I presented following image:

My fellow students analyzed and commented this picture.

These were the comments:

• can’t tell if photograph or screenprint or silkscreen
• puzzle of medium
• airbrushed
• spraypaint but also register that you get with screenprinting (even though you know it’s not that)
• something about the cyan yellow magenta black makes you think if it is in the realm of an experiment
• layering is interesting – looks like the circle is covered by black. circle rapid speed down
• terms of material: the sphere looks like glass, reflecting light. being held by black container
• reminded Mia of a mask – cross where the eyes are – model of a face
• sphere turns into a disk – kind of moving
• physical laws, importance in color laws (subtraction, addition, primary colors)
• abstract composition
• would be interesting what paper would be chosen if it was prainted
• matte paper would make it completely different than glossy paper
• what color would you add to the shadow to make it dark
• „weirdy digital pointilism“
• like a color wheel
• contemporary context:
• kandinsky
• mid-central modern (like Mad Men series)
• streamline design
• Brâncuși sculptures: in terms of what minimal form would you have to make to create a portrait?
• cosmic (heavenly body going through transition) passing another heavenly body
• hyperrealism painting
• play between fore- and background
• distortion of gradual-red like a radial blur
