ignore, point, and laugh at Berkeley protestors (who are nothing more than an amusing three ring circus).

BIG FAT EXTRA CREDIT:

Actually, after writing this, I’ve decided to pursue assignment 44, which is to propose a learning to love you more assignment. In it, I explained how immature I thought her original “Defeat Bush” assignment was and that it would lead nowhere. Then, I suggested what I thought about in my third paragraph, which is “Tell President Bush what he can do better”. It will encourage productive dialogue and criticism, and not just unify a series of Bush-bashing demagogues who just want to see the president flounder in every way possible.

Anyways, I submitted it, so let’s see if they’ll post it.

Technologically the website is not very advanced. It was odd seeing a picture of an old couple kissing, but from my perspective technology could have advance this further. It could have been a little video of the couple kissing instead of the simple still image. As we proceed into the main pages, we see a lot of emptiness and it seems rather dull. It looks like something you could just put together in an hour. If the website was grade on appearance it would receive a very low score. Technologically the website could have implemented a nice background of some sort or a less typical layout page. It seems as if this is intentional though. Miranda July has been known to keep things simple and I guess the website is the product of it.

Extra Credit: Number nine sounded interesting and so I looked all over my freckles and tried to find freckles the resembled constellations. I was able to find Orion’s Belt, hahaha. The other activity that caught my eye was number thirteen. Although I did not take a whole day, maybe more like an hour, it was rather interesting. It allowed me to reflect and remember good times which brought me smiles. I think this website serves its purpose in making people feel better about themselves. I certainly did, whether if it was accepting my freckles or just a nice reflection about my life. Overall it was an interesting experience and worth another look when I’m in the dumps.

The initial photograph of the old couple kissing was kind of weird. Considering that this is an art project, I was kind of expecting a little more. But the web site has no graphics except for stuff people submitted, and instead just has highlighted text. Contrary to what Dreyfus believes, I think that this site actually does bring people together, by showing us their assignments. I guess it kind of also connects you to yourself; doing these assignments are designed to make you feel good and learn a little more about yourself.

Extra Credit: I picked the take a picture of the stuff under your bed one, well, because it sounded easy. I live in a triple, so the only thing under my bed is my roommate's bed. I don't think I experienced what I was supposed to. It just kind of made me jealous of my roommate because he always makes his bed and is generally neater than me.

This website does not have the pop-ups, adds, 3D images, and sounds that one may expect from a typical webpage found online. The lack of commercialization and its simplicity helps give the feel that this was done by a person in their free time not a group of computer geeks hired to put this together. This makes it more intimate unlike the distancing one might expect from telepresecence as suggested by Dreyfus. Its lack of embellishments help make us "bored" so that we focus more on the content that the site has to offer instead of the visuals that would otherwise distract visitors from the intented goal of the website.

*extra credit* Assignment 11
I took a picture of a scar on my left forearm (actually scanned it). This scar is the biggest one I have which is about 4 inches long. I got this scar when i was about 10 or 11 and my friend and I were wrestling in his room. His bed had a metal frame and during the fray I cut myself on one of the sharper corners. Needless to say it was a painful experience but it reminds me of the good times of my childhood, my friend, sparring, back when nothing mattered but just having fun. Show much has changed since those days. I came to Berkeley and he joined the Marine Corps and volunteered for Iraq. Although the scar I have has become faded and almost gone, I can still feel it there. I guess it will be a reminder of my childhood and the facts boys will be boys.

In the website “Learning to Love You More,” it seems that Miranda July is trying to make people do just that – learning to love more. It takes a different perspective from the texts we’ve seen in class because it has a positive outlook on technology. It encourages communication and interaction with other people by posting personal drawings, writings, and recordings on the internet. Although you don’t actually meet people on the internet, you’re able to learn about strangers by viewing drawings of scenes from movies that made them cry, conversations they wish they’d had, the way they view things through a camera, and even by looking at which assignments they choose to do. Most of the texts seen in class had a negative outlook on technological sources of communication because they don’t completely substitute face to face interaction. Although the “Learning to Love You More” doesn’t substitute fact to face interaction by allowing a person to interact with other people who submit their assignments, it does encourage some sort of interaction. Among other things, some of the assignments are to draw a friend’s friend, to describe what your family thinks you do, to take pictures of other people. These assignments require the person doing them to interact with other people face to face and to also work with them or have conversations with them that they otherwise would not have had.

