bloggin with jochum

I am a student in the Ed.M. Art and Art Education Program at Columbia University's Teachers College. I am interested in exploring visual culture and imagery through signs and signifiers. I am especially interested in photography because of its representation paradox--how what seems to be is not, and what is, is not necessarily there. With that element already part of the medium, it further allows one to explore their interest, which for me, is the everyday. I wanted especially to take this class to introduce me to newer technologies and ways of seeing digitally, since my interest has been quite in-depth in printing and the publishing world.
