Feels little disgusting exploiting an already exploited venue of Merry Alpern's images of prostitutes and heroin users for a music video... and then in the end not even crediting the author. Alexander Berg
Hi Alex; thanks for the insight, I did not know Merry Alpern's work and I do agree that it should have been mentioned at some point in the video. The inspiration -to say the least- is obvious. That said, I think it might not be a bad thing to find inspiration in a work of such quality, instead of always doing the same crappy videos we see 95% of the time. But again, as long as the original author is credited.
This is the active homepage of the Academy of Art MFA class 'IDEATION & PRESENTATION' that was brainstormed by Will Mosgrove and myself back in 2006, and is now in its second year of application.
Its creation and intent is to foster an individual's resolute conviction of their visual ideas; that their indelible ideative imprint is manifest in critically actuated presentation materials as well as practiced verbal elocution as being paramount. We take an aggressive approach to inviting outside guest presenters/critics in to every class that also assign bespoke projects in advance of their appearance to bridge those expectations and provide insight.
The summation of intent is to elicit a full complement of preparedness to pursue a career as a commercial artist with vigor, esteem and success with conviction; and not by following.
Thanks for visiting, please feel free to contact any of us with queries/comments.