Extra Credit:
On the “Learning to Love You More” website, I did assignment #32. This assignment was to draw a still image of a scene that made you cry. This scene had to be from a movie. At first I wasn’t sure what scene to draw, and since I don’t have a television and my computer doesn’t play dvds anymore, I couldn’t watch any of those movies. I also don’t have those movies with me. I couldn’t decide what movie to choose from because there have been MANY movies that still make me cry even when I’m watching them for a third time. While trying to decide, I went through all of the other reports submitted. There were a lot of repeated movies and scenes that I had also thought of posting about. There were also some weird scenes where I thought it was weird if it caused a person to cry haha. After viewing all of the drawings, I decided on a scene from the movie Dear Frankie because no one had drawn a scene from it and I didn’t want to draw the same scene someone else had already done. It took quite some time to draw because I was going to draw it from memory but I couldn't remember correctly and finally after a lot of searching I found a still image on the web of the exact scene I wanted to draw. So, even though the assignment was to draw from the television, I didn’t follow the instructions specifically. I then couldn’t figure out how to submit my drawing because it said to not write the title and description of what scene I was drawing on the actual drawing, so it took a while for me to figure out that I could just email it. I think this assignment helped confirm that I cry too easily in movies and that I have a hard time deciding what to do. I couldn’t decide what assignment to do, or what movie, and then I couldn’t decide what scene from the movie to draw. Overall I liked this assignment and I think that this website is very unique and interesting.

When you first enter the website you see an elderly couple kissing. That was kind of a curveball for me. I did not know what to expect but the website turned out to be very simple and very straightfoward with what assignments you can do. I thought that suited Miranda July and her personality. She did not seem like a person who needed flashy or gaudy stuff to make her feel good about herself. Dreyfus talked about how teleprescence would make people seem more distant and not as attached. However for some reason the elderly couple kissing just seemed so passonate and real. Did not seem phony or contrived. That is just me. The teleprescence seemed to make it a little more personal because it seemed like those two could be anyone's grandparents.

Extra Credit: I did reread my favorite fifth grade book There is a Boy in the Girl's Restroom and it is still a good book even now. It seemed even deeper than when i read it because a lot of pretty tough things actually happens that would be tough for a fifth grader to deal with in real life. THe boy is a bully, even though he has stuffed animals he plays and talks with, and changes through self discovery and a really good teacher who cares for him and helps him become a new person. It is a pretty sad book but only gives people hope and it is also still pretty funny even now. I am glad i got to read it again from the public berkeley library.

I'm starting with the Extra Credit assignment first. It helped me to think about the different relationships between technologies of media expressed within our texts, and those in LTLYM.

I chose #28 "Edit a Photo Album Page" for my assignment. The assingment was to pick a page on a photo album, and cover the entire album page with a "colored paper". Somehow, you're supposed to cut holes that expose small objects within the album page (she uses the example of, a cut-out of a cake, or someone's head). I finally decided upon a page with of a group of some old friends of mine, and New Zealand photos. I couldn't find any good colored paper that was big enough to fit the entire album page, so I used two pink flyer-papers that I had from Welcome Week. Cutting out tiny holes to match objects on the album was especially difficult, since I was using a razorblade to make the cuts (And I was scratching up the plastic covering the photos, grrrr). At one point, I thought ot myself "Why don't I just edit this on Photoshop" and paste color over the album. Any hoo, I decided to make not-so-perfect windows to expose the objects, and instead guesstimated where I would cut. The project turned out pretty nicely, and I thought it looked really neat and interesting to "splice" images this way.

