Hybridity Investigation: Chris Doyle



Chris Doyle: Brief History

Artist Chris Doyle was born is Pennsylvania in 1959. Today, Chris works in both New York City and Mexico City. Chris is known for creating art with projections, watercolors, and various other art forms. A few of Doyle's famous works are The Fluid, Bright Canyon, and LEAP.










Use of Hybridity in Art

Like many other artists, Chris Doyle incorporates Hybridity into his art. His use of hybridity can been seen in his works such as LEAP. LEAP showcases a mixture of both projection art and film. In the piece, Doyle uses hybridity to exaggerate how high each person can jump. Projecting the video onto the side of a building creates a different understanding for the audience as the piece may have been received differently if viewed normally instead of being projected.



My Thoughts on Hybridity

After investigating both in class and on my own, I have learned how hybridity allows for an artist to expand the possibilities and expectations for their artwork. Normally, each individual art form is limited in what it itself can do which also limits what the audience is to expect. By using hybridity, the artist is given new ways to create their artwork which also changes the expectations of the audience.

Use of Hybridity in My Own Work

By looking at examples of hybridity, I've determined that it is a beneficial tool to be able to use in my own work. I feel that I would be able to incorporate both animation and projection in my own work. Both of these other art forms allow me to create something for use in a project that might be too difficult to create with only film itself. One idea that I came across in my investigation that I found interest in was the ability to control scale with projection. Normally when making a film, the creator is limited in the size they can make their film give off. By presenting a film by projecting it on something large or small, it gives off a different feel in comparison to watching it normally.

Critique Reflection

(Submitted on 11/8/18 since I was sick) For our recreation of the scene from High School Musical, I felt that our process of recreating what was present in the actual scene was one of the better things we did for our project. When comparing our scene to the original, I feel that our shots were lined up very closely to what was originally present. As for what I feel I need to improve on, the main thing would be preparation. There were many points that we should've been more prepared which can be seen in the final film. Since we weren't prepared, some of our shots weren't close to what was seen in the original and some audio issues were present that could've been avoided if we had taken time to prepare before shooting. My strengths for this assignment would probably be my knowledge of the scene and trying to plan by day for what we needed to do. The weakness that I had was not being able manage my group as well as I felt I could. This prevented us from getting work d

End of MP 1 Blog Post

After now reaching the end of the first marking period of the 2019-2020 school year, I am able to reflect back upon the work that I have completed so far. Intention Definition & Exploration Of Ideas Having no prior experience in any particular area of film, I set out to choose a topic to focus on that would allow me to help narrow down my focus. The area I chose to focus on was documentary and mockumentary styled film making. I made this choice with the intention to be able to explore both formal and less formal ideas while also not relying on having to create an entire original idea by myself. The topic of my film (The Game) was chosen because of my familiarity and pre-existing personal opinions about it. Planning Planning an entire production entirely by myself was a change of pace in comparison to how I worked in previous years. I began the planning process by typing out all of my thoughts in order to help establish what I am trying to do. Once I developed an idea for th
