The Joy Of Painting LIVE!
HYPERESSAY: What it means to go live
Project: Internet Art & Culture
Proposal for the final instalment of the Internet Art & Culture project
- Jake Ross Live Stream Painting Show
A full episode of Jake Ross, complete with Easel, painting equipment, lighting, a black backdrop and calming music. Except I’m painting whatever my audiences tell me to. - M.O.D.O.K
M.O.D.O.K is an evil villain from the marvel cinematic universe.
The idea would be to 3D print one of these and put a smartphone in that is live-streaming my face into it and wear it to the Halloween Party in ADM. By modeling this in Germany and printing in Singapore, I am able to transfer and manifest material from 1 space to another across the world, and then, my presence.
Micro-Project 6: Private vs Public

Micro-Project 5: Glitch Aesthetics
The experimentation with editing the text file of the images started this way:
1. I don’t know what I’m doing, so I’ll see what I get
2. I guess I’ll also take a screen shot along with renaming what I changed to learn
This is my learning processes with glitching.

The idea that my password is hidden somewhere in this code, along with one of my most successful artworks coupled with how I slowly tried to understand the process of glitching makes the piece very exciting to work with. If someone were to possibly download this image and track the differences made, they could find out either my password or the fact that this form of analog play is dead.
Micro-Project 4: Pirate Broadcasting
I recorded this micro project twice. One, in class, another outside of class.
Both were live streamed into the instagram platform. Both I did not manage to save on time.
This was from the second attempt, the day before my trip to Bremen, Germany for my artist residency. You can see I stopped the recording because I received a notification from my partner. I stopped the recording but did not manage to record another one before it disappeared.
I guess I was pirated by the very system and platform I chose.
The message has always been what we pirated, in the day and age of pirated DVDs to watch missed movies instead of waiting for them on broadcast television. Now the medium we broadcast is in a double edged, fast and connected sword. The medium is now the pirated message.
Micro Project 1. Anime Double
I am Naruto, I am also Ichigo, or maybe I am a titan or a 10th generation mafia boss. I am also the number 1 hero!
As the master of all 4 elements, I have become quite the figurehead in the anime community all around the world. With my new found abilities as a demon slayer, I mean, AR filter artist, I am struggling to balance what my new found followers want, with who I am, a techhead and artist at heart. I am still the small kid cheering on Kings and Heroes from Japanese animation, but it’s kinda not the same anymore. Crossroads of an alter ego that no longer represents me.
Micro Project 2. Open Subservient Source
We are all slaves to social media; we use when we wake up, while we’re brushing our teeth, while we’re taking a dump, even when we are out with a date.
We are so accustomed to whipping out the phone that some of our pinky fingers have grown a bump to better grip the phone vertically. We evolved to become better subservient chickens for our followers, for the likes and for the gram!!!
Of course the next step would to be literally controlled by social media.
We subjected ourselves, blindly, to our followers, for the views and the likes. Pinned is instructions of what will happen and how they can contribute to this performance.
“Stream ends when we meet or 20 minutes are up. To take part, comment <Jake/Mavis> <action> get creative! :))))))”
Fortunately we were able to meet within 11 minutes even though there were hiccups! Friends who wanted for us to meet the objectives, sometimes giving inaccurate or vague commands that costs the game to become longer than it should. But some of our friends just want to make us suffer.
Artist Notes:
Honestly, we were expecting way worse. Without proper instructions, of course we won’t be able to jump into the pond but we were ready to risk it all(even prepared and came in slippers.) But we are glad we had friends who were supportive.
A take away was that perhaps our friends had their names featured in the stream, it could have pushed them to make decisions that would not harm our friendship. Should full anonymity be given, the result may turn out very skewed.
Executed and performed by Mavis Lim and Jake Tan
Micro-Project 3. Together Split
Having performed micro project 3 relatively near each other, we were able to coordinate to what we wanted to do whilst helping each other out.
Using Instagram’s video call system, we were able to set up a split screen conference of 2 x 2 frames. However, it was not easy to coordinate to visual performance because everyone’s screen was displaying frames that were uncoordinated. We had to decide on using my phone and I started screen recording.
The entire duration of the clip was 12minutes and only about 70 seconds worth of trimmed footage made it into the final cut.
Out of all the 3 Micro-Projects,
- The project that made me feel I had the most creative control was Project 2.
I was able to work together with Mavis to clearly articulate what we wanted to do and improvised together and created a really interesting and engaging concept using social media to engage with our friends and followers. - Project 2 gave quite an unpredictable outcome.
Because of the nature of a social media piece like this, it was totally up to the audience on what we could do. This made it quite nerve wrecking because of its unpredictability. Luckily it was not that bad and our friends were nice. - Project 2 for me best illustrates the concepts of Open Source.
Having people on the internet control your every movement, is pretty much the open source movement that is seen commonly on reddit. Threads get taken over and become other things, subreddits come to live because of the people that take over it.