After thinking about the process and my thoughts while actually doing this assignment, I found that I could contextualize much of what Berger and Kracauer argued in their critiques of technologies of vision and telepresence. When I thought "Gee, why not just edit this on photoshop" I realized it was because I was being careless and damaging my photo album. Doing it physically and not on some computer program forced me to pay special care to what I was doing, focusing on detail and control. Technology allows you to edit, undo, or paste over, while cutting my photos would mean the end of it, no Ctrl + Z!!!!! Ultimately, I figured that it was this type of small detail that Kracauer and Berger argued was lost within technology.

On the other hand, Miranda July's site is also a product of mediated-technology, but has carries something different, maybe something more that makes people feel, or maybe take a look into someone elses feelings. It's all very wishy-washy, but very interestingly, it stands firmly against Kracauer and Berger's arguments. The site promotes activity, and then incorporates technology in the sharing of those activities that force you to feel. Maybe it's the femininity behind it all, but Miranda's site does not diminish uniquity or steal spirit, but rather lets you see uniquity, and instills spirit, whether that spirit be to go and do one of her assingments, or simply to experience what is being presented in someone else's work.

I felt fortified as I browsed through all of the projects, and was glad to be reading something quite the opposite of androids overtaking humanity and technology destroying characteristics of life, even though I still believe technologies of media can be excessive and unnecessary at some times. I think I'll try to do more assignments when I feel like doing one.

I believe that the primary difference with regard to media technology between the site and the technology in the readings is that this technology is used specifically for the purpose of highlighting what other technologies inherently take away. Disembodied telepresence is entirely about the ways in which technologies of communication strip the users of emotional interaction. The website attempts to connect users specifically with emotional contexts, immersing visitors in a plethora of deep, ponderous media. Not only that, but it also allows its visitors to engage in tasks that draws them closer to their loved ones or causes them to think about ideas and events that they would have never before considered. In contrast, technologies usually seek to maximize user comfort, not challenge the user.

E.C. I decided to do Assignment #37, which was to write down a recent arguement. I originally though the assignment would bring back bad memories and make me uneasy, but it actually did the exact opposite. While writing, I did feel quite uncomfortable, mainly because I was seeing the event in my mind. But when I read what I had written, the whole endeavor seemed so ridiculous that I had to laugh. I showed the friend who I'd argued with the dialogue, and he found just as amusing. I really enjoyed doing this assignment, but there was ONE thing that disappointed me--when I looked back on what I said, I realized I could have made my arguement MUCH clearer and even avoided most of the miscommunication that occured altogether. But as I said, the assignment was definitely worth it.

For some reason… I actually did the LTLYM assignment #50… and I thought I blogged about it… but after checking it just now… I realized I didn’t. I remember reading through this blog on Sunday but for some reason I didn’t complete it on time. I know this is ridiculously late but I decided to blog anyway and let anyone still reading know what I was up to.

Let me first start off by saying that I absolutely love the LTLYM site. I think it’s a fascinating way to bring together artists and non-artists across the globe and feature their work for everyone to see. It’s interesting that they call the works “assignments,” those titles alone make me want to accomplish them as opposed to jobs or requirements. I really liked that they seem open-ended and they don’t seem forced. It’s almost like a step back into elementary school… where you have these great projects to do but they are left up to your imagination.

I chose assignment #50 about taking a flash photo under my bed and I was very ecstatic when I found out they posted it. There’s something about having my work showcased for people to see that makes me feel really good. Back in grade school… it seemed like when we had projects to create… the teacher would choose the best ones to paste up around the classroom for display. She chose the ones she thought were the most colorful or the most creative or the most decorative… and sometimes it hurt to not see mine up there. Sometimes I figured my teachers may not even post mine up at all and it kind of made me lose faith in the whole assignment… I didn’t give it 110% because I didn’t care if it was going to be seen again. The thing I really liked about doing the flash photo was that I knew my work was going to be posted. The creators of the site aren’t biased… they accept all kinds of material and post it for everyone. It made me want to do it more and made me feel good when I saw it up there. Someone cared enough about a stranger they don’t even know to display their work of art… without judgment or ridicule. LTLYM is a brilliant outlet for aspiring creators to funnel out their creativity. I can’t wait to work on the next assignment: “create a paper replica of your bed.”
